Can I turn off Parking Warning Sensors w/ IID Tool?

[Lgibson]

I'm confused. Shouldn't the rear parking aid switch off when our trailer is hitched up and plugged into the 7-pin socket?

I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) that the dealer needs to program it that way after the towing electrics kit is installed.

Hope I can do it with IIDTool. I thought someone also said the Tow Package included the proper coding. In our second week of ownership now and time to begin learning IID. (I am fairly good with VCDS after 9 years). Just wondering...should I just do email with GAP or post here for wisdom?

Yes

Your right

Also yes IIDTool can do that

IDTool Menu->Car Config->BCM->

- Tow bar -> Yes
- Trailer module -> select the correct one
- Trailer stability assist -> Yes (will only work if surround cam are fitted)
- Trailer towing ball -> Fitted

Wow, the number of trailer modules choices is astounding. It was on 13 position (whatever that is) but 7-pin USA seems correct so that was the only change. As I was poking around there were several "undefined" settings like driver and passenger seats. Had to look on our window sticker to find we have 8 position. And the three faults displayed on my initial scan just disappeared. (There was one B102B-87 about a passive key and two U0102-00 where it could not find the transfer case I don't have). A really great tool has already paid for itself!

Just added

We just finished modifying firmware to add this feature to LR4 2014 and 2015.

We've sent you an email with instructions which explain how to proceed.

Until the next release, if anyone needs this feature, just contact us directly

Ashley. I have a 2014 LR4. I was able to disable all the parking sensors but not only the rear ones. Blind Spot sensors still work as do the cross-traffic warnings. It works great for me as I often use a trailer hitch bike rack. Obviously, I no longer have parking sensors which has not been an issue for me.
