Q3 parking sensors

[Stubb-z]

Hi all - another topic/ question about our Q3.

The parking sensors don't work, but the car has a towbar fitted (but neck is detached) and an LED trailer light module fitted. 

Stupid question maybe - but is there a way to turn the sensors on/off from the car, or are they not working likely due to the towing module? - I cant find anything in any of the vehicle menu's, and i'm having software issues anyway besides this one (ive started another thread about RMC update's)

Cheers for helping an old duffer out!

They should deactivate once trailer plugged into 12 pin socket. Otherwise sensors should work. Assuming it's all been fitted properly then I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. 

If you need a towbar specialist I'd highly recommend buzz towbars. They sorted the wiring on my ford Kuga daily.
