Again, as per your other 2 posts, we need a VIN to help you. For this query, can you also confirm if you need electrics and towbar?

Ok, so this is the recommended harness. It contains the BSR EV unit (trailer module unit that will talk to the BSI and ABS / ESP system)

Info:
  • Compatible on all the vehicles from start of series; To fit the fuse, consult the additional doc; Harness fitted with a BSR EV; Non-Contractual Photo.
Description
  • Harness supplied with:
  • 1 x 13-pin socket plus fixings;
  • 1 fitting instructions;
  • 1 BSR EV.
Technical Characteristics:
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and especially the tightening torques indicated in the installation manual.
  • It is essential that the jack be removed from its housing in the spare wheel to be stored in the boot.
  • This harness takes account of the features of the vehicle, thus ensuring safety, reliability and simplicity of fitting.

These are the related parts numbers / options that are compatible:

That's correct - the 942867 is not listed under any part or accessory for your specific C4 Picasso. :-D

The proper one should automatically deactivate rear parking sensors and tell the ABS/ESP ECU that you are towing, so that it can implement a special stability programme for towing. It should also be fully compatible with your car's electronic multiplexed architecture.
