Expert Reply:
All of the parts you mentioned are a fit for your 2012 Chevy Sonic. The base plate kit part # 523173-4 is a confirmed fit and the other parts like the Roadmaster tow bar part # RM-520, safety cables # RM-643, and braking system # RM-9400 are a great fit. Since you will be using a magnetic light kit you don't need the relay # RM-88400 though.
