Skodas and tow bars

[Smart1]

Skoda Aus MkIII towbars are available. They come from Prof Svar s.r.o. out of Czech Republic with OZ certification, complete with Euro quick release phallic ball. The removable ball even fits into the spare wheel area inside the foam tool carrier section. Wiring socket folds up when not in use too.

And the 64,000 dollar question is.....hopefully not that expensive?

Quick questions on tow bars mine is factory fit and has a 13 pin connector? I'm trying to find an adaptor to a 7 pin flatbar, need to sort it before next weekend would be great if someone could point me in the right direction. Super cheap etc gave me a quizical look when I went in and asked.

Cheers,
Andrew

For those wondering, the towbar is around the $1500 mark. Not the cheapest bar in the world by any means, but a lot easier to insert and remove then the Best Bars versions that they used to fit.

The wiring socket is the 13 pin version, yes, but comes with the 13-7 pin flat connector. According to my invoice it is Skoda #SKH13R7FA and $94.22 + GST.

Here are some pics.


Everything appears to work properly, reversing sensors disable, trailer appears in display, trailer indicator lights appear in display, fog lights disable.

I love the fact its very well integrated (and can store the bar in the car itself).....but man that looks very phallic......

The light connection hangs very low below the car and on the RS I reckon you'd damage that fairly easily going in and out of steep driveways etc.
