  • 7 Pole Plug For A 2017 Porsche Macan S
  • To add 7 pole to your 2017 Porsche Macan S, since there is not an OEM wiring harness that is compatible and you have to use Item # 119250KIT, I recommend adding Item # ETBC7L. This kit plugs directly into your four pole plug and comes with everything to connect to the battery. This kit also allows you to use a wireless brake controller like Item # C51180. Using a wireless brake controller does not require you to run any additional wires to the inside of the vehicle.

  • Will the Snow Cables # PW1046 Damage My Rims on My 2020 Macan with 295/40-20 Wheels?
  • With the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1046, I definitely recommend using tensioners. The Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Passenger Vehicles # TCMA1 will work great on your 295/40-20 tires. The tensioners will not only keep continuous tension on the cables, but they will also ensure that the cables are fitted properly in order to decrease the probability of loose fitting (which can cause scratches to your spider wheel rims). In order to make sure that the cables...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit For 2018 Porsche Macan

  • 2" Receiver Hitch That Fits 2020 Porsche Macan
  • There is a receiver hitch available that will fit your 2020 Porsche Macan, however, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III 2" # C13136 that you mentioned is not confirmed to fit. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III 2" # 75940 is an excellent hitch and has been confirmed to fit your 2020 Porsche Macan. This receiver hitch has a maximum weight capacity of 5000lbs and a tongue weight of 750lbs, which is more than enough for the towing capacity of the Macan. It has...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2017 Porsche Macan
  • I do have a brake controller that will work well with your 2017 Porsche Macan but the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR is not a confirmed fit. Instead, I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 as this is one of our most highly rated, well reviewed, and easy to use brake controllers. If you do not have the factory tow package on your Macan, then you will also need to install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer...

  • Brake Controller For A 2015 Porsche Macan
  • to add a brake controller to your 2015 Porsche Macan, if you do not have them already, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C13136 and the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness Item # 119250KIT. This wiring harness does not require splicing into factory wiring. I have include a link to a video on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne to give you an idea of how it installs. The color of the wires and routing it may be a little different for your vehicle. In order to use a brake controller...

  • Trailer Wiring For A 2017 Porsche Macan
  • For your 2017 Porsche Macan I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit Item # 119250KIT. There is not an OEM wiring harness however; this harness connects to your factory wiring. The nice thing about this harness is it doesn't require you to splice into the wiring. Each function has a small box that the factory wire is placed in. The box reads the power running through the wire which provides the signal to the four...

  • Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2016 Porsche Macan
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" item # SH84FRT is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Porsche Macan. This hitch comes with a 7-Way, blade-style connector which mounts beneath the hitch to power your trailer's signal lights. It connects directly to the battery to avoid overloading your Porsche's electrical system. It is the passive wiring system. We do not have the active. I have attached a picture. It also comes with a ball mount and ball.

  • 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed to fit a 2023 Porsche Macan T and Carry 2 E-Bikes
  • I recommend using the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH84FR which is confirmed to fit your 2023 Porsche Macan T. This will give you a 2" removable receiver so you will not have the end of the receiver exposed like you get with the Draw-Tite # 75940 when you are not carrying your bikes. If you feel you might also tow a trailer you can get the Kit # SH84FRT which I see you found as it includes the Towing Kit # SH79FR. The towing kit includes a ball mount and the wiring needed to operate...

  • Can I Tow a Bass Boat With the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on a 2016 Porsche Macan
  • As long as your 2016 Porsche Macan is not a GTS model, you can use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH84FRT to tow your bass boat. You will need this version of the stealth hitch because the other model is just for bike racks or cargo carriers. Your 2016 Porsche Macan has a towing capacity of 4409 lbs and the stealth hitches have a 600 lb maximum tongue weight and 6000 lb maximum trailer weight. With your trailer and boat at 3200 lbs...

It plugs into the 7-way on your 2021 Porsche Macan s and allows you to use your smart phone as the controller. It will work on trailers with 1 or 2 axles.

  • Can Thule Hullavator or Another Kayak Carrier be Installed on a 2017 Porsche Macan Factory Roof Rack
  • The Thule Hullavator kayak carrier # TH898 does not fit factory roof rack crossbars because it requires that the bars stick out past the mounting foot 4 to 8 inches. Factory roof racks do not have this feature. Another option that you may like is the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD with the Telos load assist # MPG351XL. This combination will also provide a load assist feature for loading/unloading the kayak. You could use 2 of the DownLoaders, one on each side of the vehicle, but you would...

  • Can Factory Trailer Wiring Harness on 2015 Porsche Macan Deliver 40-Amps Current for Chair Lift
  • Since we do not sell the OEM wiring harness that was factory installed in your 2015 Porsche Macan you can determine its amperage capacity by checking with your dealership or by seeing what value fuse is associated with it. It is NOT likely that the wiring harness can deliver 40-amps especially if the vehicle uses low-power-demand LED lighting. You'll also want to confirm the actual power draw from the lift's motor; is the 40-amps continuous or peak current draw? Tri-Lift offers several...

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Fit a 2021 Porsche Macan S Model
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940 will fit your 2021 Porsche Macan S. It looks like Draw-Tite recently (December 2021) updated their fit list to include the 2021 model and if you check out the attached clip from the linked instructions you can see that there are provisions for cutting the fascia on the S model. If you are planning on towing with this vehicle then you need wiring like the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit like part # 989900. If the purpose...

  • Trailer Hitch Confirmed to Fit a 2020 Porsche Macan S Model
  • I do have another option for you, but your local installer is correct that the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940 excludes the S model of the Porsche Macan. The only hitch that we have that fits the S model of the 2020 Porsche Macan is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH84FR. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH84FR includes a removable receiver that allows you to have a fully concealed look when removed. The removable receiver will allow you to carry...

  • How to Carry Skis and Snowboards with the Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack
  • In order to carry skis using your Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack you will want to use the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier part # Y02418, not the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter part # TH9033. I can't confirm the Thule Tram will work with the Yakima DoubleDown but I can confirm that the Yakima HitchSki will. It is more cost effective than the Thule Tram and also lets you carry up to 6 pairs of skis, or 4 snowboards, or 3 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards. I have attached...

  • Can I Use ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness On 2018 Porsche Macan
  • We have not yet had a chance to install the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit part # 119250KIT on 2018 Porsche Macan but it is a confirmed fit. We have not had any bad reviews regarding the kit installed in a Porsche Macan. The installation is pretty simple because the sensors clamp onto the factory wiring instead of splicing.

  • Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH2004705265 do fit the 265/40-21 size tires on your 2016 Porsche Macan and they also fit over a dozen other tire sizes too. These chains use a diamond-shaped pattern on their cross chains that tends to provide better sideways grip. All chains that fit your size tires are shown on the linked page.
