Coding & Adaptation
Some experts decided to add module to gateway (so it works) and code it in parktronic (so the customer sees the trailer on the display). That's hardly all the modifications that are required for full integration. [1]
Add module to Gateway
0x19 → InstallationList → add module 0x69 (Trailer Hitch module)
Now you can check if the trailer module is available
0x69 → Coding
Adjust tow bar module coding
0x69 → Coding
0x01 - Engine Control Module
Let rest of the car know about new feature. Starting with Engine Control Module.
Notice: actual Byte/Bit address depends on the engine that you have in your car
0x01 → LongCoding → Byte 5 → Bit 4 (Trailer Recognition installed) //TODO: other configs for other engines
0x03 - Brakes and Stability
Now ABS/ESP, since additional weight and mass balance will impact braking performance and stability control
0x03 → 1 → 7 → installed or 0x03 → 24 → 7
0x09 - Body Control Module
It controls mostly lights. I believe trailer will impact things like rear fog light, maybe indicators.
Notice: around 2016/17 BCM does not use LongCoding anymore. It will be filled with 00s.
0x09 → LongCoding → Byte 1 → Bit 1 (Trailer Hitch Control Module installed) 0x09 → Adaptation → Vernetzung → anhaengeranschlussgeraet → installed
0x10 / 0x76 - Parking Sensors
Parking sensors. This will tell the module that it should expect trailer behind the car - not an obstacle.
0x10 or 0x76 → LongCoding → Byte 3 → Bit 0-1 (Trailer Hitch installed - manually removable)
0x13 - ACC
Adaptive Cruise Control
0x13 → LongCoding → Control Module for Towing → installed
0x17 - Instrument Cluster
Instrument Cluster also needs to know about the trailer.
0x17 → LongCoding → TODOoo
0x3C - Side Assist / Blind Spot
Since you are dragging something behind your car, blind spot sensors will see it permanently. Let them know about it.
0x3C → Long Coding → TODOoo
0x6C - Rear View Camera
RVC High or AreaView 360 should start in the Trailer Mode if the trailer is connected.
0x6C → Long Coding → TODOoo
0x6D - Trunk Door
Let's let it know that there might be an obstacle behind the car
0x6D → Long Coding → Trailer → installed
0xA5 - Multifunctional Assisten Camera
Multifunction camera also needs to know about the tow bar and trailer. For one, the camera will be pointing slightly higher when trailer is connected. And if you have Traffic Sing Assist or Traffic Sign Recognition it will also show you trailer-related signs.
0xA5 → Long Coding → TODOoo
