Always go for the genuine electronics and take it to dealer to get towing module enabled.
As for the nuts and bolts of fitting that’s normally straight forward a swan neck bar that doesn’t require a bumper cut is often easier. |

I don't think many on here would settle for the bypass relay. It's not just about the Volvo trailer light module it's about all the different software that gets loaded at that time - such as trailer assist on newer models and other things like disabling the rear flog light and parking sensors when a trailer is coupled....

the best way to add a cable in is via an 'add a fuse cable' search ebay, they are very cheap, they just plug into an existing fuse socket whilst also leaving space for the original fuse
