Enjoy some light reading. @stooge 's post and onwards

After screwing around with it i found... It will perform all the diagnostic and reset functions without the need for a subscription via gds2. It works with a tds subscription and works with sps as a passthru tool to program/configure modules, add keys, update firmware etc. I updated my mylink...

Trailer Lamp Control Modul Programming Setup
2022 update
Holden quoted $440 and a 2 week wait!

PS: welcome to the forum.

that is extortion, $440 for 20 minutes work.
even if they did not have a multivin programming sub and they had to purchase a single vin sub @ $55 charging someone $440 for that is rude.

charging someone $440 for that is rude.

Ride Rude doesn’t really begin to describe charging $440 for less than 15 minutes work. To put that in context, that‘s the equivalent of $1760/hr Holden just aren’t worth $1760/hr no matter what they think

Even if it‘s a long learning curve, buying a VXDiag Nano for $200 and a subscription (if needed) for $55 makes this DIY calibration well worth it

( Edited to fix autocorrect… seems my iPad doesn‘t like rude being typed )

It’s almost like they wish Holden owners would just go away

Mate before you go anywhere regarding the programming connect the trailer to your vehicle and plug it in and check if it works as is. Mine did.

3. I was also told by the service dept. I'd need to spend about $180 getting the car programmed. I can attest to the bullshit of this on my car - it recognised the trailer once it was plugged in, changes the trans shifting pattern, doesn't alarm the sensors etc, and changes the blinkers from 3 to 6 flashes when you 'bump' the stick. Not sure everyone has this outcome.
