Americas Tow Package install - Software Update

[ethree]

Can you elaborate on the "Speed clicker fixed" statement? Did the update permanently disable it?

Approaching 1k miles. I thought that once you shut that off it was off. After a few restarts, it reset back to going off, clicking away when I violate the law! Here’s the truly sad part—I actually am beginning to embrace the damn thing.

That is correct. At least that is my experience
With the latest update.

So let's hear the details how to "incorrectly install" an update. Sounds like the fix we all want.

Please! I need that “incorrectly install” asap

I got my tow hitch installed this week. The software update that came with it was just an update for the tow hitch, nothing else, and I was told there is no other software update at this time.

Just to understand,
You cannot install a receiver hitch privately without a software upgrade performed by a dealer at this time?

If you buy the hitch itself (the hardware) you can absolutely install it yourself. The software update is for the trailer module (the OEM module that handles the electronics for the trailer).

Correct.

that confuses things more.

let me try again.

What purpose does the dealer reprogramming serve?

It is made to sound like you cannot just splice in a 4 flat connector (NA units) and have lights for your Jetski trailer.

The initial programming had an issue with the configuration of trailer outputs on the 7 pin connector.

Those vehicles that did not order the factory hitch option do not have that control module
