Dedicated Electric Kits
Dedicated Vehicle Specific Wiring kits, sometimes known as 'dedicated wiring looms' or 'plug in kits', are becoming ever more popular for towbar wiring installation.
What Are Dedicated Electric Kits?
These kits in most instances, where the features are present on the vehicle, interact with the built-in safety features on the vehicle whilst towing. Also they can disable factory fitted parking aids.
Each kit is designed specifically for the vehicle that it is fitted to, and rather than soldering or using 'Scotch Locks' to connect the towbar wiring, which is the case with universal aftermarket wiring, these kits interface with the vehicle systems in the same way as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
These kits are manufactured for the specific vehicle and connect to the manufacturer's correct fitting points.
Please note: Re-programming of the vehicle with correct software may be necessary to gain these functions where applicable.
