Towbar for E70 X5

Recommended Posts

Hi mate, I recently fitted an aftermarket towbar to an E70 X5.

If you manage to source one, factor in the wiring side of things.

I used this wee module which splices into your existing wiring loom: https://anythingelectronic.co.nz/aenz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_85&products_id=455

 

No errors on the car. Lights, electric brakes, all the basics work like magic.

Agreed re the wiring cost. I had a tow bar fitting place quote me $400 for an installed wiring kit (that's over and above the actual tow bar cost) The were proposing to use one of these:

i ended up sourcing one, and did a DIY. Easy to fit and worked perfectly on an LCI e60 with LED tail lights. Also used another one successfully on an LED tail light Audi.
