    Exclamation

    Can anyone tell me if the issue has been resolved on the MY14 model. Mate picked his up the other day, was told by the auto elec that wired for the caravan that it was no longer an issue and that a straight forward wiring was all that was now required for his full LED caravan. He does not have a little "trailer attached" light blinking with the van attached. So, either he has no need for an adapter as the problem is now non-existent and the "trailer attached" blinker isn't there/no longer flashes to indicate recognition or he has been given a bum steer and the car is not recognising his van.

    Over the weekend I am going to attach the van with my LD unit and see if it makes any difference.

    A bit urgent as he towed Geelong to Morwell possibly without the car trailer assist and didn't know.

    Sneigy, I am tickled pink that you replied so quickly. That's what I thought but easiest way to prove it is by connecting my adapter and flicking on the indicators.

    Incidentally, just what is he missing out on by not having the van recognised bearing in mind that I am gunna have to show him this post tomorrow. His van is fitted with ESC.

    The vehicle's "Trailer Stability Assist" will not be working at its proper threshold & will be working as an "Unhooked" vehicle.

    The park sensors will annoy him every time he selects reverse.

    His indicators will not flash in unison with the pretty trailer icon

    Cheers

    Not sure about newer models, but from what you say, there may also be an effect to the feature that disables automatic height adjustment when selecting certain traction options. This wont work if its doesn't sense a trailer.

    Correct. Locks you out of Automatic height adjustment in Terrain Response Mode.

    As an owner of a MY14 D4 I can confirm what Sniegy says.

    I has to get the LED module installed to get the green trailer icon blinking.

    I got the one installed into the car which can be turned off/on.

    Ta guys. He is now convinced. Apparently his sparky was aware of the issues for older models but believed (incorrectly) that it was not an issue with the new ones. I doubt the traction options will be an issue for him with the size/type of van he has though. Pretty much good road based only

    Can I ask why you would need to turn it off?

    thanks, Ian.
