Brink Mercedes Eqs (V297) Bmu Detachable | Euro Car Parts

The Brink detachable towbar system, specifically designed for the Mercedes-Benz EQS (V297), represents a robust and integrated solution for those requiring occasional towing capability without compromising the vehicle’s aesthetic lines. This BMU (Body Module) compatible system offers a seamless integration with the EQS's electrical architecture, ensuring full functionality of trailer stability control and other related safety features.

This isn’t simply an add-on; it’s engineered to work *with* the Mercedes-Benz EQS. The detachable design allows for a clean rear appearance when not in use – the towball is easily removed, leaving only a discreet cover plate. This is particularly important on premium vehicles like the EQS where maintaining visual appeal is paramount.

Key Features & Technical Considerations:

• Vehicle Specific Design: Developed exclusively for the Mercedes-Benz EQS (V297) model range, guaranteeing a precise fit and optimal performance. Compatibility should be verified using Euro Car Parts’ vehicle registration lookup tool to ensure correct specification.
• Detachable Towball System: The towball is easily removable with a simple rotational and pull mechanism. This allows the vehicle to return to its original aesthetic when towing isn't required. A secure locking feature prevents accidental detachment during use.
• BMU (Body Module) Integration: Crucially, this Brink system integrates directly with the EQS’s Body Module. This integration is vital for enabling trailer-related features such as Trailer Stability Assist (TSA), which helps detect and counteract potential trailer instability. It also manages correct lighting functionality for the trailer, including brake lights, indicators, and reversing lights. Incorrect installation or a non-BMU compatible towbar can lead to these safety systems not functioning correctly.
• Electrical Compatibility: Designed to work with the EQS’s existing electrical system, utilising vehicle-specific wiring kits (available separately). This ensures a reliable and safe connection for all trailer lighting and auxiliary functions.
• Load Capacity & Towing Limits: The maximum towing capacity and nose weight are determined by Mercedes-Benz specifications for the EQS model. It is essential to adhere strictly to these limits, as exceeding them can compromise vehicle handling and safety. Refer to your vehicle’s owner's manual for precise figures.
• Corrosion Resistance: The towbar components are treated with a high-quality corrosion-resistant coating, ensuring longevity and durability even in challenging weather conditions – important given the EQS is often used as a daily driver.
• Installation Considerations: Professional installation is *strongly recommended* to ensure correct fitting and full functionality of the BMU integration. Incorrect installation can lead to electrical issues or compromise the structural integrity of the towbar system. Euro Car Parts offers an installation service at many of its national stores.

Understanding the Benefits for EQS Owners:

For Mercedes-Benz EQS owners, a detachable towbar provides flexibility without sacrificing vehicle aesthetics. Whether you occasionally need to tow a trailer, cycle carrier, or small caravan, this system allows you to do so safely and conveniently. The BMU integration is particularly important as it leverages the advanced safety features already present in the EQS.

Component Details:

• Towbar Main Body: Constructed from high-strength steel for maximum durability and load-bearing capacity.
• Detachable Towball: Manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring a secure connection and easy removal.
• Key Cylinder Lock (Included): Provides security against unauthorised removal of the towball.
• Cover Plate: A discreet cover plate conceals the towbar mounting point when the towball is removed, maintaining the EQS’s clean lines.

Important Notes Regarding Compatibility & Installation:

While this Brink system is designed for the Mercedes-Benz EQS (V297), variations within the model range may exist. Always verify compatibility using Euro Car Parts' vehicle registration lookup tool before purchasing. Furthermore, ensure that a qualified technician performs the installation to guarantee proper integration with the vehicle’s electrical and safety systems. Failure to do so could invalidate your warranty or compromise vehicle safety.

This Brink detachable towbar is more than just an accessory; it's an integrated system designed for the discerning Mercedes-Benz EQS owner who demands quality, functionality, and a seamless towing experience.
