Now then, i have a rubbish bulb trailer board right and it is 7 pin, so I buy the correct adaptor for 5 quid or a new 13 pin board? boards are available 3ft 4ft 6ft and bulb, led and reflectors and reverse and fog lights :shock: my favourite is the caravan socket that looks quite fancy, but you need 8 or 10 core wire to get it all working on the 13 pin system, adapted 7 pin won't have reverse.
I can modify my own trailer board from the 6ft 1 with 8 core and 10m cable 51 quid then shorten it a bit by removing all of the lights and adding the caravan ones 13 quid. Might work might not.
But then 65 quid and you still have the sh*t plastic board that splits when you chuck it on the floor then stand on it next time you're looking for a 10 mill socket in this dump that needs a good clean :?
You need a nice carbon fibre board :P then if you go that far consider this, you need a good system to attach it to the back of a car because some tape on the wiper only works for a wee while :( some strong magnets you need but don't scratch the paint.
The bloody cable is heavy too can't we do away with that and add a battery and wireless function? Obd2 socket with wireless and press the battery indicator on the trailer board that lights up how much power you have left :P
Wow plug and play man think of the money we'd make. 8)

Right get onto it, might need Airthies for programming, Ned for advertising and gcm for the ppl who may have objections, he's persuasive you know :D

Don't need pat pend we have copyright 70 quid :mrgreen:

No it's the same kit. I paid 130 quid for my wiring kit just to give me a tow bar wiring and that's the issue we're talking about. All I need now is a cable trailer board, I have 1 but my converter is the opposite way around so I just need a converter, 5 quid.

The wireless kit needs to fit in cars that have no tow socket or wiring and minimal adapting.

Requirements, pairing wireless between transmitter and lights, universally fitting on any car either obd or plug and play connection to the rear lights.
