Trailer Electrics
Today I tried to use my Evoque to pull my windsurf trailer and find that I have a 13pin socket on the car and a 7 pin plug on the trailer................... It will be easier to change the trailer plug to a 13 pin than to change the car socket, but is it possible/ safe? The 13 pin I believe is used for caravans, but what are all those extra pins used for?
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Yes, it would be safe. You can purchase a 13-pin to 7-pin adapter if you don't want to rewire the plug.

RE: Trailer Electrics
Thanks Donny, I'm off to the trailer centre forthwith, also thanks for the wiring diagram.
