2020 C300DE AMG Line Premium Night Edition.
After some help.
Ordered a C300DE Estate AMG edition PP with tow bar.
Order came back as they can’t factory fit a tow bar to PP because of the boot opening thing.
I can drop to just the premium, but I don’t want to as I can’t then add the items back separately minus the boot opening.

I want to confirm that I can instead just get a 3rd party tow bar fitted and disable the boot opening foot waving thing.

Has anyone got a bar fitted to a PP?

I’ve called my dealer who promised to call back, 3 days later and I’m still waiting....

Thanks.
 
I have a factory fitted toe bar on a Prem Plus but it is on a 2019 E Estate.

I don’t see why it cannot he fitted, but also doubt the boot opening sensor could be disabled if after market one is fitted!

Good luck - the options always seem to be complicated.

Why not just move the sensor to one side ?
 
Thanks. Moving the sensor would be good. But before I order the car I need to confirm a tow bar can be fitted. I tweeted Merc yesterday, but they say they can’t help, so I will call the technical helpline today.
:)
 
Can’t have the car in the PP spec :-(
Yes there are after market tow bars.
Yes they can be fitted.
Yes the car is homologated for towing.
But Merc don’t recommend it owing to the weight of the sun roof and batteries.
As this is a company car, Arval won’t allow it :-(
So I can drop to premium and lose the roof, sound system, 360 camera and keyless go. Or forget the hybrid and go diesel, but get the spec I want and tow bar.
:-/
 
I could get the spec I want and a tow-bar in the saloon.
