Curious what reverse sensors do on each setting and whether you still get 6 flashes or only 3 flashes on momentary push of indicator stalk after the module removal?
Mine gets 3 flashes on the stalk with module removed. We've got a VF2 SV6 ute with a tow bar and module and that does 3 flashes also.

The hole in the bumper is painful on a ute tow bar removal, I used the surround and bent up a bit of alloy and painted it as an interim fix.

6 flashes only happens when it detects a harness connected

It all seems a little odd that programming is required when fitting a bar but no adverse consequences occur when removing the bar module...

If such is the case, as it seems, the module itself should have been standardised and then it’s simply a plug and play proposition with no programming required... It’s almost as if the programming is a forced step to push people to the dealer to get their accessories installed :mad:

Glad it’s an easier to remove than install though :D

Nicely done. I’d be happy with that as a permanent fix :cool:
