Tow Pack - 2 Sockets
I picked my car up from the dealers last night as it was in having the tow-pack fitted. On returning home I was making sure that I could actually insert the tow-bar, lock the tow bar….etc, I noticed that there are two 7 pin connectors, one with a white cap and the other with a black cap.
Q. Why two? (I presume one is for the trailer board)

They're for different markets.. In Australia we use the power socket not used in Europe. So I expect you should only ever use the one.
It's an expensive after market addition that.. IIRC in Australia to have tow pack fitted at the factory is $500.00, to have it retro fitted by a dealer is around $2000.00,

In the UK the black one is for N type electrics and the white one is for S type electrics. N type are for your lights (tail, brake, indicators, fog) and the S type are for powering the trailer (eg fridge in a caravan etc).
Hope this helps?
