Hey Leehan, that is a great question. I double checked with our installers, and I was told that the hole used on this 2012 Fiat 500 was naturally occurring and not drilled. There was a hole located above/left of the gas pedal. If you pull back the carpet/insulation, you should see a plugged hole that can be used for the vacuum line and wiring for the Domco SMI Stay-IN-Play # SM99251. Unfortunately, we do not have any photos or videos showing the exact location.

Hey Phil, so we may have a few potential options, but I will be honest with you, we do not really have any base plate installers that are very close to you. Our closest would be like the Bakersfield or Pase Robles area. I have linked our installer locator below. You can enter your zip code and see the installers closest to you. Central cost RV in Paso robles or Toscano RV center in Los Banos would be the two I recommend, but you can always call any of them and see what they say. view full answer...

Since the Curt # C58911 and # C56174 use the same connection points you will not be able to install both at the same time. If you really want to swap them out when you tow/flat tow you can but that is going to be a big hassle. Instead, I recommend using the # C59236 which splices in for installation. It isn't ideal when there is a plug and play option but it will let you keep both installed on your vehicle. view full answer...
Hey Jerry, if the Saris Freedom bike rack was the Saris Freedom Super Clamp # SA4025F yes the replacement tilting base part # SAR56VR would be correct fit but if it's the standard Freedom it does not work. view full answer...
