Hitch Install Wiring Question
Hey guys,
Just bought my wife a 2011 Cayenne S.
I'm about to place an order for a Curt hitch and trailer wiring.
I've read a few threads with conflicting info on what is needed.
Do these already have some trailer wiring in them?
What parts/modules do I need to order?
Thanks in advance
Drew

Yes, all you need is the electrical mount. Sun coast sells them for $20. You just take the cover cap off (4 screws) and insert and reinsert 4 screws. Comes with the 7 pin. You really want to go OEM, gives you 7700 # towing capacity. Again, Sun coast sells the kit for $1k.
Do you have the hitch already but no electrical connector? That would be unusual. Also, do you have the receiver w 2" ball? I have a brand new one for sale in the market. GL.

I've looked under there and there is currently no wiring that I can see.
They are wrong. The design isn't even similar.

Has been discussed. Search is your friend.
Here is my journey. https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-...s-missing.html
I have no regrets having the dealer do it all. First rate job. I got two quotes from two dealers and my primary servicing dealer was less expensive by about 12% if I recall.
In theory you could order the kit from Suncoast. last quote from them was $1000ish and included everything. The dealer quoted me 4.5 hours. So I double that for me as I take my time. You would still have to take a trip to the dealer for the PWIS update.
Good luck!
