Expert Answers about Fiat 500


  • Fat Tire EBike Carrier for Fiat 500
  • My suggestion is the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes #TH903202 designed for both 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches. This is rated to carry 2 bike with a weight of capacity 65 lbs per bike and a maximum tire width of 3". The carrier weight itself is 45 lbs. I suggest consideration of the longer bike straps, # TH985101 that allow up to 4-11/16" tires. While there are other options available to meet the weight requirements of your EBikes most are designed to work with a 2" receiver...

  • Installation of Solera Manual Pull Style to Power Awning Conversion
  • The Solera Manual Pull Style to Power Awning Conversion Kit, Black # LC329251 will simply require changing the heads on your awning frame and then wiring the unit. I've attached the photo from the installation manual that specifies how to wire the awning. There are specifics, but the biggest aspect not included in the kit is the wire to the battery and ground. You will want # 12-2-1 sold by the foot for your wiring. I've also attached a link to the instructions to assist.

  • Wiring 2012 Fiat 500 Sport For Flat Towing Behind Motorhome
  • The Tekonsha T-One connector, part # 118546 is actually meant to be installed on your 2012 Fiat 500 so it can tow a trailer. It isn't meant to deliver the taillight/turn/brake lamp signals from your motorhome to the Fiat when it's being towed. In other words, the harness is meant to output taillight signals to a trailer, not to receive taillight signals from a motorhome. To wire your Fiat 500 for flat towing, and also to power your Patriot II and keep the vehicle's battery charges as...

  • 2012 Fiat 500 Recommendation for Carrying Cargo
  • Since you have the panoramic glass roof on your 2012 Fiat 500 we are going to need to go with an alternative solution for transporting cargo as there isn't a roof rack that fits with the glass roof. For your application I recommend installing a trailer hitch and using that to add some cargo carrying room to your vehicle. You can use the Curt Trailer # C11347 if you have the Abarth but if you don't then use the Curt Hitch part # C11363 instead. The # C11347 has a hidden crosstube design...

  • What is Speed Rating for Reese Tow Bar # 63180
  • Tow Ready states that the speed rating for the Tow Ready tow bar part # 63180 is 45 mph. If you go faster than that the inertia of the vehicle can compromise the tow bar in the event of an emergency stop or turn. Since most modern vehicles don't have a flat, metal front bumper like what this requires it's not an ideal solution for most applications. The Roadmaster Stowmaster part # RM-501 is somewhat similar and does not have the same speed rating. It will require you to install a Roadmaster...

  • Will Older Falcon Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster Base Plates for a 2015 Fiat 500 Pop
  • Your Falcon tow bar will work with Roadmaster base plates # 522013-1A for the 2015 Fiat 500 Pop. Most Roadmaster tow bars use that crossbar you mentioned and it is still used for the new versions of the Falcon series. The tow bar, assuming it is in good working order, will work well with your Fiat. No worries, it sounds like you have things under control! If you do not have safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. If you do not yet...

  • How to Carry a Bike Rack with a 2012 Fiat 500 Convertible
  • For your 2012 Fiat 500c, which is the convertible model, I would recommend to use a hitch and a hitch bike rack. A trunk bike rack will not be able to be used on the convertible model. The hitch I would recommend would be the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11363. This hitch will bolt-on to the rear of your vehicle. I am including a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video of the hitch being installed on a Fiat 500. The most popular bike rack we carry that...

  • Dolly Towing a 2016 Fiat 500 Gucci Automatic Transmission
  • That customer asked about the 2017 Fiat 500 FWD. Your 2016 Fiat A/T Gucci according to the owners manual will allow dolly towing with the front wheels off the ground according to the online owners manual on page 305 and page 306 states not to flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission as damage to the drive train will result. A manual transmission vehicle can be flat towed with the transmission in neutral without damage based on the manufacturer design. If you utilize...

  • Can 2013 Fiat 500 with Separate Taillights be Wired for Flat Towing with Diodes for Combined
  • Your situation is a very common one and the solution you proposed is the easiest and most popular solution. Like you mentioned you'd be wiring up the separate taillights to function like combined ones. You'd need a total of 4 diodes which we have that as a 4 pack with part # RM-794. I attached the correct diagram you'd need to use for your application.

  • Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Fiat 500
  • You could use the Thule Arcos Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - 14 cu ft - 110 lbs # TH25YE on your 2012 Fiat 500. It will fit your Curt class 1 hitch # C11363, but you will be limited in the amount of cargo that you can add. The Curt hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. Since the Thule Arcos weighs 110 pound, you could safely add 90 pounds of cargo. It is vital that you do not exceed the weight capacity of the hitch or your Fiat, you will want to make sure...

  • Yes, the draw bar arms on Roadmaster base plates # 522013-1A can be removed when not in use. If you look at the description of the product, second bullet point, it reads "Drawbars are easily removable - just twist and pull." That square part is the draw bar, one on each side.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Fiat 500
  • I recommend the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118546 for your 2012 Fiat 500. This harness plugs in at your taillights and requires only one single wire to be run to the engine compartment where it will connect to the battery positive terminal through the included fuse holder. The linked article will help you with the routing of this one wire. This Tow Ready harness is a powered converter that protects your car's delicate wiring from the risk of shorts or overloads. It provides a 4-pole flat...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • The only available trailer hitch for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11347 so that is what I must recommend. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver will not fit Abarth models. For a bike rack, you will be limited to two bikes because of the hitch rating, the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ is a great option.

  • Can New 12 and 14 Gauge Wire be Used with Existing 10 and 12 Gauge Wiring on Gooseneck Trailer
  • The slight difference in wire gauge between the new part and the existing wiring will be fine. There isn't enough voltage or amperage, to cause any problems. It would be a different story if we were talking about more voltage and/or amperage. But in this case, no worries with the slightly smaller gauge wire.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Fiat 500e Electric Model
  • We definitely have one! For your 2017 Fiat 500 E model, I confirmed with Curt that the Curt Hitch - 1-1/4" # C11363 is the perfect fit for your electric model. Not only does it include a bolt-on installation, it also comes with a superior gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that gives you better protection against rust/corrosion. It is important to note that this hitch only fits non-Abarth models. We do not have a hitch that is compatible with a E model Abarth Fiat 500. If you...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth Convertible
  • Yes, we do have a hitch bike rack solution for your 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth convertible. Let's start with the trailer hitch receiver. Curt offers the Class I, # C11347, for your 2015 Fiat. This custom fit hitch installs with no drilling or welding required. Curt does require the use of Support Straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads including bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. As for a bike carrier,...

  • The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 is confirmed to work on your 2014 Fiat Pop. Unfortunately we don't have a color coding for you either, but I can help you with the easiest way to figure it out. If you pull the tail light and then go though your functions, you will be able to see the bulb, the wire location, and the color. This will help you splice in your functions of your tow bar wiring. With the harness, brown goes to your running lights, green goes to your...
