Dedicated otherwise known as vehicle specific wiring kits, are installed to the manufactures specification, there are many benefits to going dedicated, dedicated wiring will help preserve your vehicles warranty, activate towing assist, and other safety features when your electrics are connected, de-activate parking sensors when your towing as well as a fog light cut out to reduce glare, the features do vary between manufacturers, once fitted if required we can code your vehicle to activate all the hidden safety features.

Some lease companies insist on dedicated wiring, we strongly recommend utilising all your vehicles safety features. Dedicated wiring is not always suitable for led lighting, please let us know if your trailer/caravan has led lights.

Frequently asked questions

 

Q. My caravan is 13 pin and my cycle carrier is 7pin what would you recommend?

A. we would recommend fitting a 13pin socket and using a 7pin adapter when you need to use your cycle carrier


Q. Will my parking sensors be affected?

A. We recommend having a detachable neck, otherwise we can not guarantee the tow bar will not affect your parking sensors, With oem fitted sensors we can check for you to indicate wherever its likely they will be affected or not, however with aftermarket sensors it will depend on where they are located and the sensors itself.


Q. Do I need to tell my insurance I have had a Towbar fitted?

A. We recommend that you notify your insurance that you have had a Towbar fitted, we have not known of any increases to premiums to date, some have actually saved money on their insurance.
