Wiring to new tow bar

Hello,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post so not completely sure this is the
right place for the topic. Anyway here goes.
I have a UK Yaris 1300cc built 2013 which has can bus wiring.
I am in the process of fitting a tow bar with the intention of towing a small trailer and dingy. Fitting the actual tow bar is straightforward but despite lots of research and removing panels, seats etc I have been unable to find any suitable
place to link in the wiring from the tow bar 7 pin plug.
Is there anybody around who can point me in the right?
Thanks for reading this.

This is not exactly what you are looking for but it has enough information for you to figure out the answers. It's all I could find.

Thank you so much for the link.
This is exactly what I was searching for but didn’t think to search internationally.
Thanks again and very best wishes.

I had my tow bar and wiring professionally installed. The wiring includes a module that taps power from a switched fuse in the under dash fuse panel to repeat the lights to the trailer. I presume this is to avoid changing the load on the blinkers, possibly altering the flash rate. It also means I need to turn the ignition on to check the trailer lights.

Glad I was of some help. I'm appreciative of your response as that doesn't happen very often in my experience which has made me reluctant to stick my 2cs in sometimes.
