Here are some photos of Conal's Witter detachable towbar
Thanks for putting the photos on Peter, saves me sending them out lots of times!
You'll notice the electrics are not fitted here. Car was pre wired but the lead the dealer gave me did not fit the module in the boot....apparently there was a change part way through the MY. I have the, hopefully, correct lead now, due to be fitted next week.

Finally got my tow bar socket wired up and there is good news!
As previously reported by other forum members the £75 lead supplied by Seat would only run the trailer lights and would not power a caravan fridge or charge the battery. If you wanted these functions then you would need to fit supplementary wiring. This was the case with the first lead I was given by my dealer.
When I took the replacement lead to the fitter he found that everything was wired up to provide power to the battery and the fridge. It was only a matter of plug into the pre fitted module in the boot, fit the earth and everything was up and running. No coding was required.
Have just connected the car and caravan together for the first time, perfect! Fridge running, battery being charged and all lights working. Suitable warning light on the dash for the indicators, rear sensors automatically mute, the only thing I don't know about is the stop start function as I only had the engine ticking over for a minute or two and didn't drive anywhere.
Will add the part numbers when I get a minute.
Part numbers : lead one, 5F0 055 204 B
lead two, 5F0 055204 D My car was registered 15/10/2014
I believe that the very latest lead is the same part number but with an 'F' suffix.
