Aftermarket Wiring
Universal Aftermarket Wiring Kits are compatible with most vehicles and support the basic electrical functions needed for towing. If you have a tight budget and schedule, a universal wiring kit is cheap, quick to install and can provide you with all of the basic components needed for towing.
However, as a universal wiring kit only provides the basic requirements, functionality is limited. Universal wiring kits are not suitable for most modern cars with sophisticated electrical systems as they can not support vehicle specific functions. Additionally, if your vehicle is still under warranty, installing a universal towbar wiring kit could affect your warranty as it does not meet specific manufacturer requirements. You will also need to install a towbar wiring bypass relay if you have a modern vehicle with a complex electrical system.
Warranty Considerations
In order to protect the warranty on a new vehicle, the manufacturer will normally insist that any towbar wiring must be the same as supplied by themselves. Universal Aftermarket Wiring would not meet this requirement, so to protect the warranty on a new car we advise istalling Vehicle Specific Towbar Wiring.
