Hi guys - I have just come across this product, whilst doing some general browsing,

The main function of this module, once installed, is the ability to close the tailgate from the Macan Remote control, and also open / close the sunroof from the remote along with a few other 1 touch control functions I think.

The Niche Technologies product is no-longer available but this module from mods4cars.com (also available from Design911) does the same thing, but does not have as many functions, I think.

I like the technology side of it and it seems simple enough to install, but not sure if it is worth £320 - the Niche technologies module was about £500 if I remember correctly

Yes I did see that one too - it only does one thing ie. enable closing of the tailgate via the key remote which is fine if that is what you really want but you need to solder a few wires, whereas the mods4cars module is completely plug and play

Sunroof can be open and closed from the key without a mod. Not worth it to be able to close the tailgate just with the key - not a hardship having to reach up to the switch :-)

Agree.

You can also close the tailgate by pressing and holding down the driver's door switch, wirh the ignition on.

Pressing and holding the OPEN button on the remote also opens all the windws and puts the pano into the open tilt position. ;)
Handy on a hot day before getting in your Macan 8-)

It emits a warning as it closes so no, you can't use it to in "inadvertently" decapitate anybody...... unless they're deaf 🤔

Actually mods4cars manufactured the module for Niche Technologies. When I got my Niche Technologies module, it was mods4cars's hardware, software and installation kit.

They are identical and now available for a much better price directly from mods4cars.com.

I can confirm that the mods4cars / Niche Technologies module is full plug and play and installation is a breeze.
