Can a car be dual wired to have an old fashioned 7 pin alongside the new 13 pin electrics?

The only way you could dual wire is to tap in to whichever you fit and run a second set.

I use a twin to 13 adapter for my new van, easier than purchasing another set of highly priced LR electrics and I don't need to worry about the bike rack too |

as long as you dont connect two plugs at same time (no usual) you are ok if you "double" the electric installation, that is, double wire from the car to the 7 an to the 13 pin socket.

13 Pin has an additional feed i thought - so i could believe something wouldn't work going from the Black/White 7 to 13 pin via an adaptor.

13 pin pinout:
7 pin pinout: ![]() some info here, from LR, to the 7 pin and 13 pin mounting instructions, just trace back the wires to the rear left wheel arch and joint wires as needed form the mounted 13 pin installation to the new 7 pin black plug. http://www.pfjones.co.uk/Wiring_instructions/19190501RC.pdf photo of connector where you could do the wiring:
LR original instrcutions for 7 N-S and 13. http://media.disco3.co.uk/ownerinfo/YWJ500...Towing.pdf http://media.disco3.co.uk/ownerinfo/YWJ500...Towing.pdf you could also look at this: http://www.pfjones.co.uk/towbar-wiring-kit...OA73WdOenA but this systems are based on a non standard installation, with no dealer tow plug activation. it mayb could give you some ideas. but with all the other you could do the dual installation without any problem Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated ![]() |

Yes, I have twin on the car, and the adapter plugs straight in to the caravans 13 and the ATC activates
