I have sucessfully retrofitted Electric tailgate on my 2012 V70 
A while ago I wrote a small program that lets me edit my own CarConfig with a DiCE interface. No more need to pay * for every single change and I can edit any part of the config.
In my car I changed parameter #177 to 0x05.
Here is the wiring brought to me by a very good friend that spends to much time at the junkyard

Lots of wiring and realizing the interior roof has to come down...

Time to replace the rear hatch wiring and a new lock with closing motor.

Cleaning up the wiring.. have two wires left, they are for keyless cars. Maybe some time they can be useful?

Make CarConfig change!

Simple youtube video with the result:
Then I realized that you cannot close the hatch with the key!! So I had to build a circuit for that to:
