Default Tow Bar electrics pre-wired

Hi Guys,
Apologies if this is discussed elsewher but i cant find it.

I have just purchased a 2010 xc90 executive D5.

Fitted a westfalia removable towbar and went to install the 13 pin electrics and discovered its already prewired, where do I connect to if the car is already pre wired, would this be prewired for 7 pin being a 2010?

I have looked everywhere and cannot find an open eneded plug to connect into, I guess i dont need all the relays that cam with the new loom?

Thanks

Jase

Default TowBar wiring

I used the genuine Volvo towing module which comes with full instructions and connects to the rear electronics board on the left side rear quarter panel.

There were a couple of fuses to put in also

The exec (which I have) comes with a preinstalled "T" connector fly-lead from the REM which is tied into the existing wiring harness - IIRC a green connector?

I'll try to find my install instructions

Original files are too big to post on here, but I found a couple of compressed versions - hope they help.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for this Dave, finally managed to find the plug half way along the side panel tie wrapped up, Jesus why didn't they just put it in the removable panel so you could plug in easier and find it.

Thanks
