Enable Pilot Assist while towing? - tomasz - 08-09-2023
Hey all, I searched through the master config codes and didn’t see anything that applied to this.
I just had the tow compute module added with a stealth hitch on my ‘18 XC60 for a bike rack that has lights. When plugging in the lights, the car thinks there’s a trailer attached and disables BLIS and Pilot Assist. Is there an option to have the lights work without disabling Pilot Assist?
Thanks!

I discovered that to detect a trailer it senses load on several of the lighting circuits. Connecting just one won't work.
LED need a load resister to be detected. I only needed a feed for the licence plate light for a tyre carrier so bypassed the trailer module completely.
There is a setting to disable trailer assist - you could trail this and see if stability control software is what disables the other systems.
