Bypass Required
Many modern vehicles require a bypass relay for the towbar electrics to work correctly. If your vehicle requires this relay then damage can occur to the cars electrics if one isn't fitted.
Our data is collected from the tow bar and tow bar wiring manufacturers with regards to whether your vehicle needs a bypass relay.

Pretty straight forward installation, towbar fabrication quality is good and paint finish seems reasonable. Accurately built to fit well to the car. Once fitted you can barely see the bar assembly when the ball is detached but you can swing the electrics into place and fit the ball easily in under a minute.
The only problem was one of the NS M12 chassis bolts was the wrong thread pitch, (supplied was M12x1.25 but the captive bokt in the chassis is M12x1.75) fortunately I had one in my shed - not sure if my car was an oddball or if the kit needs to have an alternate fixture supplied. Hence only 4 stars.... Overall very pleased.
