Typo? ;)
No with entry and drive by the time you've reached the tailgate the car will accept pressing the button unlocking the car and opens. So if you're not having the tailgate open with the key in your pocket and pressing the wiper button you've got a problem.

Oh, I find it very easy with the entry & drive, just come straight to the back of the car with the key in my pocket or buried in my backpack and press the wiper button and hey presto, car unlocked and tailgate opens. That's what I thought you meant that it made more sense to use the wiper button (rather than the driver's door button) for the tailgate if you have entry & drive because the car unlocks at the same time. 8-)
