Be careful of non Volvo tow kit. When I bought my second hand XC70 from a main dealer, it came complete with a tow bar which I assumed was a Volvo unit as the dealer included it in the overall specification of the car when it was offered to me. Subsequently we discovered that it was not a Volvo unit, the electrics were not Volvo kit and it had been botched by the original owner or a non Volvo garage to fit, including diverting power from the rear screen demist and butchering the fuse box which disrupted other systems. The dealer refitted it free of charge, even after 3 years, and said that a genuine Volvo set would have fitted easily without the need to break into circuits that should have been left alone.
