UNIVERSAL VS DEDICATED TOWBAR WIRING
S & B Towbars in Liverpool are experts in towbar system wiring. We also specialise in towbar fitting. See our gallery for examples of our work.
VEHICLE SPECIFIC WIRING SYSTEMS
Although a vehicle specific wiring system is more expensive than a universal/bypass system, there are various reasons to make this worthwhile investment.
Using a universal/bypass system can invalidate your vehicle's electrical warranty. Manufacturer warranties will specify that any towbars must be fitted using the dedicated wiring kit for that particular make and model, supplied by the manufacturer.
In many cases the wiring must be taken to the front of the vehicle and the connectors are behind panels requiring a lot of trim to be removed. This means it can take from 1 to 4 hours to fit the wiring.
