  • Parts Needed to Install the Prodigy RF Brake Controller on a 2004 Porsche Cayenne
  • In order to use the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller - Proportional - Trailer Mounted, # TK94FR, your 2004 Porsche Cayenne will have to have a 7-Way connector. If you do not have a 7-way connector on your vehicle then you will need a 7 and 4 way installation kit # ETBC7. You will need to plug your 4-way connector into the ETBC7 and run the black power wire to the vehicle battery and ground the white wire. You will have two additional wires, blue and purple, and those will just need...

  • 4-Way Flat Connector Needed for a 2013 Porsche Cayenne
  • We do have a way that you can add a 4-Way flat connector to your 2013 Porsche Cayenne, but unfortunately there are no T-Connectors available. This is not a very common vehicle so it not very easy for manufacturers to get it in to develope wiring kits for it. The Heavy Duty upgraded ZCI version, part # 119250KIT that you referenced, is a universal fit that only requires connecting to the various light signals behind your tail lights. I recommend going with the ZCI wiring kit as it is...

  • Parts Needed to Add 5-Way to 2017 Porsche Macan
  • It is not uncommon for a 4-way like the # 119250KIT to be stored in the rear hatch and hang down over the top of the rear bumper. Although it may not be not ideal, sometimes it is necessary and the best option for installation. It looks like we did an installation on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne where we were able to feed the 4-way down to stick out underneath the rear bumper. Your 2017 Porsche Macan is not exactly the same, but that is likely that you can do the same. I recommend checking...

  • Trailer Wiring And Ball Mount For A 2015 Porsche Macan S
  • If you don't already have trailer wiring for your 2015 Porsche Macan S, you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. This wiring harness will not require you to cut or splice into your factory wiring, but will just simply plug in line with your harness, and provide your vehicle with a 4-pole trailer connector. Finally, you're going to need a ball mount. What you'll want to do is measure the rise and drop...

  • Is There A Radio That Can Operate On An Inverted DC Output?
  • All of our radios, like the Jensen RV Stereo w/ DVD Player # JWM45 operate on 12V DC. If you're meaning you have a converter to convert AC to DC then this will work, however, if you have AC only then this would not work and you'd need to convert it to DC.

  • Trailer Connector Adapter to Fix Bulb Out Sensor of 2014 Porsche Cayenne and Trailer with LED Lights
  • I am not sure what the strange connector is on your 2014 Porsche Cayenne but it should have the standard 7-Way blade style on it. Adapter # C57003 is designed to solve that bulb out issue. But if your trailer does not have the 7-Way blade style connector then in addition to this adapter you would need either another adapter or replace the 7-Way output end of the above adapter with the correct vehicle side connector that is compatible with your trailer. So that begs the questions: what...

  • How To Get A 5 Way Flat Connector And Hitch Receiver On A 2013 Porsche Cayenne
  • For a hitch receiver I suggest the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75950. It has a 750 pound max tongue weight and a 7,500 pound gross trailer weight. It is a bolt on, no drilling, install that takes about 1-1/2 hours to install. For your wire harness I recommend the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with Installation Kit # 119250KIT to give you a connection then use the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way...

  • Can I Use a Roof Top Tent on a 2020 Porsche Cayenne with Factory Thule Crossbars
  • It does look like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo's factory crossbars are a Thule Aeroblade style setup with a maximum capacity of 220-lbs (dynamic capacity), so you can use a rooftop tent like the Thule Tepui Low-Pro 2 Rooftop Tent # TH8001LP204 without any issues since they're designed to fit on the aero style bars. You will want to confirm the static load capacity of your roof in your Porsche's owner's manual, but these tents with ladders do a great job of dispersing the weight in the tent...

  • Trailer Hitch and Brake Controller for 2017 Porsche Cayenne
  • I'll start off by saying that no trailer hitch will allow you to control the brakes on a trailer; in order to operate the brakes on a trailer you need a brake controller and 7 way connector installed on your Porsche Cayenne. None of these components will communicate with the vehicle's internal computers in order to help the transmission, though. Since you've already chosen the Stealth Hitch # SH57FRT, you're well on your way to getting on the road, but there are a few other components...

  • Self-Locking, Aluminum, Adjustable Ball Mount with 1-7/8 and 2 Inch Balls for 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
  • It may be more drop and rise that you need but it sounds to me like the Fastway, part # DTALBM7007, is going to be what you're looking for. It's self-locking, aluminum, fits a 2 inch hitch receiver, and includes a dual hitch ball with a 1-7/8 inch and a 2 inch. It does provide up to 10 inches of drop or 11 inches or rise. Your other option is # DTALBM6407 which offers a 4 inch drop or 5 inch rise. This is a better option for you than the product you asked from. It will be a better...

  • 7-Way to 4-Pole Trailer Connector Adapter for 2013 Porsche Cayenne
  • If your Cayenne has the 7-way connector, you will simply need an adapter to convert it to a 4-pole. Because your Cayenne is equipped with a bulb-out sensor, if your trailer has LED lamps you will need to use an adapter with a resistor in it like part # C35FR. LED lamps draw very little power, and fool the bulb-out sensor into thinking a bulb is burned out. This will make the turn signals hyper-flash. If your trailer uses incandescent lamps, you can use any of the other 7-way to 4-pole...
