Towbar on. Nice job. Far enough out that it makes opening the tailgate easier with the bike rack on (just needs sliding back about half way - atera rack is really neat, 6 years old and still going strong), slight panic as it was a 13 pin not 7 as per my trailer but then I remembered the trailer was a 13 originally with a converter I prised off - everything works, select reverse I get a trailer picture on the screen and no parking sensor noise

What I don't get is any 'noise' when indicating but frankly I don't care. Just happy to be able to put the bike on the trailer now and not risk mashing the inside. I'll be towing my little 6ish foot trailer this weekend as well to go to the tip. Happy Days

Oh and the reason I'm so pleased is what happened when I chose a non-dealer towbar fitting for my 2 day old Honda a few years ago http://pickled-hedgehog.com/?page_id=24

Alex you'll find if a trailer indicator bulb fails you will get a bulb fail light and a double flash rate, the same as if a bulb had failed on the car. This replaces the conventional buzzer you would get with a universal wiring kit

Thanks for the info.
