Superb III - towbar

[dec76]

@Dec76 - can I double check?
If you fit the trailer at the back, when you reverse it, is/are the sensors beeping all the times?
Thanks

Hi Bego9. No the sensors disengage and a trailer symbol pops Jb on the Columbus with the front sensors and camera still operational.
All coded to work as it should. It also flashes on the instruments to let you know that the indicators on the trailer are working as per the new euro legislation.

Another question please - are the new cars equipped to deal with trailers running led lights? I got sick of the bulb out warnings on my Octavia, so it was a nuisance having to put resistors on the trailer wiring.

My car arrives in Melbourne in a week and a half so thinking I might hold out to see what becomes available after market.

No mate sorry. Need to run Led box. This make all work proper. Better than resistors too

Thanks for all the replies.

Ended up ordering the 206 last week, should arrive in October, so taking my time to decide on the towbar. My options are:
1. Dealer fitted - ~$1750
2. eurotowbars - $1350 (includes all electrics and recoding)
3. etowbars - $1093 (DIY fitting, includes electric kit. would have to get recoding done somewhere)

From what I've been able to find out the towbar is exactly the same, so I'll likely go with eurotowbars as people seem to have a good opinion of their work.
They also said the bumper cutout is done in the factory, and all cars coming in to Australia have the cutout regardless of whether a towbar is fitted or not - can anyone confirm this? For some reason I don't like the idea of someone cutting in to my shiny new car with a hacksaw - silly I know

Anyone aware of any other towbar options that they'd recommend?

Cheers,
Moose

The towbar cutout was inconsistent across the cars I viewed back in April. One wagon (162) had it but the other (206) did not. The sedan I looked at did.

@moosemac. Do you have the picture of the towbar looks like with eurotowbar? I sent email to see the picture of his towbar fit for 2016 Superb but he never reply to my email.

Hey again. Cutout wasn't on mine and the ones that I have seen them on are for swing away factory bars which are elongated to theright
