Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2009 Honda Fit
Question:
I was given a rarely used Stay-In-Play system from someone that sold their RV. It doesnt have the breakaway switch and fused power lead. Is this kit all I need to install it on my 2009 Honda Fit Automatic? What tow bar and base plate would you suggest? I was looked at the Blue OX ones. What other parts do I need? A wiring kit, fuse bypass, and breakaway cable?

Since you have the SMI DUO # SM99251 currently all you need to install it in your 2009 Honda Fit is the part # SM6270 and you'd be set. For a base plate kit the Blue Ox part # BX2253 would be what you'd want with the Avail tow bar part # BX7420.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
