trailer wiring

[2000F]

I just bought a used electrical trailer hitch for my cayenne turbo 2007, and asked my dealer to install it. But of course some parts were missing. What i have is the complete trailer hitch with wires and so, but missing parts as the dealer told me is bolts for mounting, electric wires from hitch to car and the switch to mount in the right back of the car. Of course it sounded very complicated (expensive) for him to locate these parts, so i was wondering if someone could tell me if it is so, or even better part numbers.

(edit) country is denmark

Thanks in advance

Is the used hitch a Porsche part or another manufacturer?

There is a Porsche TSB which is a 12 page set of instructions on installing the trailer hitch. It is a little complicated (hence the 12 pages).

I have a Touareg that I use to tow my Porsche to the track, the hitch is the same for both vehicles.

The bolts are a single use only bolt and they cost about $8 each from a VW dealer. I am not certain if the VW part is compatible, but the wiring should end in the rear load area, most likely on the Right side of the load area. There is an electrical box that needs to connect inside to the wires to the vehicle and then another wiring harness runs down to the hitch for connecting the trailer. This control box allows the vehicle to control signals and lighting on the trailer, as well it will tell you if you have lighting errors on your trailer. I also installed a brake controller on mine.

It is possible to connect the trailer electronics to the tail lights, but this may cause a voltage issue and start throwing fault codes. Also you are driving a CTT, and this is too cheap of a way to solve the problem
