Can I use self driving while using tow hitch

[Adean]

Is there a way I can use self driving while my Thule (luggage carrier) is hooked up in the tow hitch. Last time I used it, it wouldn’t let me do self driving and wondering if there is a way I can override this. 2023 model x

Have you tried manually turning off tow mode? We’ve hauled maybe 150 lbs on a cargo carrier with an AP1 Model X and outside of some USS alerts Autopilot worked fine. Now when towing more than an empty utility trailer, it won’t let you turn off tow mode.

If you dont have anything hooked up to the 7 pin plug it shouldnt turn on tow mode. If it does just turn it off and FSD should work.

7 pin plug, for lights? My Thule has lights on the back

I’m not sure how to manually turn off tow mode.

Next to the receiver is s port for a 7 pin adapter. Are you plugging in your Thule to this? If so tow mode will be on and you cant use FSD. I dont believe you can turn it off manually, but if you do your lights wont work.
