Towing lights with dedicated wiring loom

Can anybody tell me if I have to have my Ecu programmed if I put towing gear on my 2010 freelander2.

AFAIK there are 3 different OEM kits for the towing electrics on the FL2 depending upon the VIN. I have installed all 3 at various times.
The latest one was the simplest to install and was fully plug-n-play whilst the earliest one required addition an control box in the boot space and reprogramming by JLR .
The middle one was a half way house and you could get away without reprogramming anything - it just didnt cancel the parking sensors when you selected reverse which was not an issue for me.

PF Jones maybe your best help as they have non-OEM stuff. Jules

As per Jules reply above, my MY2010 sat in the middle. Everything worked with OEM kit, except disabling of rear parking sensors. This was not a big issue for me. Just had ECU updated when it was serviced at local independent. They didn't even charge me Very Happy Andy
