Advanced Tow Assist Activation for Land Rover & Jaguar
Enable the Advanced Tow Assist programme on your JLR vehicle—verified against your VIN, configured through JLR-approved diagnostic pathways, and validated with a full function test.
Unlock the Towing Technology Your Vehicle Already Carries
Many JLR vehicles leave the factory with the complete Advanced Tow Assist hardware installed. The Trailer Module sits in place. The rotary controller occupies its position on the centre console. The surround cameras and the Electric Power Assisted Steering rack carry the necessary capability. The feature simply stays switched off in the Car Configuration File because the original build specification did not include it.
This activation service turns that dormant capability into a working system. Our technicians read your current configuration, confirm the presence of every prerequisite component, and enable Advanced Tow Assist through genuine JLR diagnostic equipment. You then rotate the rotary controller and the vehicle steers itself to place your trailer exactly where you direct it. The touchscreen displays a predictive trajectory overlay, and the jack-knife warning monitors articulation angle continuously. You gain full factory functionality without adding a single hardware component.
Key Features
- Hardware prerequisite verification confirms your vehicle carries the Trailer Module and required systems before any change.
- Rotary controller trailer steering enables automatic vehicle steering while you direct the trailer.
- Predictive trajectory overlay activates the tow guidance graphics on your touchscreen.
- Jack-knife warning monitors articulation angle and alerts you as it approaches the safe limit.
- Tow menu activation unlocks trailer profiles, dimensions, and coupling settings in the infotainment system.
- Trailer Stability Assist coordination aligns the tow programme with existing ABS and ESC functions.
- Automatic trailer light check enables the pre-departure lamp verification sequence.
- Surround camera guidance integrates the camera network with the tow display where equipped.
- Genuine CCF amendment applies the change through JLR-approved diagnostic pathways.
- Documented before-and-after values give you a written record for your vehicle file.

Process & System Integrity
Our authorised technicians follow a meticulous, vehicle-specific procedure. They confirm your build record and hardware inventory, read the existing configuration, and apply the activation through genuine JLR diagnostic equipment. They then connect a test trailer load and validate trailer steering, the trajectory overlay, the jack-knife warning, and the lamp check sequence before handover. This approach preserves the integrity of your vehicle’s original engineering while unlocking the full factory capability you already own.
Every configuration change meets original equipment standards for data integrity and traceability. We test each activation against the relevant platform before completion, which guarantees a clean result and consistent operation across thousands of towing manoeuvres.
Transform Every Towing Journey
