Terramar Towbar

[nk1]

Hi,
I have ordered a new Terramar VZ 200kw car. Coming in 2 weeks.
I want to fit a towbar.
I have seen that the fixed one does away with the smart opening boot, so I want detachable.

However I am confused on which type electrics to go with?
Seen info on multiplex or non-mult ssystems, then others with by-pass boxes.... confused which I need.

Car was not ordered with any towbar prep options...

So any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Buy a genuine towbar. Expensive but 0 hassle, 2 year manufacturer warranty and warranty safe. It gets added to the build data of the vehicle making it a permanent trouble free installation.

Third party electrics cannot be integrated with the car.
Your ADAS will stop working
Your ESC/ABS won’t work correctly
The type approval will be invalidated
The warranty will be invalidated

“Read only” kits can still cause the above issues, and it’s likely your insurance wouldn’t pay out in the case of an accident.

Awesome info.

Aftermarket towbar companies should be heavily regulated considering all the systems on a vehicle that towing affects, and fitting one that the vehicle doesn't know is there is a terrible idea.

Their towbars have all the necessary legal approvals. It's the wiring/control modules & integration that cause the issues
