Default First Mod - Tow Adapter Install

  1. Does the wiring come with the hitch receiver as a standard option or is it an add-on I need to get? If it's the latter, is it a porsche-OEM product?

Thanks!

Opened the metal plate yesterday to find a 7 pin receiver, but not the basic blade variety I expected to find there. I've attached a picture
Did they install the proper stuff? Where do I find an adapter? I spent yesterday morning at all my local auto parts places looking for one. Any advice appreciated.

No, of course it's not for me, I'm trying to help a fellow forum member.

For those of you who purchased a Cayenne with factory tow option (1D6 or 1D8):

Did your dealer install the 7 pin Pollack connector (under the rear bumper, next to tow receiver) for free during PDI, or did they charge you for the part?

Thank you.
Ordered the parts from elecDirect.com

- 7-Pole Nylon RV Socket, 12V, 30 AMPS
- 7-Pole Blade to 4-Pole molded connector w/tethered cap



This is what (hopefully) falls out as you remove the blanking cover (held with 4 screws)



Here is what the final install looks like withe the 7-4 way adapter plugged in:
