What are Dedicated Electric Kits?

Dedicated Electric Kits, also known as ‘dedicated wiring looms’, ‘vehicle specific’ or ‘plug in kits’, are today becoming ever more popular for towbar electric installations. These are the correct kit that can be fitted to the vehicle. As it is, designed to interact with the towing relate features on the vehicle whilst towing. A universal option does not offer this level of function.

The dedicated kit will take advantage of your vehicles native C2 function, be it audio or visual. Which is required by law.

Each dedicated kit has been specifically designed for the vehicle to connect the towbar wiring. Dedicated kits interact with the vehicle’s systems in the same way as the vehicle manufacturer intended. Due to the complexity of a dedicated wiring, it is obvious that this kit is more expensive than the alternative universal option.

Dedicated kits are designed for specific vehicles. Rather than soldering or using ‘Scotch Locks’ to connect the towbar wiring. Unlike universal aftermarket wiring.

Dedicated kits interface with the vehicle systems in the same way as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Previously fitting an electric kit to a vehicle involved simply connecting to the rear lights. Modern vehicles have complex wiring systems and advanced safety features that are computer controlled. Therefore, fitting an electric kit is no longer a simple process.

It is essential to choose the right electrics to suit your towing needs, whether you are towing a caravan, trailer, cycle carrier or anything else. We recommend contacting us on info@towingcentres.com, to confirm your requirements before making a purchase.
