    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Corris Grey

    Swift conqueror 2018 lights

    Picking up a MY19 HSE Lux in a couple of weeks brochure says the D5 doesn't like trailer led lights.
    I had a relay fitted to the van to get over problems with D4. Does anyone know if this compatable with the D5 or do I need to get it changed?

    Is it this unit you had fitted?

    They do make variants for some vehicles. Maybe best to contact them as they do all the electrical systems for swift group and coachman vans. Perhaps others too.

    My swift caravan with led lights actually worked ok on my D5 without the interface but the dash board tell tale was unreliable (only for the right indicator) due to the very low current drawn by the LEDs so I fitted one of these units in any case.

    I would check the lights first before you do anything. A relay as I recall was only required for the D3 to resolve "flickering" of LED indicator lights. The D4 didn't require a relay but still needed a resistor wired to the indicators to emulate a bulb so the car would recognise a trailer attached. MY17 D5 apparently still didn't recognise a trailer with LED lights but my (and many others) MY18 recognises any trailer with LED lights without modifications - ie inside you'll see the green trailer light come on when you use the turn signals.
    I'd be surprised if your MY19 required any modification.

    Thanks for the replies guys.
    D4 only need the mood to enable the telltale on the dash, so I'll wait and see.
