Chang Teng, a car goods sales company, has started a project on the crowdfunding site "CAMPFIRE" for the sale of a retrofit power back door kit exclusively for the Toyota "Prius (50 series)".
The power back door is a function that opens and closes the back door electrically by operating a switch, which is installed as an option on some minivans, station wagons and SUVs. It is convenient to open and close the back door when your hands are full, such as when you are holding an umbrella, carrying luggage, or holding a child. The Prius 50 series does not have a genuine option, and the company has released a review video of a sample product. The project was started due to the large number of responses exceeding 100,000 views.
The retrofit power back door kit is designed specifically for the car model, and the coupler can be easily connected to the vehicle. After installation, the back door can be opened and closed automatically by simply pressing the switch. The product comes with two types of additional switches for the driver's seat and for the back door. The driver's seat switch operates with a long press and the back door switch with a short press. It can also be operated with a genuine keyless remote control. Short press the door unlock button three times to automatically open and close the back door.
In addition, it is equipped with an auto closure function that moves smoothly and quietly and automatically closes the door completely, a safety function that prevents pinching, and a back door open position memory function that allows you to freely set the opening height.
Product contents include damper x 2, stay x 4 (left and right 2 each), control unit, electric latch motor, driver's seat switch, back door switch, cables, mounting screws, hole saw, double-sided tape, binding band. The return price is from 88,000 yen for a limited 30 units. In addition, the product is crowdfunded by the All-or-Nothing method. Sales will be carried out when the support amount reaches the target of 2.64 million yen. Support application period is until February 28.
