Advanced Tow Assist Retrofit for Land Rover & Jaguar
Master every trailer manoeuvre with a factory-grade Advanced Tow Assist system—engineered for JLR vehicles, configured to your VIN, and activated through JLR-approved diagnostic pathways.
Reverse Your Trailer With Total Confidence
This Advanced Tow Assist retrofit gives you full control of your trailer in reverse. You rotate the rotary controller on the centre console, and the system steers the vehicle automatically to place the trailer exactly where you want it. The touchscreen displays a predictive trajectory overlay, so you see the path before the trailer moves along it.
JLR engineers developed this system around the Trailer Module, the Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) rack, and the surround camera network. The vehicle measures trailer yaw and articulation angle continuously, then calculates the correct steering input in real time. You concentrate on throttle, brake, and direction while the vehicle handles the geometry. Manoeuvring a caravan, horsebox, or plant trailer becomes a calm, precise operation.
Key Features
- Rotary controller trailer steering turns the vehicle automatically while you direct the trailer.
- Predictive trajectory overlay shows the intended trailer path on the touchscreen before you commit.
- Jack-knife warning alerts you as the articulation angle approaches the safe limit.
- Surround camera guidance provides a clear rear and side view of the trailer and obstacles.
- Trailer detection recognises a connected trailer and enables tow-specific vehicle behaviour.
- Trailer Stability Assist works with the ABS and ESC modules to damp snaking at speed.
- Automatic trailer light check verifies indicator, brake, and tail lamp function before departure.
- Tow Hitch Assist (where supported) reverses the vehicle to the coupling point automatically.
- Touchscreen tow menu stores trailer profiles, dimensions, and coupling settings.
- Factory integration preserves your existing infotainment, steering, and driver assistance systems.

Installation & System Integrity
Our authorised installation partners follow a meticulous, vehicle-specific procedure. The process involves fitting the trailer module, routing factory-style tow electrics, installing the rotary controller, and calibrating the steering and trailer functions through proprietary JLR-compatible software. Our technicians then validate every tow function with a test trailer load before handover. This approach ensures the system performs with the same reliability and refinement as a factory-fitted option.
Every component in the kit meets or exceeds original equipment standards for current handling and long-term durability. The system undergoes rigorous testing for vibration, water ingress, and electrical load stability, guaranteeing consistent performance across thousands of towing cycles.
Transform Every Towing Journey
Upgrade your vehicle with a retrofit that embodies the technical excellence expected of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. This Advanced Tow Assist system delivers genuine control and confidence at the coupling and on the road while preserving the integrity and aesthetics of your vehicle.
