Tow bar went on easily and instructions were easy to follow. Best thing I did was purchase dedicated Mercedes wiring as this went very well. All in all took me 3 hours to fit which I thought wasn't too bad. Would definitely recommend. Thanks. Tony from Morecambe.

Quality tow bar, not cheap chinese steel like some on the market, but as you would expect from German engineering . Delivered within a working day. Bought the vehicle specific wiring kit, being a qualified auto electrician I found this route to be seemless, but anyone with technical ability should find this very easy, much better than the basic “by pass” relay system. No breaking into each wire. It did cost me £98 to have it coded to the “can bus” system as I don’t have the equipment for this. It’s worth the money to have it registered with the manufacturer so that any future software updates include the tow bar.
