SEAT Alhambra - What changed in 2013 facelift? - Nutkey

Looking at buying a towbar - and everyone keeps asking me if I have the Mk2, or the Mk2 facelift, both of which also get referred to as the 7N facelift. I had no idea there even was a facelift in 2013, and googling has yielded absolutely nothing. Car is a 13 reg. Is there an easy way to tell which I have?

Maybe the wiring changed from non-canbus to canbus - makes a difference to trailer wiring.

Think you will find that anything after 2010 with sliding rear doors is a 7N.This will most definitely have can wiring and thus important to have the correct system installed.

Definitely CANBUS post-2010. The different options are for the towbar, not the wiring kit...

The Witter part numbers are different, but Westfalia/Bosal are the same. Might just go for Westfalia, I think that's what the OEM offering is anyway!

I got round to ringing up SEAT, who looked it up and told me it was early 2013.
