There weren’t any bits around the spare wheel in my B9, they were in the cubby hole behind the removable panel on the left side of the boot

If you’re lucky and you have the tow bar and the controllers from the same car then it should just work. Let me know if you need the instruction document

Sorry only just seen this as someone else sent me a PM - do you still need it?

You can’t parameterise the tow controller without vcp so if the button isn’t lighting up this is what you’ll need to do. The other coding you can do via VCDS - it’s fairly simple to make the changes following the instruction file - if you don’t have it PM me your email and I’ll send it over

https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/retrofit-genuine-audi-swivel-retracting-towbar-a4-b9-and-all-road.387943/ For my A4 B9 Allroad but the instructions are the same and I've included what I know about part numbers for the general A4 B9 model

So after nearly 12 months of pain I've finally got this working. For anyone following in my footsteps wanting to install a genuine retractable towbar here's how to do it. If you only want to perform coding for a removable towbar (using genuine Audi parts to connect to the CAN bus) then you can...

Thanks, does anyone have instructions for vcp?

Paul_w how did you get it working?

The towbar is second hand but the tow controller, wiring and release button are new. What is involved in parametrising the unit? I think that might be the issue!

I don’t have the chassis control module nor do I have any error/fault codes.

Byte 2 is 00 which in VCDS says Button none but I have the boot release button as shown in the top of this thread. Can someone confirm what the coding should be with this button as it’s still not working

Mine just plugs into the Wibutec wiring loom - the reason I think that mine isn’t working is that I’ve been provided a F control unit and the towbar is a D variety. I’ve ordered a D control until and we’ll see what happens

Can you share your coding? Can't get my button to work

Did you ever get this working?

I’m trying to fit one to my car but I can’t get the coding to work. It’s a westfalia electronic swivel version that would have been factory fitted to the car. As far as I know all the electric bits are fine and I have no fault codes but the light on the release button doesn’t light (although the...
