It's not the vehicle but the trailer. Likely cheap LED lights without a dropper resistor.
I tend to just add a separate dropper resistor into the trailer harness to sort out the cheap LED lights I ... |

Fortunately it does have a Tyco MX series connector that I can repin.
Suffice to say, it took a little time to find the link between the side lights and the switch not working |

Sooooo, old harness is definitely different to new one.
Pre-facelift harness in a post-facelift car works fine, when the side lights are not on.
When the side lights are on, the boot release b ... |

Finally changed my boot switch, as it has been slowly getting worse.
I didn't realise there are different part numbers for pre and post-facelift.
Fitted an older one to a newer car. Seems to hav ... |

Fantastic piece of work.
I've always been of the view that the Gen2.1 IAM could offer a lot more. This proves it! |

That looks very cool.
What sort of price range you thinking all up? Would prefer something like this over the Xtrons, but I think the price tag would be the decider.
Pi plus screen is around £1 ... |

I've had dual view working in the FL2. Problems are two fold;
1) I used a donor from an L405, so 8" instead of 7", so it physically does not fit.
2) The IAM needs to receive in the CCF t ... |

I'm super interested!
And have made a little progress on CAN decoding if you need anything? Think you have my email Addy.
EDIT - Email inbound |

Unfortunately, I've never even got the module plugged in. Far to busy with paid work to tinker these days  |

@Vanny,
Just wondering if you ever pulled any of your car modules apart to see what CAN Tranceiver chip JLR are using ?
I assume they are an optically decoupled type ?
There isn't a standard t ... |
