Option 1 D8 is factory trailer preperation.

Please don't stop there, I'd like to learn more.

Where did you hear something silly like that?

P.S. You forgot the roll of racer's tape and a case of D batteries

I'm sure you can print the TSB off the internet, there are two:

6690 6/04 Dated 07.09.04

6690 27/07 Dated 08.15.07 (this is revised one) and is only for Cayenne's with trailer hitch "preparation"

It does matter which year the hitch is being installed on.

There are a couple of others

I know at least one person in an 06 with a u-haul hitch. The wiring they supplied and fitted work just fine.

My hitch cost $150 + $500 to the dealer for wiring. I did it before u-haul had the kit
