    Does anything need to be changed software side to enable a DIY added OEM trailer wiring module for Model 3?

    I think my first few drives will be a little anxious to LOL! Thanks again though mate, you've really been a great help, it's greatly appreciated! Have fun during the half term holiday's. It's a shame the weather's not been better (standard half term weather), my kids are climbing the walls...

    I finally got round to fitting the tow hitch today, so a big thank you to everyone that chipped in, especially @doats1 I simply couldn't have done it without you. The hardware fitting process took around 1 hr 30 mins (I was genuinely surprised how quickly it went on) and the toolbox session was...

    The tow hitch receiver bracket has finally arrived from Poland, albeit almost a week late due to customs delays. So, hopefully I'll be fitting it this weekend. @doats1 , when you removed the rear crash beam and replaced it with the tow hitch receiver bracket, did you fit nylon washers between it...

    The receiver should be arriving Wednesday if all goes well, so fingers crossed I'll be able to fit it on the weekend. Is the cable that supplies power / signals from the car to the trailer hitch ECU already in place and ready to plug into the ECU, I just thought I'd double check before removing...

    @doats1 , I now have a receiver en route (expected Wed next week) and I'm collecting all of the Misc parts from Tesla tomorrow. I've been watching a few tutorials to get a feel for the job, but they've all been using aftermarket tow hitches which is not ideal. I have a few Q's for you if that's...

    Does anything need to be changed software side to enable a DIY added OEM trailer wiring module for Model 3?

    So........I requested the tow hitch parts from Tesla (specifying parts only, no fitting / labour) and have received a message today to schedule a service appointment. Is this correct? Do I scedule a service appoinment to collect parts or do they still think that fitting / labour is required?

    Thank you very much for taking the time to list these for me, it's greatly appreciated. I'll look into this a bit deeper on the weekend when I have a bit more time. I will attempt to source all of the parts and fit, and get back in touch to pick your brains about enabling "Trailer Mode" via...

    Does anything need to be changed software side to enable a DIY added OEM trailer wiring module for Model 3?

    I really appreciate this @doats1 , thanks a lot 👍. I jumped ship from BMW and did a fair bit of coding with ISTA (BMW proprietary software), so I think that I should be ok with Toolbox. If it's not too much to ask, please would you mind providing a parts list / numbers for the OEM Tesla parts...

    Does anything need to be changed software side to enable a DIY added OEM trailer wiring module for Model 3?

    Good morning all! I've just bought a M3LR and would really like to fit a tow bar. I've done enough research to know the legalities behind it, so I'd just like to discuss the parts and fitting aspects. @doats1 you seem to have exactly what I'd like! When you said that you sourced the parts for...
