There's more than one way to skin that cat.Originally posted by marcuskmt View PostHow do you do this?
A simple way is to just take a screen shot just before you hit the "Do it" button. On that screen you'll have the original binary string before the code is changed, and the new string that you've changed it to. If the coding doesn't work as you expect, it is then a simple matter of returning it to what it was before you messed with it. If it does work then you have a record of what you changed it to, and a record of what the original coding was.
There are other ways of scanning the whole vehicle before and after. Just keep detailed notes is all I'm saying.

Hi mate, my 162tsi with all the fruit gets here Aug and I'm looking for a tow bar for my r line. Do you have any pics? I want to go aftermarket, maybe westfalia if they are rated the same as other traditional clunky units. Pulling a trailer and bikes on the back. Coding is my biggest concerns needing to go back to the dealer to code it after I didn't buy there overpriced unitOriginally posted by Hole46 View PostI had a Westfalia bar fitted to my R-line, just over $1500 fitted, looks much better than the one VW fitted to my neighbour's Comfortline.

Did you get offered the option of having a hitch option, as opposed to a fixed tow ball?Originally posted by Hole46 View PostYes, that's mine, a lot more photos on the Euro Car Upgrades Facebook site.

I just spoke to EV Towbars people about this and they claim to not know about the hitch option. Is there any way you could scan the instruction sheet and put it on here, so I can show them please?Originally posted by Hole46 View PostNo. Only after I bought mine did I find out there is one with a removable ball shown on the instruction sheet as well.

Westfalia website states their towbars are ADR certified, correlates with what AustraliaTowBars.com.au state on their site for the Tiguan towbar. My dealer stated they weren't but I'll have to send them the link:

Westfalia bars ARE ADR compliant. They have been since they started in Australia back in 2014. They wouldn't be able to sell them in Australia if they weren't.
Sounds like your dealer is telling you BS to sell you his inferior tow bar at vastly inflated prices. Don't fall for it.

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't a max vertical load of 120KG on the towball equate to a max braked towing load of 1.2 tons allowed in Aus? Also a weight distribution hitch is not allowed to be used on a Tiguan.
