Default Wiring for MGZT saloon towbar

Hi Everyone
Happy New Year.
I have a tow bar and socket for my 2003 MGZT saloon. Has anybody got the wiring kit/loom etc for this?
Best wishes
Bob

If you want genuine I think you will be very very lucky to get one.

My comment would be not to make pin 9 a permanent live from the car as leaving a caravan connected could flatten the cars battery.

Cable, split charger (TEC3M) and by pass relay (TEB7AS) can be easily sourced

Is your car a face lift or pre face lift?
I ask as I understand depending of the set of clocks you have, you can monitor the trailer lights by using a BMW towing relay, part number 61.35-8 369 019 and adding an extra wire between I cant recall and the LSM.
I have not done it but check the forum and there is one or may be two threads about it. It is on my list of to do jobs
