official electrics v universal
Hi - I paid extra for official Volvo electrics because I was told by the fitter that the car 'would know it was there'...Is there any way I can check? Shoud it now be seen somewhere on the screen under 'my car'? Thanks.

You have made the right choice.
The fitter was correct but there is no way to tell unless something goes wrong. Try taking a bulb out on the trailer or caravan and the Volvo system will tell which one you have removed. It also adapts the stability control to make sure the trailer does not start to sway, switches off the rear fogs and the parking sensors when the trailer is at.

Means the sensors are too sensitive and detecting the towball. Is it detachable?
Otherwise agree with the above, dedicated wiring is always the best option. Suggest check as above with taking out a trailer bulb. |
