DEDICATED WIRING KITS

- Dedicated wiring kits consists of a vehicle-specific wiring harness and control unit with vehicle connectors and relays designed to fit and operate specifically with your vehicle.

- Most kits consist of a trailer control unit, loom with corresponding plug-in connectors, power and communication cables, fully detailed vehicle specific pictorial instructions and a high quality 7 or 13 pin socket. In addition, you will also find a number of cable ties, fuses, and grommets necessary to complete the installation.

- Dedicated wiring kits are better than universal kits because dedicated kits are specially designed to work in harmony with your vehicle's electrical system. Some will communicate with other vehicle control units to alter other vehicle settings accordingly. This will also activate the dash trailer indicator warning light, deactivate parking aids and the rear fog lamps. These are model dependant features.

- "Dedicated wiring kits are generally not that difficult to fit, much depends on the vehicle make and model. In some cases, a high degree of expertise is required. If the installation is beyond your capability, we STRONGLY recommend you have it installed by your dealer as re-code the vehicle may be required."

-The benefit of a dedicated kit, is that when you tow the kit will alter (model dependent) the vehicle systems such as the trailer stability control program, suspension settings, traction control and anti-lock braking.

- Dedicated wiring kits operate three types of warning devices (model dependant), an audible beeper, a visual dash warning light when indicating and the original indicator warning light will flash at twice the usual rate when a trailer indicator has failed.

- In most cases, a dedicated kit will perform the full light functions after correct installation and a recode will not be required. However, if you wish to benefit from the additional safety features and other functions, then a recode may be required. 

To summarise a dedicated kit:
- Is quick and simple to connect to the socket in the vehicle.
- Has reliable connections which continue to function faultlessly for many years.
- Comes complete with all required components and electronic modules.
- There are no conflicts with the other electronics of the vehicle.
- There is no risk of damage to the vehicle wiring.
- Comes with a detailed assembly manual with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions.
