Has anyone set this up? used it?

'Obsessed Garage' on youtube (he is a forum member too) made a video detailing setup and use of the trailer assist feature. Its a great youtube channel.

The directions for set up are pretty straight forward. Once you have the trailer set up it remembers it, you can load a few different trailers

Not really. Just follow the instructions and it will be straightforward. Make sure to put that sticker where it's clearly visible to the rear camera. There are spare stickers in the packet too.

I set mine up in about 15 minutes and it works great.

It is not complicated.

You just need a tape measure. You will be measuring trailer length, width, distance from camera to sticker and distance from ball hitch to sticker.



Just make sure you are parked on a level surface AND FYI they fail to mention that you will be driving several feet forward and backward to calibrate it... I didn't have enough space to drive forward and backward on my first calibration attempt and had to restart.

Also....you need the be on a smooth road surface to calibrate, plus have a fair amount of distance to drive straight to calibrate. Try a flat, empty parking lot.

I don't particularly care for it myself. Glad to hear that others like it.

Set up is straight forward, no pun intended. I messed with it, it’s gee whiz. If you are comfortable backing trailers you probably won’t use it much though, it’s faster to manually do it than turning a knob IMO.
