Awesome - thanks for that.

I'm not much of an auto-sparky - but I'll take the comments along to the auto-electrician I'm seeing today and see how we get on.

Appreciate the help.

Hi, Yes I got it fitted OK. It will work as long as you have the towbar controller fitted. That is the box that sits between the towlights and the computer. $330 from memory when I got the towbar fitted. The trick was that the brake signal to the controller has to go to the brake light at the rear of the car and not to the brake pedal switch. I presume that they ran it to the trailer side of the control box. It was the first they had fitted so it took quite a while. If your local guys say it can't be done then they haven't tried. Tell them to call the guys in Orange NSW cause they did it and did a great job of it too.
