Towing electrics L405

Hi all. I'm going to order a tow bar (PF Jones) for my 2015 L405 to fit one weekend while i have nowt else to do. I will also order dedicated electrics with this. I believe the electrics need coding to the vehicle, my question is, can the Gap tool do this or do I need more specialist equipment, IE dealer / Indy.
Cheers Dave.

Mine were plugged in and supposed to be p and P but they don’t disable the reversing sensors...... so maybe require some fiddling.... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Well, a little early I know in the current world situation, but the tow bar arrived on Friday from PF Jones. I couldn’t just leave it sat there so I fitted yesterday, all seems to work ok with voltage at fridge and terminal (switched) also a none switched voltage and lights all work on my trailer board so happy days so far. I also did my own cut out on the bumper panel. Not a bad job all in all TBH.

Same one I got Thumbs Up

Haven’t had chance to tow with it yet! Did your parking sensors deactivate Dave? As I said mine don’t, everything else works a treat, but the sensors stay on when you select reverse, which is why I suspect it may need plugging in. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Only had had a trailer board plugged in up to now, but I think I have the same issue as you where they don't deactivate. All other voltage points look ok so will live with it for now. I'm looking at getting an IID tool soon which I think will code it as it does say it has a section for towing electrics.

Early ones can not deactivate sensors when tow electrics plugged in. Had this conversation with local fitter as the 322 did it automatically. There is no file to change within the car sadly, the later ones can. Step backwards, so you just have to reach across and press the off button, the struggle is real Mr. Green Mr. Green
