I also tow quite a heavy Swift caravan and the MB ML didn't know it was on the back....lets hope the V90 is the same. Cheers Roy

yeah, think the sales manager almost choked when he told me. he said he would investigate an aftermarket one - which i declined as i read the G01 X3 can be sensitive to wiring changes - needless to say i ditched the 2nd hand car i was going to purchase and managed to find a stock car with factory fitted towbar.
I've previously fitted a few towbars in A6, Golfs, Superbs, V70, XC90 and V90 - the volvos were usually a doddle as they were usually just plug and play even with aftermarket electrics and didn't need coding. The VAG cars usually required pins to be removed from plugs to loop in the wiring kits - took a while if you're new to it but it was possible, and then VCDS to code it in. The BMW talked about extra cables being ran from battery along with a whole host of other things plus coding so didn't want to try that on a 3 month old car.
Finding that a few things on the BMW are optional extras - speed limit showing in dash, speed camera warnings - all of which i was used to as standard in the volvo. Please to confirm that there are indicators on mine
