    Hi, I have just fitted a westfallia towbar and dedicated electrics I bought from pfjones to my 2008 Q7. Plugged in light board and all working fine.. as I was driving the car to local towbar specialist to get it programmed I noticed the brake guard and acc not available!! Notices. Got the car programmed using westfallia hand held computer all ok but still brake guard and acc problem on car ..
    is this common or have I done something wrong or disturbed something when fitting?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Hi, you shouldn't be getting any error messages after it has been coded. Nothing could have been disturbed really, the messages would be there because the BCM plugs have been unplugged. If you take it back to where it was coded and have them clear the faults first. All should be well but just check with a trailer board again.

    If you still have trouble, call us with your order details and ask for technical help 0161 886 5796

    Ok, job done.. checked all connections, fault codes deleted and code number had to be changed on ACC I think.
