 Been told that the newer vehicles require the led lights to have a built in resistor or they will not work. ? Your experience seems to prove it's true. Something to be aware of.

 CANBUS can be problematic with any modern cars.

I ended up doing my 200 myself as I didnt like the answers I was getting from both Toyota dealer and auto sparkies I spoke to about probably the most common towing vehicle in Australia that pulls over 2 tonne.

One thing on 200's and others (from memory)-if you tap the brake signal from the brake light rather than the pedal switch, manual braking on the controller DOESNT disengage cruise or activate the brakelights.
