I have also had problems in the past with towing electrics fitted by car dealers so now make a point of giving them the specification I expect them to use.
When I went back I gave them a copy of the Alko instructions with wiring diagram and dealer said he would check with Volvo tech dept and they told me tech dept had told them not to fit the live connection due to the low battery voltage issues they were having.
My son had the same issue with his new Discovery towing electrics but they connected pin 9 up when he took it back. But Volvo did not want to do it and said they could not reccommend it.
I will take this back up with my service manager.
