Ok so install done. I get a phone call at 3:30pm to say there is a problem - they can't get the park assist to work with the tow bar on. I tell them I'm taking the car at 4:30pm regardless.
So I show up and I'm told they are still working on it - they've done software updates (WTF) and some other troubleshooting. She goes into the workshop for an update. It's still not working and she offers me a courtesy car. I explain that I need the car to pick up my daughter and we agree to have it rectified another say.
She relays the message and comes back saying that now park assist isn't working at all. She goes on to say 'did you know that it's an ex police vehicle?' In a tone that anticipates me being shocked... 'yes I did' I reply and she goes on to say that because the police dont use tow bars, their program/chip is different and thats probably why park assist isn't working.
I almost lose my cool but remain calm and plainly remind them that it was working when I showed up this morning. I further add that when I purchased the vehicle, it wasn't working. But when I took it to YOUR COMPETITORS down the road for my 90k service, they fixed it and commented that the police simply unplugged the sensors at rear.
So we recap that I'll be back some other day to have it rectified and I pay whats due and am handed my keys.
I'm sitting in the car at the service driveway... I pop it into reverse and sure enoough the park assist error shows up. I out it in p and go into the vehicle config. In the park assist menu, I change the option from 'on' to 'on with tow bar' and again put the car in reverse...
... No error. No problems. It's working, seemingly fine. Tongue in, tongue out. The only thing I didn't test was with a trailer hooked up but I guess it's supposed to disable all rear sensors ?
PS: my car STINKS of the guy who worked on it!!!
