Towbar wiring

[Bluemx16]

Hi, I just fitted a towbar to my 1.9D 04 Fabia estate. I'm good at mechanical stuff but pants at electrics. 

 

Is my car Canbus wiring? If so do I need a relay or can I wire straight in to rear cabling? 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

TIA

Yes, it's canbus, you will need a bypass relay.

That's great, thanks Cryonut. That's very helpful.

Would you know what type of relay, I have a 7 connection and a single by-pass relay.

Something like EBay item 152994120357 would do.

Thanks again Cryonut, that's very similar to the one I have. If I take a photo could you advise me on it please?

Here are photos of the one I have:

Not sure if being jaguar specific is a problem,

Here you go. This the standard version of the Jaguar specific relay you quoted.

It works with CanBus and modulated lighting so should be what you need. Call the vendor to check if you want confirmation. I have this vendor a few times over the years and had no problems.
