For Honda Edix / FR-V 2004-2009 Electric Power Tailgate Lift Kit Anti Pinch Height Memory Hands Free Kick Sensor System Automatic tailgate conversion for the 6-seat Honda Edix and FR-V — anti-pinch, height memory, quiet brushless motor
Overview
The Honda Edix (known as the FR-V in Europe) is a compact six-seat MPV built between 2004 and 2009. Its tailgate is wide and relatively heavy, and because the car is often used by families, the rear door is opened and closed many times every day. The original gas struts also lose pressure over the years, so the door becomes harder to hold up.
This electric power tailgate lift kit replaces the original gas struts with motorised electric struts and adds a dedicated control module. The tailgate then opens and closes automatically at the touch of a button, and the load on the original struts is eliminated.
Because the Edix and FR-V were sold in different markets with different wiring layouts, each kit is prepared for the exact vehicle version. Send us the model year and a photo of the original strut mounting area and we will confirm the correct configuration before shipping.

What Is Included in the Kit
- Power tailgate control module with anti-pinch logic
- Left and right electric lift struts with original-style ball joints
- Wiring harness with plugs matched to the Edix / FR-V loom
- Tailgate release button and harness
- Reinforced mounting brackets and fixing bolts
- English installation manual
- Optional: hands-free foot (kick) sensor module

Key Features Designed for an older vehicle
The brackets follow the original body anchor points of the 2004-2009 platform, so the conversion does not require welding or cutting of the tailgate. Original fixings can be reused when the car is returned to standard specification.
Anti-pinch safety
If the moving tailgate meets an obstacle while closing, the module stops the motor and reverses the door immediately. This is important on a family MPV where children are often near the rear of the car.
Height memory
The maximum opening height can be programmed and stored, which helps in low garages and car parks and makes the door easier to reach for shorter users.
Comfortable, controlled movement
The brushless motor raises and lowers the door at a steady, quiet speed, avoiding the slam that happens with worn gas struts.
Plug and play connection
The harness is prepared for the Edix / FR-V wiring layout and connects to the original plugs. The kit is designed to be 100% plug and play. Whether the kit is 100% plug and play depends on the specific vehicle model — please contact us to confirm before ordering. (是否100%即插即用,需要根据具体车型,可以联系我们先确认)
