Take a look at our first installation of the all new Mazda CX-60 Towbar, using a detachable towbar and 13 pin dedicated towing electrics, fully coded to ensure safe and legal towing. If you’re interested in towing with your Mazda CX-60, then take a look at the options you can choose from below.
7 or 13 pin electrics?
When you are towing a standard trailer or have a lighting board attached and even a bike carrier a 7-pin vehicle specific kit will enable all of your light functions for this job. A 7-pin Vehicle Specific Single Electrics kit provides all of the basic legal lighting requirements for towing and harnesses perfectly with your car. We never fit by-pass or universal electrics to your vehicle!
You will need a 13-pin Vehicle Specific Electrics kit for towing a caravan to provide all of the legal lighting requirements for towing, as well as powering the electrics inside your caravan. Most caravans, manufactured after January 2009, will have 13-pin electrics and will also connect to your reverse lights whilst providing a full power supply inside your caravan. Please note if you have the older 12n 12s style electrics we will still fit the latest electrics to your vehicle and then simply provide a 12n 12s to 13 pin adapter.
Fixed or Detachable Towbar?

When we took the call from our customer who wanted to install a Towbar for attaching his bike carrier to his recently purchased Cupra Born we gladly took on the challenge.
The bad news is the Cupra Born is not homologated to tow and so the vehicle has no towing capacity at all. The good news is that with the installation of a towbar a range of bike carriers are available to make life easier getting away on those weekend trips.
Click here to take a look here at our compatible bike carriers.

With new sophisticated safety systems and features being incorporated into today’s vehicles, manufacturers have had to re-think the way in which these systems can communicate to each other effectively. “CANbus systems†are therefore becoming much more common in today’s vehicles than previous analogue “wiring loomsâ€. But what are the differences between the two systems, and what are the advantages…
CAN stands for “Controlled Area Network“.
Originally developed in the early 1980’s by the Robert Bosch corporation, for automotive applications. The use of Can bussed systems allows the manufacturers of automotive vehicles to seriously reduce the cost in vehicle construction by incorporating CAN technology. The older technologies consisted of many metres of heavy cable combined with switches, relays and fuses. This proved heavy and expensive, so the creation of a CAN network now consisted of fewer wires and control units communicating through a single pair of twisted wires as the transmission medium and because CAN’s are now used in such huge volumes, all the components are extremely affordable. Its high transfer rate and high transmitter reliability, as well as the ability to recognise data error, makes it ideal in electrical noisy environment
In automotive CAN applications, the instrument panel, power windows, body accessories and even many sensors and actuators all have their own individual mini-control unit. All the units, known technically as ‘nodes’, communicate with each other through a single pair of wires. These are twisted together to ensure minimum interference and is broadly known as the ‘data bus’.
All the data on the bus is addressed to a specific node or group of nodes by function, not location. The relevant nodes respond to a particular pre-programmed protocol. For example, the vehicle speed sensor will put its data on the bus, and every other control unit that needs vehicle speed information will receive it directly without having to go to an alternative central control unit.
Because there are multiple units sharing a single bus, every data package includes a priority code. This will ensure, for instance, that if the ABS control unit and the lighting unit both send a message to the BCM (Body Control Module), the critical ABS system message gets to go first.
CAN technology will significantly reduce the number of connector pins and wires in the vehicle. With extra ‘blank’ connectors built into the network loop, or with a splice kit for adding connectors, nodes can be added on the production line (or even aftermarket) without running a new wiring harness. However, designers have built in more than one network on the vehicle, linked by ‘gateways’ where appropriate. The mission-critical nodes will be linked on a high-speed Class C network that can operate in virtual real-time. Less critical items, such as the instrument panel, lighting systems will use a slower Class B network, and ‘occasionally used’ body accessories, such as power windows are likely to use a Class A network.
*Activated driver assistance systems inform the driver about all relevant data being transferred around the vehicle – the corresponding display is then activated either in the instrument display or on a centre panel display. Computers for engine and transmission control or for lighting system management monitor the vehicle using the data transmitted via the CAN bus. The systems no longer operate in isolation alongside one another, but can now quickly react to the information from one another. The CAN bus is an optimal solution for managing all vehicle electrical and electronic functions.
As a result, effective fault monitoring and diagnosis of the systems are integrated into the CAN bus, defects can be localized more quickly and even temporarily compensated for by corresponding secondary systems. For example, a faulty tail light function can be temporarily replaced by a brake light bulb. The driver would instantly be informed of the failure in order to address the problem.
*Activated driver assistance system is hugely relevant for the towing customer.
Particular features such as ‘Trailer Stability Programs’ (TSP) are now being introduced and currently installed in nearly ALL new VAG vehicles, BMW X series and the newly produced GM vehicles. The alarming thing about these systems, are that they are a incredibly easy feature to install and activate when towing. With a change to the existing ESP, ( Electronic Stability Program) the vehicle is able to correct a ‘snake’ in a trailer or caravan. These systems are dormant in the software of the vehicle and brought into operation when the car detects a trailer connected.
This happens in a number of ways but the most common method is a signal generated by the towing module, which is recognised by the central computer. The signal is sent when a towing plug is inserted into the socket. The vehicle specific ‘Towing Electrics’ can also activate other features associated with towing. For systems such as TSP to operate it is essential to have a towbar wiring kit installation which communicates directly on the CAN bus.
With technology constantly being refined and improved, towing electrics have become as vital as any other electrical system in terms of safety. Therefore, it is CRITICAL to MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
The alternative is to either choose the cheaper universal towing electrics solution or possibly worse, have this chosen for you by a towbar installer. This decision could affect every aspect of the safety of your vehicle and that of other road users.
REMEMBER: Choosing a universal by-pass electric installation WILL NOT allow certain safety systems to function!

Following on from the success of the model S saloon and model X, the Model 3 shares those cars’ combination of clever battery technology, powerful electric motors and high-tech onboard systems. Outside, the Model 3 also shares its siblings styling, which easily flies under the radar – a stark contrast to the remarkably minimalist interior that’s all but bare except for a very large infotainment screen used to control pretty much everything in the vehicle. Many customer have the desire to carry bikes with the new Tesla and here we have the perfect solution. The Model S comes with a 750 kg towing capacity so any major towing is not an option, but for the purpose of carrying bikes the detachable towbar provides a safe and easy option. This towbar also provides a great nose weight of up to 91kgs giving plenty of scope to carry multiple bikes.
