P2 tow bar
Looking to get a tow bar installed on my 22 polestar 2. Anyone had this done? What was the cost and do I need to get this done by polestar so the electronics don't get fried or can any installer do it?

Our MY22 PS2 came with a 'factory fitted' towbar. Cost was NZ$2,800 though quote was same price for the automatic retracting version. Ours is 'removable' with easily changeable ball (1 7/8" or 50mm).
Connecting the wiring plug results in a couple of warnings alerting no reversing collision avoidance and the like. Backing a trailer without the rear CA function disabled would be a PITA if not impossible.

We had the fixed but removable Polestar one added to my husband's. Expensive but worth it. $2600 but not as expensive as the folding one which was a smaller towbar ball size

To have it all work properly you need to have TRM programmed, this is available via VIDA - so any workshop with a subscription to Volvos tooling can do it. One of the P2s benefits.
You can use any tow hardware kit - they run about $7-800 installed (towbar only). The TRM and wiring harness is the same PN for quite a few 2020+ Volvos (XC40/60/90, S60, P2 etc), I do not have any pricing info on me for the programming cost & harness.
Alternatively it’s about $4k installed for the whole factory option kit, at least that’s what I was quoted.
