Swan Neck Towbar with Reversing Sensors

Featured Replies

Hi 

 

I am thinking of getting a Swan Neck Towbar installed on my Mk3 Fabia Estate.  I wondered if anyone had experience of one triggering the reversing sensors. I could get a detachable one, but this is about £100 more - so I dont want to do that if Swan Neck one doesnt trigger the sensors.

 

Thanks

Hi 

 

I had one fitted to my 2016 Octavia I only wanted single electrics so didn't go for the all singing all  dancing wiring as I only tow a small trailer occasionally and don't have a problem with the reversing sensors.

One tip is to put a shoe box or some such at the height and position of where the tow ball will be and then put the car into reverse and listen for the sensors sounding, hope this helps

Hi, appreciate this an old chain - wondering if the OP got the towbar and did it impact parking sensors? I’m in the same position
