Trailer Hitch install?

Has anyone added either the OEM trailer hitch or a aftermarket unit setup?

The physical hitch install seems pretty straight forward, with the exception of having to trim the rear valance for the actual receiver.

The bigger question for me is the wiring. I *assume* that Porsche sells a kit with all the necessary wiring/modules/relays (and whatever other bits are required) and its just a matter of disassembling whatever is required to plug them in, correct?

What about the aftermarket unit. There does not appear to be any wiring adapters that I could find for the 2010 Cayenne, such that you can usually find for other vehicles. I really only need the 4-wire flat trailer connections (brake/running/turn signal).

Has anyone done this to their Cayenne, either OEM or aftermarket?

Thanks!

Be sure to search this forum -- this topic has been covered and a lot of great info exists here on Renntech.

Update -- I jut searched "trailer" and three pages of results resulted. I think you will be well covered reading those existing posts. One section covers the aftermarket options.

Just wanted to point out that the after market hitches are not rated as high in weight capacity that the factory hitches.
