Hi all,
anyone experience with upgrading the manual tailgate on the DS7 1.Gen to electrical?
Looking forward to hearing from you regarding experiences, information.

Yes, it’s possible, but it requires a lot of work. You’ll need to buy a complete tailgate with wiring harness, actuators, and all the components. This is the simplest way to not miss anything.
This mounting also needs to be changed for the tailgate to function properly.
The BSI must also be reprogrammed. For a complete conversion, changes are made to five BSI zones. These include the third key button zone and the hands-free zone. The key itself requires no modifications, except for the plastic where the lights are located.
This is the bare minimum for the tailgate to work. To open the tailgate with your foot, you’ll also need to add a new wiring harness and antenna to the rear bumper.
I did this in my C5 Aircross. I moved all the necessary items to my tailgate.
