Installing a Specific Mercedes VITO 7-Pin Towbar Wiring Kit: Diagnosis Check
Installing a 7-pin towbar wiring kit on your Mercedes VITO can be done yourself, especially if you use a specific wiring kit. However, it is essential to know that some specific wiring kits require an additional step: the diagnostic check (or coding) to activate certain functions.
-
How to know if a diagnostic check is necessary?
This information is always indicated on the product page of the wiring kit on our website. We recommend checking this information before purchase to plan the installation steps. If the diagnostic check is required, you can then schedule an appointment with a mechanic or dealer.
-
Why is a diagnostic check needed?
Some modern vehicles equipped with the CAN Bus information network need to recognize the towbar wiring kit to activate options such as automatic deactivation of reverse sensors. This operation involves connecting the vehicle to a diagnostic tool (diagnostic check) to select the "wiring kit" option in the system parameters. Once this operation is completed, the CAN Bus recognizes the wiring kit and authorizes the additional functionalities.
-
How much does a diagnostic check cost?
A diagnostic check generally costs around thirty euros. This relatively quick operation is usually performed by a professional equipped with the diagnostic equipment adapted to your Mercedes VITO..
Tip: If you're unsure about this step, our technicians are available by phone to guide you and explain the process if a diagnostic check is necessary for your model.
