Driving mode

Hi there, Is it possible to install a towing bar on my CX-60 that isn't a genuine Mazda part? I'm interested in getting the towing mode to function with it. From what I gather, you can choose to tow when you have an electrical connection to a caravan. Do I also need to activate it via SW if I add genuine towing? What is the true mechanism of detection? Best regards

Hi there, Will it damage my CX-60 if I try to attach a towing bar that isn't OEM? I'm interested in getting the towing mode to function with it. From what I gather, you can choose to tow when you have an electrical connection to a caravan. Is it necessary to activate it through SW as well if I add real towing? What is the true mechanism of detection? Warm regards

Make sure it's a specialised wiring harness; towing mode capabilities are activated by a single pin. Consult the installer prior to making a purchase. It is fully functional with my Brink plugin, which has the same circuitry.

Today I received my wiring kit (MZ178DX) and it is functioning properly. Thankfully, the trailer has been detected and the towing mode has been engaged. Also, pin 10 is now energised as it should be.

That is great. Pin 10 does not have any electricity, even though I am using the original towbar with connector. The repair cost was 500 Euros, according to the workshop.

That renovation or repair seems like it would cost a significant penny. Also surprising to me was the fact that, by default, pin 10 was not powered (this applies to both authentic and counterfeit wiring kits).
