Dedicated Electrical Kits.
Dedicated Electrical kits have become an essential part of any towbar installation.
Over the past decade vehicle electrics, on-board management and safety systems have moved forward in leaps and bounds. The old wiring looms on most vehicles now have changed completely, instead of just carrying electric they now have become a communication network delivering digital signals to neighbouring modules within the system.
With this in mind, any additions to this system MUST be compatible.
Vehicle specific electrics are a must for so many reasons, and safety is at the top of the list. Dedicated kits offer full integration into the vehicles CANbus system, allowing the vehicle to detect when it is towing and automatically adjust its settings for a safer and more economical ride.
Most vehicle manufacturers insist on dedicated wiring to be fitted to their vehicles aftermarket to avoid any loss in remaining vehicle warranty. On top of that insurance companies have started to take note and in road traffic accidents where towing vehicle’s have been at fault, and they haven’t had dedicated wiring, people have not been covered by there insurer.
Safety, quality and reliability are what is important to us at CTTC and we want our customers to have great service and know that their vehicle is protected. We only fit vehicle specific wiring for our customers vehicles. If any vehicle coding is required, we also do that in house and included in the price.
Specialist Coding Centre.

Choosing the right towbar?
Flange towbars and swan neck towbars are the two most common types. Flange towbars are generally used on commercial vehicles for towing, more commercial type accessories can be fitted to these and the base flange neck cost is slightly less, Swan neck towbars have a sleeker design to flow with the vehicles bumper and a smaller profie, they are still able to have most of the accessories that are used within the leisure sector fitted to them such as cycle carriers, cargo boxes etc…
The fitment is usually exactly the same and takes the same amount of time to fit to the vehicle, so costing is not that different.
So that is the two types of neck, now you will need to decide whether you want a fixed or detachable version…
