I will be fitting a tow bar to my 2001 C220 CDI.Is there a dedicated harness you can get or can you splice into the wiring for lights indicators etc. also has anyone fitted aftermarket park sensors,will it upset any sensors if you splice into reverse light wire.

Ask your MB dealer for a print out of the tow hitch wiring.

If you took it into a tow hitch firm they would do just that, use the connectors that bite into the cable, as they can always be removed without cutting any wires.
