To be honest I don't know as it was PF Jones that fitted mine. As you bought the kit from them I guess they'd be happy enough to tell you where they mount it?
The engine coding is 12194012243503080000 and the trailer is 0100000000000000. Beforehand the engine coding was 12194012232503080000...
Glad to hear that you've finally got one installed! Which bar did you go for and how long was the install?
As far as the coding goes, I know that when I originally did mine using VDCS I didn't know about that engine coding so I didn't make that change (VDCS has no info about the purpose of...
I've actually picked one up from the local dealer and, as you say, it wasn't expensive at all. The Westfalia installation guide sort of shows that it's mounted on the side of the boot but isn't at all explicit in showing exactly where or how! I'm not really sure whether to bother installing it...

I thought the cost was pretty reasonable too, less than half the dealer's quote for what is the same kit.
I didn't do any of it at all. The fitting took 3.5 hours so I imagine the dealer would be taking quite a bit longer, so there would've been a much bigger cost for labour. The £140 paid...
It was £177 for the Westfalia removable towbar, £123.50 for the 13 pin oem electrics and £140 for fitting. The coding at the dealers was £90.
Prior to going to the dealers I had coded it myself to get rid of the ESP warning but I hadn't made one of the engine changes or the change to module 5F...
I finally got around to getting this sorted out at the dealers. Afterwards I used VCDS to see what changes had been made to my 2010 S-Line Avant TDI:

Hi Stu,
Thanks for your reply. The installation guide doesn't seem to be much use when using VCDS as it just states the following:
36. Adapt the vehicle coding on the following control units using guided troubleshooting, by changing them to Trailer coupling fitted 1D2: Confirm suggested...
Thanks for the reply, unless someone says different I'll make inquiries at the dealers then .... at least to see what they say!
I'm getting it fitted by PF Jones in Manchester. It's the Westfalia removable unit with the dedicated wiring so it's the one that Audi fit. Even if I have to pay...
Hi Everyone,
I'm just about to get a towbar and dedicated electrics fitted to my MY2010 Avant S-Line 2.0TDI and wondered if anyone knows just what I'll need to code in VCDS / VAG COM to set it up? This will be my first use of VCDS so I'm not really sure what I'm doing but I'm sure I'll learn...
