Installing towbar electrics.

My G4 came without a towbar and electrics. I found a probably not used towbar (goose neck) and bought also the electrics for it. It should be easy to connect up but do you need to get software loaded or will it work straight?

What I understood that it should work but that the car can change height with a trailler behind it if you push the button. Is this correct?

Do a bit of a search and you will find info like this:

If you are in low ratio and select a terrain response programme, the car may automatically change height (Rock crawl for instance) When towpack enabled by dealer then this auto height change is disabled. That's all

As far as fitting goes, two screws to remove near side rear light cluster. Thread short part of loom through from pre-cut hole and connect to loom connectors inside rear pocket. Then under car, lower spare, put sockets into pre-cut holes into chassis. Feed over harmonic damper (5 mins max of faffing about) then connect to first half of loom. tuck connectors behind gap in bumper, refit light, put spare back up. JD. 35 mins

Auto height change doesn't happen from terrain response settings if you are in high box anyway Thumbs Up
