Otherwise, it`s £25 I think to get an additional car to the standard non-pro |

Certainly an option if someone were willing.

I believe it needs the ccf editing to tell it has a tow bar and 13 pin electrics to work fully. |

In North Oxfordshire, just off M40 if that helps, it's not a pro though

If it helps, I fitted a westfalia towbar and electrics to my 2012 and didn't change anything with the IID tool.

Rear parking sensors should be disabled when you plug in the trailer.

I'm a bit dubious of this trailer stability program and towing specific gearbox mapping. The car has no way of knowing through the trailer electrics if its a 2.5 tonne trailer or a towbar mounted bike rack that's fitted.

I haven't actually tried it as I haven't fitted the towbar yet - I was planning to do it today, but its too wet at the moment.. I'm going on what I have read on here - I believe that it will all work with the exception of disabling of park sensors and some fog light issues (not sure what the deal is on tow stability either..) They aren't deal breakers, but I would rather have t working as it should.

The LR one is also just wires and plugs so should be the same.

i remember reading that the 2012 is plug and play and you dont need to do anything to the ccf....but theres only one way to find out, is to fit the electrics and see..
