They have an airbag to protect the car behind?
Or is it for when you reverse over any old ladies?

I reckon tow bar as well, the pics in Service Box for towbar wiring are all generic and tiny but it looks like it has a proper connector on the end, rather than just wires or a bunch of scotchlocks.

the plug looks like its only got 4 pins at the most, so cant be for tow bar electrics as that needs at least 6

True. (Unless there's one at the other side too)?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6 -speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
