Outside the vehicle, run the Rear
Harness (C) from the grommet
location to the Trailer Socket
following existing vehicle wiring
where possible. Secure with supplied
cable ties.
Note: Rear harness can be trimmed at
the trailer socket end if too long. Do not
trim before completing routing to trailer
socket.
Important Avoid areas around fuel or
brake lines and any moving
parts.
Before commencing work, examine
vehicle for suitable cabin entry point for
all wiring - preferably using an
existing vehicle grommet in front of
passenger or to passengers left-hand
floor space.
If no suitable vehicle grommet is found,
you must drill a 25mm hole in the floor
adjacent to the left hand sill and use the
supplied grommet. In this case, move the
seat and lift the carpet and check
above and below for any wiring or areas
to avoid. Drill 25mm hole, de-burr and
protect against rust.
Important Make a note of all Radio
settings (Confirm Security
Code if applicable).
• Find a suitable location on the
dash or gearshift surround to install
the Remote Head, ensuring clear
space to any moving parts or wiring.
Note: If your vehicle has unused switch
locations, check the REDARC website for
availability of a suitable Tow-Pro Switch
Insert.
• Route the CAT 5 cable (E) from the
Main Unit to the Remote Head
location (Refer Figure B).
• Use the supplied template to drill the
two 4mm pilot holes and then 25mm
hole.
• Insert the Remote Head into the
switch fascia (from behind) and
secure the nut using a 12mm
socket. Rotate the shaft fully
anti-clockwise and fit the knob with
“0” upwards.
• Feed the CAT 5 cable through the
hole and connect to the rear of
Remote Head (ensuring positive
lock). Press the assembly into the hole
securely. Secure the CAT 5 cable with
cable ties as required.
