Hi all
I'm recently new to the Porsche ownership stable.
We've just taken delivery of a Macan S Diesel that has an aftermarket towbar fitted.
To retain Porsche extended warranty, the bar + wiring had to be removed. Apparently the diagnostic computer senses resistance drops (!) in aftermarket wiring... regardless - the warranty was important, so it's out.
So - now I am at a choice... Given that the Hayman Reese bar is actually very good, could I just put that back in + get a factory wiring harness to put in with it? That would surely keep the factory happy?
Would that need some specific coding to make work? (can buy the part out of the USA for AUD$105)
Or - just get the Hayman Reese guys to put a new aftermarket wiring kit back in? (I can get this FOC)
Or - full factory towbar which is $2,800...
Thoughts / opinions etc?
Many thanks
