Integrated Towbar Wiring Kit - Citroen C8 Feb 2009 onwards
Description
"Dedicated towbar wiring systems are manufactured for specific vehicle models and are non-interchangable between models. Developed to perfectly integrate into the vehicle's existing systems to allow usage of inbuilt safety features and preserve the integrity of multiplexed or CAN-Bus circuitry.
Because each kit is dedicated to specific vehicles, installation naturally varies. Where kits plug into the vehicle loom, for example, to manufacturers existing sockets, a matching plug is used for a simple and non-invasive connection. On CAN-Bus systems without existing provision for straight connection, such as VAG group Vehicles, the installation is typically made by feeding the pre-assembled loom into the vehicle and plugging the loom to the CAN-Bus module included with the kit (this might sound complicated, however - to the installer this is simply a case of slotting the plug into the black box). The towing electrics loom is then fed to the fusebox, a fuseholder and fuse inserted into the correct slot in the fuseboard (full instructions provided with each kit). The two twisted control wires are then connected with a splice connector block to the two CAN-Bus signal wires under the dash (again, full instructions are provided).
On towbars not including a socket mounting plate, a seperate socket mounting plate will be required (All our Eclipse detachable kits include a Single socket plate).Note: Vehicle wiring kits can and do vary significantly in installation and the preceding text is a simple illustration of a typical fitting procedure and not a full instruction."
