I found an envelope with this catalogue in it last night
It made interesting reading, as I-W had started going to pre-wired looms (& specific plugs into light-units)
There are also various trailer model brochures too

I saw these in a caravan magazine
They're an alternative to the TABs, etc...

I think my Kodiaq would perform equally well

I saw this last night, on a programme about very posh/large RVs

What a horrible thing

One of my old friends has this on her Kodiaq, but I've never seen it in action till now
Obviously, partly through the fitting, it seems that all the solenoid does is unlock it, 'you' still have to move it

Mine's a detachable gooseneck, tidier perhaps, but compared to a standard 'two-bolt flange' it limits the range of bike-carriers
(to my mind anyway)

I wonder if this is what I can hear becoming operable, when I insert the 13-pin plug into the socket
It almost sounds like a solenoid actuating

At the bottom, in the small print, it states that it's a standard fitment, below the 'Fact-File'

You should have an LED on the A-frame that shows the ATC status, as well as the initiation ‘whirr’.

I presume that depends on how far through the installation it is, as my Kodiaqs manual does mention LED indication

 

[figbat]

No, there should be an LED on the caravan A-frame to show ATC status. It shows either red (bad) or green (good).

I’ll have have a good look at the manual, but it’s in the BWSOW, & it’s in a compound

Erm.............

I was out in mine over the weekend. This is the ATC LED. On my Bailey it’s on the plastic shroud that covers the A-frame.

@figbat

I'm going to drag it out tomorrow, I can't say I've seen one
I may be wrong about the noise
I'll try to record it (if we can add videos onto here?
