We do not currently have an adapter that will allow you to connect the European 7-Way connector on your vehicle to a US connector on the trailer. I recommend simply cutting off the 7-Way on your vehicle and replacing it with a standard 7-Way blade connector like the Pollak # PK11893.
You will want to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to determine the functions of the wires by having somebody apply the different brake and tail light functions while you test each wire to check for its function. You will then wire it to the new 7-Way like the picture that I have attached.
