Hi I read with interest that you fitted a mk1 Kodiaq tow bar to your mk2 Kodiaq, using a dedicated wiring kit. Did this kit fit directly into the tow bar preparation wiring, without any alteration? If you had to do any alteration, can you confirm what you did please? I have purchased a kit from Germany with a swivel type tow bar which came with a vehicle specific wiring kit, but doesn’t connect to the tow bar preparation in the car. So I would be very grateful if you could advise me on the fitting kit you used and any modifications that you had to make? Many thanks. It’s really bad that Škoda don’t provide a vehicle specific wiring kit for this model yet, especially since it comes with tow bar preparation. Very poor show. There are kits for most other VW group vehicles and many crossover models. I tried a Škoda kit for a late model FABIA hoping it would work, but no success and without knowing what each specific wire is for, there is little chance of getting it working correctly. I do of course have the option of fitting the whole kit which came with my tow bar, but I’m reluctant to do that because it would be a lot more complicated as I have the tow bar preparation already. Secondly I have found all the trims and clips on my Škoda Kodiaq mk2 to be very difficult to remove and flimsy to, with several clip retaining brackets breaking when removing the wheel arch trims. No ware near as good quality as my Tiguan was and my other VW’s I’ve had in the past. Also I have the squeaky driver side mirror too and for some reason the map option in the dash won’t work. Other than that the car has been great. Although I do miss the adaptive cruise control from my Tiguan.
