I'm currently in the market for a towbar for my '07 e60 SE.

I'm going to go with the Westfalia armature/swan neck, but am a little sceptical about the wiring kits available. Ideally I'm after a plug and play kit that does not need coding, does this exist? If so, can anyone send me a link to one that has been tried and tested?

Thanks in advance

If you get the PF Jones kit - it'll come with a controller that you attach to the brake, tail, and blinker wires. No coding needed. Works great. Had mine for several years now (here in the States)! It's the TEB7A. It can detect the PWM 'driving lights' and brake on the same wire.
