Tha k you Russ for the update, info & link. And thank you MM for reiterating that the small current draw from LED light will trigger the "Full charge".
Unfortunately I'm going to pass for now. I notice this item is frequently returned for compatibility issues, primarily hyperflash & turn signal error msgs. That's what I experienced with the other unit I tried, and I could not find a way to overcome with FORScan. I was able to stop hyperflash but not the persistent error msgs, and loss of reverse gear lane markings & warnings. I was hoping to force "charging tricks" discovered by Mavster Mechanic w/o using lights. So, back to using lights, which absolutely works.

Sorry to hear. I have had this installed for a couple of months with NO issues.

Russ I'm guessing it's a 2026 vs 2025 model difference. I was so hoping to use a plug in device for additional rear illumination & full 12v battery charging w/o side affects. I'm not giving up but now have no workaround. Just the loss of Reverse backup assist lines would be a no-go for my wife. And, if wife not happy, we all know. Lol. Good luck. Oh, do you really have an option in trailer setup for height? 25MY doesn't.
