with your car being a 2006 model it will have CAN wiring and i might be wrong (someone with more technical knowlege on here might correct me) but i belive that when the towbar is fitted it requires a CAN wiring loom and has to be coded into the car - i remember reading somewhere that the towbar was about £130 and the electrics were £250 then there is fitting and coding but wouldnt have thought it came to £2k. i think there might be some misunderstanding somewhere

i have just found a quote from autobytel - as an option on a new a6 avant the towbar is £630 and i think u will find that the towbar is fitted at the dealer before delivery rather than at the factory - therefore u would assume that the price for retrofitting the towbar would be around the same price
