Setting up MY16.5 SDV6SE Questions

I've ordered a couple of those white plugs (1 spare) from the site you recommended, Graeme. Thanks.

Nod, I need a trigger wire in the 12 pin for the Redarc Manager 30 charger system that is now standard (but not the breakaway wire, as you wrote). I'll run one from the rear power outlet to do that (unless there is one already in either of the existing trailer sockets). It needs to be ignition switched.

I'm about half way through the install thread, and have come to the conclusion that I need at least 1 resistor in an indicator circuit (preferably both sides) to activate the trailer functions on the Disco. I also need a diode to prevent backfeed in the brake controller circuit. Some excellent information here.

Meanwhile, more phone calls tomorrow to Redarc and Al-Ko.

Your spare one will come in handy for pluging a battery charger in rather than opening the bonnet

I got this installed in the car (I can tow different trailers for work) with a little switch next to the 12v socket to turn it on or off.
Or if you've only go the 1 trailer you tow, then just install it on the drawbar.

Right got it ... I have the lithium's so didn't need it.

Pin 6 of the white plug is switched (15 Amps).

Also bear in mind that the pin out diagram for the 2 sockets which has been published on the forum does not directly reflect the ones on the back of your D4. These will be about 90 degrees offset to the diagram.

Thanks Laughto. I always check pinouts with a multimeter, but that would've been confusing

Nod, I'm getting 330A Lithiums as well. Damn CPAP machines!!

You wouldn't by any chance have a link to this plug on ebay? I have tried but am obviously looking for the wrong thing.
Thanks

Only the apparent position - the numbered positions are correct.

So just turn your head to the side - it'll all make sense
