As most have their trailer connected and being sensed correctly, the issue is moot anyhow.

Thanks for the vid. It makes sense that Sway Assist works without the trailer electrics being connected when you think about it. Picture a "worst case" scenario where the trailer starts swaying and the plug becomes disconnected (I dunno, perhaps hitting something on the road or a pothole or whatever). In this case, sway assist will still happily work. Requiring the plug to remain inserted creates a single point of failure.
Clever little D4!

My van has er, one of them. capable of operating any or all 4 van brakes, And its powered by the vans batts so totally separate from any car connection,
so if the van pops off the hitch, by rights it should just pull up in a straight line...
It also has this really stressful habit of dabbing brakes for no apparent reason.
It feels just like a total dead engine for half a second.
