Hi guys
Been asked by my dad whos looking at buying a cayenne to find him some information.
He needs a tow bar for the use of towing a trailor around though very few cayennes come with them. With it being an optional extra do all cayennes come with the loom for trailor electrics fitted as standard? As he is considering buying one without a tow bar and getting an aftermarket one fitted though doesnt want to bother with the hassle of the original electric sliding one.
Thanks in advance
Will
 
There are plenty of tow bar companies around who will fit a tow bar and electrics to almost any vehicle in a couple of hours. I think they just tap into existing wiring as (without the powered sliding stuff) it's pretty basic electrics on a tow bar. So I'd not worry about whether it has the official loom or not.

That said, when I had this done, the numpty fitter looped the wire over the exhaust silencer - that lasted about an hour!
 
I had one fitted to my Cayenne with the removable ball hitch so very subtle when not in use. There were 2 options for the wiring, I opted for the full integration with the cars electronic systems and I have to say I was very nervous with them fiddling around with the Cayennes electrics. But it worked very well but not cheap, I seem to remember I paid around 500 for it.
 
Thanks guys shall forward the info to him.
Nil98 with this was it adding new loom or plug and play with existing wiring?
