Rewiring a bike rack plug

[Lukep]

I recently got a new car that has the German towbar plug and not the std SA one.

The bike rack I have has the STD plug but came with the plug that I need I just need to know how to rewire it.

Any diagrams or step by step insturctions welcome

When I bought my Passat last year I had the same problem. Went back to the agents and they gave me an adaptor plug. Thule also sells adapter plugs.

You can get adapter plugs from Bosal as well - probably any towbar show has them.

Depending on your negotiation skills, the one from the agents would be free

The adaptor plugs are for changing the "size" of the socket. You will possibly still need to re-wire.

Have you hooked your car up to a local to a trailer to make sure that LH and RH indicators are actually aligned. If not - re-wire the car. I've just gone thru this process myself

This is what you need.

This saved me after arriving in Bonnievale for DC last night realizing I had pulled all the lugs off the connector while loading the bikes, this worked like a charm to figure out where all 7 inners needed to go ????

Best is to get yourself a test light and identify the wires on your current plug and just rewire. If you in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, I will gladly assist you.

Apparently SRAM and Thule are collabing to make the first wireless AXS standalone tail light bike rack product, the tail light cluster connects to an OBD-II dongle. ????

 

Jokes aside the way in which you connect your bike rack light cluster to a car is so primitive, honestly can’t believe the hastle I had to go through to get it working.
