Volkswagen T-Roc 2018 Onwards Towbar electric kits

We recommend that all tow bars fitted to a Volkswagen T-Roc 2018 Onwards are fitted with a dedicated electrics kit, this not only helps to ensure all modern features, such as trailer stability, parking sensors function correctly, but also ensures that the vehicles manufacturer’s warranty is not invalidated. A quick look at Volkswagen's warranty page confirms that T-Rocs's produced between 2018 onwards will have a manufacturers warranty active,

• A 2-year unlimited mileage manufacturers warranty.
• A further 1 year / 60,000 miles (whichever is soonest) warranty.

This means you're covered for a total of 3 years or up to 60,000 miles, whichever comes first Used cars purchased from Volkswagen come with 12 months warranty. Volkswagen Warranty information We do of course offer universal electrics kits for the Volkswagen T-Roc 2018 towbars, as stated these will invalidate any manufacturer warranty you may have.

Bypass Relays

All Volkswagen T-Roc 2018 Onwards tow bars fits will require a bypass relay, if universal electrics are fitted, this is to ensure that the kit does not present faults on the dashboard. A bypass relay helps the universal kit hide from your vehicle ECU and functions so as not to out faults on the dashboard hence the name “BYPASS” A dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicles ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicle's software to run smoothly with the new towbar, it works very much like an update to your smartphone. Volkswagen T-Roc's 2018 vehicles will require coding.

The tow bar you select will determine whether the cut to the bumper is visible or none visible, or no cut for the T-Roc's a bumper cut is not always required.
