Question:
Hi, I am installing a hitch in an 04 Audi A4 Avant-wagon and I am wondering if I need to get a trailer wiring kit with or without a converter for the initial installation. The owners manual says do not connect the trailer light system directly to the light system of the vehicle...if that has anything to do with it? Thanks
