Screws into the Tow hitch receiver behind the rear license plate on many Porsche models. The chains from the trailer hook onto the opening in the tow hitch. Used on my 09 Cayman S

Wow, that's a good idea. A bit ghetto, but interesting in any case
I wonder however the safety of it as its not a DOT rated tow connection
Sure, you can pull the car onto a flatbed from there, but I don't think it was ever intended to be used to tow a trailer
YMMV

I have received some PM's inquiring about purchasing the tow ball hitch. However for me, it was what made me make the initial purchase . It saved me several hundred dollars versus standard hitch and install costs. So for now it's only available with the trailer purchase. If a buyer does not need the hitch, price reduced and then the ball/hitch will be sold separately.

I'm not sure if anyone else has a similar one, let's see. However I have used it for the last two seasons without any issue. You will also attach the safety chain onto the tow hook eye opening.

Given the weight and only occasional use it appears safe. Obviously you remove your car plate to use the "tow eye", did you reattach the Cayman plate anywhere to make it visible? The trailer is plated and titled independently? Did you tie the trailer lights into the Cayman or did they stay dark?

Yes you have to remove the Cayman rear licensed plate to install the tow hitch. I stored the plate in the tool box, since it is not visible with the trailer attached. Never had an issue, since the trailer is well lit and it's plate is clearly visible. The trailer was registered and Inspected. The trailer license plate is simply screwed to the back of the trailer. The lights all work and are hooked up with a module to work with the Cayman brake lights etc.
Module included.

Nice!
I always get a chuckle when I see a Boxster or Cayman towing a tire trailer.
It just looks funny
Too bad your not in So Cal, I know a few people that would be interested
