Hi I am looking at getting a towbar fitted and have been given various info. I have been quoted for a fixed towbar with vehicle specific electrics and recoding which was a reasonable price, however, I was concerned the towbar will be picked up by the sensors. Another place suggested I get a detachable one. Some say you cannot get a detachable one. The one I was quoted for was a Brink (formerly Thule I think). I have an automatic gearbox. I am looking at towing a small car trailer. I wondered whether a fixed would be OK, or whether there was a possibility of having the reversing sensors just switched off completely. Have you had any problems when towing with the fixed - or rather the sensors picking up the fixed towbar when the caravan is not on? (I am assuming if they do not pick up the towbar and you are in reverse without the caravan the sensors work as normal??) Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi I am getting desperate, can anyone on here help me??? I have a Roomster registered 61 plate with reversing sensors. I am looking to have a towbar fitted to pull a car trailer. I have made several enquiries and have been told you cannot get a detachable towbar only a fixed, but others say you can get a detachable. Some say that they can do the vehicle specific wiring and evening the re-coding but if I have a fixed towbar this will not solve the issue of the reversing sensors picking up the towbar when the car is in reverse. Can anyone advise which is the better towbar - fixed or detachable - or if fixed does the towbar affect the reversing sensors? Alternatively, does anyone know if it is possible to have the reversing sensors disabled completely? or muted?? Thanks for any help anyone can give.
