towbar pre-installation question

[giosoom]

Hi all! I'm new here and would like to ask for some advice if at all possible please - apologies if this was asked already but I didn't find anything close..
Just ordered a formentor plugin 245hp (can't wait until it gets here) .. Toying with the idea of fitting a towbar in case I may conjure up some reason in the future to require one...
If I ask the dealer to add the pre-installation wiring, would that include wiring to the boot button for some future possible towbar release?

I dont think you'll get the button in the boot as from what i know this only comes with the 'swing down' factory fitted tow bar. I may be wrong though.

Pre installation just means it's got the necessary wiring built in.
Mine was pre installed (I believe they all were initially if not now) and all formentors have the cut out under the bumper to allow for fitment.

I had a aftermarket detachable towbar with 13 pin electrics installed.It doesn't get the swing down type with a button in the boot but it takes about 10 seconds to take it off/put it back on.

Cost £600 fully fitted so half the cost of what cupra charge.

It's invisible once detached.

Hi. I have the pre-installation option on mine and now I'm rather confused on what I got with that..
I found on cupra official website the folding electric tow bar (reference 575092160C) and they say all the components needed for cars that don't have the pre-installation option and then the price around 630 EUR... but is that the full price for all components? Or how much should I have to pay now for the tow bar if I already have the pre-installation option?
