Hi,
I purchased a new D5 HSE in May and as it did not have the factory installed tow package I had the dealer add it before i took delivery. The cost was around $2K but it did include the new bumper with the cut out.
My question is around the standard towing features. The Hitch Assist to help backup to the trailer and the trailer stabilization are shown as standard with the towing package but there is nothing ti indicate they are active on my vehicle. I should mention that I am aware of the Advanced Tow Package which lets you control the direction of the trailer from the off road controller - but this is an option and not installed.
The dealer insists that this is not available on my vehicle and the JLR corporate folks just keep referring me to the dealer. I have tried multiple dealerships without any resolution.
Does anybody know if this is fact true, and that adding a tow package at the dealership does not enable those standard towing functions? Or is it more of my thoughts that they just need to be enabled in the computer - which is exactly what they did when I had the package added to me 2010 LR4?
Thanks
