Tommv6 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Car has rear parking sensors factory fitted but no button to disable them? Ie for towing? Can one be bought and just fitted? Any info would be appreciated:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi Tom, I don't see no reason why you couldn't just fit a switch. Out of curiosity is your towbar factory fit or aftermarket? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommv6 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 That’s what I thought steve, just didn’t know if there were different specs. The tow bar is a factory fit detachable Jobby. I’ll see if I can get a switch for less than a weeks wages 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niedzial1983 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Factory fittet tow bar was Westfaila and it was automaticly retracted from under the car by a button in the boot. As part of the wirring there was a extra module that controls tow bar and integrates with the rest of the car , ei swithing rear sensors off etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qbert72 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Check to see if you have the option in the MMI under the Car Setup where it has Towing Mode and Jacking Mode, if you set the Towing Mode to ON then it disables the rear sensors but leaves the front working. Or at least it does on my 2009 Allroad 3.0TDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
