I have the remote plug & a Redarc. Totally seperate porpoises.
I too have a Red Arc electric trailer brake controller & an in car LED adaptor module.
Both Excellent units.
Cheers
Fitted a Narva resistor ($13.00) to the r/h trailer turn signal tonight. Now our MY14 D4 recognises a trailer and the reversing beepers don't work in reverse and the trailer indicator on the dash lights up when the r/h indicator is used, though not on the l/h indicator, but I can live with this.

PS Fitting the brake controller tomorrow, will let you know how things go.
Fitted the Redarc Tow Pro today, took me a leisurely 5 hrs.
I fixed the control box on the side of the dash, lets see if I can attach a pic, just in from the light switch where I mounted the control knob.

All pretty straight forward thanks to the instructions here.
Connected it to the van and all the lights work.
Tomorrow I'll take it for a drive and calibrate the electric brakes.
Cheers Mossy
Oops, meant to post this on the Electric trailer brake thread.

cheers guys camper now works perfectly, get the parts from jaycar if ya can, it was about 1/3 of the price compared to super cheap.
G'day, just thought I'd point out that this continues to be an issue... even with brand new MY15 D4's....

My comment was not meant to be a reference to the safety of the car (though my understanding is that the anti-sway function will not work), but rather an alert that this "Behaviour" is still present in the latest generation. Given that this is not a new "Behaviour" I would have expected that a solution would be embedded in the car by now, rather than having to install a workaround later....
Software can be written to correct it.
My Touareg was the same....needed a pulse buster. It's a 2008 model. In about 2010 VW told me they did a software upgrade and this should fix it...and it did. I do need to have the parkers or normal lights on, and they said it was for safety.
Ford has fixed the Ranger issue, but think it needed a bit more than software. Did not take them long.
LR could fix it swiftly if they chose to.
