Tow Package Wiring

Tow Package Wiring
Hello, I recently bought an 06 Turbo S that has the tow package which was important to me because I often pull a boat. So I figured with the Tow package it would be ready to go like most tow packages. Hitch is there but where the wiring plugs should be there is a square cover with 4 screws. I figured oh great I have to buy something. I called the local Porsche dealer and the service guy said, oh just take the 4 screws off and everything is there. You will just need one of those round adapters (Which I already own). So I unscrew the 4 screw it is not all there. It looks like I need to add a kit or something. Anyone know what that kit is and where to get it for a good price?

Yep. This is the Pollak version that I use. Just make sure to put dielectric grease on the pins to prevent them from rusting when not in use.

That cover should release. The only item you should need is the 7-pin trailer coupling shown below. For more information Click Here.

Do you have LED trailer lights? If you do, you will need to update the trailer control unit to stop the flashing.

Thanks for the response. My trailer is an led light trailer on the tail lights. Is that a trailer control unit on the car? If so where is that? This trailer works when I plug it into any other car. Is this because it's an 06 and my other cars are newer? Seems odd. I thought this trailer simply used 12 volts. Any more info on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for heading me in the right direction. I may have found a cheaper easier way to quickly resolve this problem. I read a lot of reviews where people were happy they didn't have to rewire or update their vehicle. Will let you know if it works. http://www.etrailer.com/Wiring/Tow-Ready/TR20141.html
