Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if trailer connector cable parts fit my car?

Use your vehicle details (make, model, engine) to confirm fitment before ordering trailer connector cable parts. Matching the exact engine variant helps you choose the correct part first time.

OEM vs aftermarket trailer connector cable: what's the difference?

OEM parts match the original equipment specification. Aftermarket parts from quality brands are compatible alternatives that often meet or exceed OE standards at a lower price.
