Hey, trout, 'ol buddy. Chill a bit. So far, your obvious impatience with folks isn't directed at me. But sooner or later, it could and likely will be. Before posting, I look in the manual and sometimes don't find some info even though it's there. It may well be that others have the same problem. The index isn't very good in my opinion and I don't yet have the e-manual with, presumably, a search feature that will make things easier and yield better results.
Beyond that, sure, folks should read the manual. But they really can't be expected to study it as though it will be on the big final exam in the morning. If you don't want to waste your time answering people who ask questions here because the information is in the manual, then don't. Better yet, don't even waste the time it takes to be snarky to them.
All that said, I can't find in the manual mention one way or the other whether plugging in the trailer is supposed to disable the rear proximity sensor. Some say it is. Troutspinner says it's not. If it's in the manual, it would be appreciated if someone would post the page it's on.
Has anyone out there plugged in either a 4-pin or 7-pin connector and had the rear proximity sensor automatically disable? Or, conversely, who's plugged in their trailer and the prox sensor failed to deactivate? I guess it's a kind of poll. I'll start: 7-pin connector. Proximity sensor doesn't automatically disable.
