Fitting a Tow Bar.

[Smeesh]

Going to fit a Tow Bar on my E350 Coupe.Does some sort of code need to be added after the tow bar electrics have been connected ? I'm being couscous as the Company I usually are stating they have to make a small cut on the AMG bodykit but have seen detachable tow-bars with any cuts...

Smeesh....

I don't think you can fit a tow bar to AMG sport line models. I was looking at one for my CLK but MB never managed to get for type approval for towing due to insufficient suspension travel.

Check the VIN plate on your car. If there's a gross train weight on it (that's the maximum allowed weight of car plus trailer) then you can tow. If not it's illegal to have a towbar on the car.

I fitted a westfalia towbar and electrics to my 2012 E350 estate. No coding needed but I think you have to turn off the sensors manually every time.
The manual seemed to suggest that if you coded it then they would automatically turn off
