2021 Vauxhall Combo Life MPV installed with a Fixed Flange tow bar and 7pin (12n) towing electrics using a Vauxhall dedicated CAN wiring kit which integrates into the Vauxhall electrics safely. This Fixed Flange tow bar did not affect the daily operation of the factory fitted rear parking sensors but as an enhanced feature the Vauxhall dedicated wiring kit automatically turns the parking sensors off when towing, this required use to re-programme the cars ECU as part of the installation.
