Can I move the target zone for advanced tow assist
Hi there I recently bought a 2017 Discovery that I am towing a 1977 Airstream with. The vehicle has advanced tow assist which requires using the three dot target.
my problem is that the location in the camera field that I have to place the target ends up on the propane tanks on the trailer yolk. The front of the tanks is less than a meter from the tow vehicle bumper and doesn’t register. If I remove the tanks and put the target on my trailer, calibration works and I can use tow assist.
I am not going to take my propane tanks off every time I back up so I was wondering if there are any work arounds.

I towed an Airstream 25ft also - I gave up trying to find a workaround for the target thing - it's kinda lame that you can't adjust the target area or distance but I guess the geometry calculations are set. I even tried fooling it with a slight wide-angle lens over the camera but it still would not register. I did install a WiFi camera on the back of the Airstream though which helps. As does the ability to tune out any directions from "helpers" while backing up so you can focus on the job ...
