13 Pin electrics on MY15

Hello .
My MY15 Metro is fitted with 7 pin towbar electrics, I need 13 or twin electrics for my Tourer . I've seen a kit at PF Jones

https://www.pfjones.co.uk/land-rover-freel...g-kit.html

Has anybody fitted this kit? I'm sure if it cancels out the Reverse sensors , which will be most annoying if it doesn't. Many thanks .

Ive always fitted genuine JLR towing looms but they were expensive and now hard to find.
there were 3 versions .Ive had all 3 looms in 3 different FL2s. The looms became easier and easier to fit such that the one for 2014 car was totally plug-n-play. So I imagine yours from PF Jones will be easy too.
But just ring PFJ and ask about the reversing sensors. Jules

To cancel out the reverse sensors you will have a to activate the tow package with JLR SDD and a mongoose cable or use a GAP iid tool or have LR enable it. Do a search on this site and welcome to the FL2/LR2 and JLR SDD and "brown" pants Very Happy

Stussy has a 2014 car so I was hoping it would be like mine - just plug the loom in and away you go; rear sensors deactivated just by connecting everything up per instructions - no need for SSD.
But maybe the PFJones kit is not so clever - I don't know. Jules

Hi, I've got a Nanocom for my D2 but haven't purchased the unlock key for Freelander2.

Hi Jules

I spoke to PFJones and they didn't know if it cancelled out the rear parking sensors πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Towing electrics were fully plug and play from Model Year 13 - with Land Rover’s own electrics. The Land Rover kit disabled the rear parking sensors and the car's rear fog lights and enabled the dashboard trailer indicator lamp.

No idea to what extent third party kits replicate those functions though.

^^^ Great news, to the OP, then it's plug and play, 30-40 minute job and there are posts on this site on how to remove the boot inner trim!
My 2008 year class required activation to disable the R sensors with trailer in tow.
Thumbs Up

Great if the car has 12N/12S (twin 7 pin) electrics and the caravan has 13 pin…

… but it isn't going to turn single 7 pin electrics (↓ ↓ ↓ as per the OP ↓ ↓ ↓ ) into twin or 13 pin electrics.

I think this is the kit you need… VPLFT0106 - Freelander 2 - DH onwards. Β£136.plus delivery.

My car {MY13) is 'DH' and the image looks pretty much like the kit I fitted way back in 2014.

Well done Reggie - beat me to it.
When I bought my VPLFT0106 loom in 2015 it cost Β£117.60 so its not gone up too much really Jules

Ah, misread initial post, assumed twin 7 pin electrics like mine. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Can't remember what mine cost but it was offset by the private sale (on here iirc) of the electrics from my MY10 car.

The LR detachable tow bar from that car is on my current car and both the tow bar and the earlier electrics were a dealer fitted freebie.
