Retor-fit tow electronics for D4 ?

I've done a search and can't find anything - is it as easy to retro-fit the towing gubbins in the D4 as it is in the D3...?

I took a dealer option tow pack with the D3 so didn;t have to do this myself. But I really only need the tow bar now for the MaxxRaxx bike carrier. And seeing as I have a spare tow bar I am thinking that I wouldn't need to shell out another 600+ euro...

All I need is to have the plug for the rear light board.
 The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Club "yes, I too have had the EGR's replaced..."
Club "yes, I too have had the compressor replaced..."
Club "yes, I too once had the car at the dealer for a couple of weeks nearly 4 weeks over 4 weeks...5 weeks"
Club "yes, I too have had EPB failure..."
Club "yes, I too get mysterious bings and bongs..."

Very easy to fit ... Did mine on Saturday .. Took about 1/2 hour

I only fitted the black plug ... Didn't bother with the White as I don't use it .

Got them brand new on eBay for £40 Very Happy Bargain

I suppose I should have just PM'd you my list of "how easy is it" questions seeing as you have already ripped your D4 apart Laughing

Are they the same block connectors for the d4 as d3?

Connectors are the same but the wiring is different and NOT interchangeable between the D3 and D4.
