Good Day

I have a question, which might sound strange.

I use to have a XC60 2010 with a trailer hitch. Before i sold it we removed the hitch and module as well as the wiring harness.

We have refitted it all to the new XC60 2016, but for obvious reasons the module needs to be programmed onto the ECU.

My question is, (and this is confusing) according to the service Center, the trailer module can only be programmed once.

I can't see that Volvo would create such a limitation on equipment.

Any input is in this regard would be appreciated.

 

That is true with many control units in your Volvo. Once "coded" to a VIN - That value can't be changed and that part will only work in that car. Can't speak with certainty on a trailer module for I have never activated one with a download. (programmed)

There are aftermarket companies that can "reprogram" used modules for different cars - but the Volvo dealership does not have that capability. Not sure who in your part of the world does that but a trusted source for me is xemodex.com.
