When volvo did my towbar electrics on my 2012 MY V70 3 years ago I had a choice of 7 or 13 pin so they definately were doing them no so long ago. Maybe newer car are 13 pin only as you can get adaptors to go to 7 pin for a few pounds.

The Volvo system uses specific hardware and software and has the following features:
- Bulb failure warning system extended to trailer (quite comprehensive on later models) - Fog light on car disabled when trailer attached (programmable) - Parking sensors disabled when trailer attached Some aftermarket kits can also do the above, but need software. And most importantly.... - Trailer stability assist added to the DTSC program https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIMxVzUnBSA Only the Volvo system does the above.

I am currently looking through the options with other vendors. They are offering Volvo wiring but there was no mention of updating software but will be something I will be asking. I'm waiting for Volvo garage to call me back with a price which Im sure will have a massive premium.
I trying to workout which is the best type of Tow bar for a XC60 R-Design. I have tried looking online but I'm struggling to see any that actually look decent. |
