Default Tow bar on eBay Germany...

Hi folks,

I'm after a tow bar, and the electrical interface that suits the complexity of the D3. I'm ok with a spanner, but electrics isn't my thing...

Anyway, while trawling eBay Germany, I came across this:

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=391044478922

What are people's thoughts on it, I wonder if anyone out there in Internet land is fluent in German?? Could you possibly pass your eye over the ad'...

Thanks in advance.

John

My German is a bit stale nowadays

Suitable for:
Audi A8 type 4E
10.2002 - 02.2010
AHK rigid screwed system
The trailer hitch kit for the Audi A8 consists of: Tow bar rigid auto Hak (AHK rigid screwed system) with a 13-pin vehicle specific electrical kit from AC, which is perfectly suitable for self-assembly. The AHK has a towing capacity of 2430 kg and a supporting load of 95 kg. A TÜV-registration is not necessary in Germany. In the kit between electrical kit for the Audi A8 are all required parts, incl. Assembly instructions for the Audi A8, included. A release by a specialist workshop to the vehicle is necessary here.

Cheers TC,

I used google translate to get a similar translation, but I was more concerned specifically with the electrical gubbins...

They are saying that it is DIY friendly.
And that full instructions are included.
I have never been interested in towing, did enough in the Army, so pricewise I cannot offer any assistance.

Cheers Ray.

I'm just trying to figure out if a dullard like me could fit it, without starting an electrical fire...

Sorry if I'm being as clear as mud!

I've recently bought from ebay, eBay item number:351078113378 which is a removable autohak towbar. Price around 240 Euros + postage. I then bought the westfalia electric kit and had this programmed.
