Do you have a tow hitch fitted?
This is an accessory you have to buy if you fit a tow hitch, it does not come fitted as standard.

I haven’t got one fitted at the moment .I am looking at the cost to do it myself as the garage wants £700 to supply and fit.
If I get the trailer module does the car have to be coded or is it just plug in

New facelift Ecosports have a canbus system, so you will need to fit a trailer module (relay unit), which is an in built relay system to buffer you trailer electrics from the canbus system.

See this thread on fitting a trailer module, fit it inside the back of the Ecosport...

Towbar electrics

I have an Ecosport 2016. Have fitted towbar but need to check whether I need special electrics or can I just use the normal 12n type. I only want to pull a light dinghy.

Another irritation is that some cars are fitted with reversing sensors, and can mess up with a metal towball fitted. It may or may not affect Ecosports. One member says it does not affect reversing sensors.

Towbar question

I need to get a towbar on my 2016 model (no spare wheel). Can I get away with a fixed one or will it screw up the parking sensors? Thanks!
