My 2005 V70 has a non-Volvo tow kit fitted and that does NOT use the towing connection on the REM but instead patches into the turn signal nearby. As a result, the towing lamp on the instrument panel does not illuminate but there is a buzzer which echoes the indicators.
Note also that the operation of the rear fog lamp operation changes from two stage (on - off) to a four stage (car and van on - car and van off - van only on - car and van off). This is to stop the car’s fog light uselessly shining on the front of the caravan and glaring in the rear view mirror. There is a periodic audible warning that beeps every minute or so when you think you’ve turned off the rear fog light but actually the caravan only is illuminated. If that makes any sense.
