How to tell if wired for towing

How can I tell if my car has the appropriate wiring loom in place for towing?

The car is MY14 D4 HSE

Thanks

the wiring is all in place to the boot behind the panel on N/S you need to connect into the plugs behind the panel down to your socket, (all the holes are there with grommets in place) and enable towbar in the settings, LR dedicated kit is the one I used on mine and had no trouble, changed from the 2 x7 pin sockets to the 13 pin one recently. I took the bumper off and N/S rear light gives good access.

Or pop the panel off in the middle of the rear bumper and see if you have the 7 Pin or 13 Pin socket fitted.

Or plug a tow light circuit in, if you do have the socket as above.
