Default Rear hatch release?

My new to me 93 GTS has a driver side remote hatch release only...I see many pics that has on on the passenger side as well.
Is this an option for both sides vs driver side only?

My early production '94 (really a '93 model) only has the release on the drivers side as well. My guess would be that they must have got rid of the dual releases at some point.

Dual was deleted on GTS models - you can easily add it back if you like. I now have dual releases done as an add when I installed the KE/remote release.

Keyless Entry (including remote hatch release). Amazing that the GTS never had it from the factory as other luxury cars did well before this - shows just how little attention Porsche were showing to updating the 928 towards the end of its life.

The remote is far more useful than the passenger side release add.. I think I have used the passenger side maybe 3 times... without the remote I might have used it just a few more times.

There are many threads on the KE topic.
