United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Fuji White
Tow Bar

Hi Guys,

I am thinking of fitting the tow bar electrics to my 2012 RRS. I am an electrical engineer so wiring is no issue.
Quick questions:

Looking at the kit I found online: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Towbar-wiring-ki...Sw5VFWLv2Z

It should be just plug and play?

It seems to suggest the car needs coding too? If its not coded, is it just the dash warnings that come on or other issues?

Not totally sure but I think it has something to do with reverse/parking sensors being disabled when towing as well.

Cheers

Pre-facelift vehicles are as above, but facelift models actually need programming to work. Thumbs Up Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

My approach would be to buy a genuine LR one from Dan at Duckworths and not some cheap and nasty imitation
Fit it yourself then get someone to hook it up to a diagnostic and tell the car its fitted.....Bodsy might be able to do that. He's in Telford. Visitor from fullfatrr.com

I am looking for something that's quick and simple as it will only be used once then not used by me again.
