Question:
I am purchasing a 2017 Fiat 500 Pop to flat tow. Does this require a battery charge line? My other vehicle requires a charge line but in my research people are saying the Fiat doesn’t need one. Thank you Jeff

Hey Jeff, I did some research and it does not look like your 2017 Fiat 500 requires a charge line. The only wiring that is required is a 12v outlet kit # RM-9332 for a supplemental braking system, a universal wiring kit # RM-152, and a stop light switch kit # RM-751455.
If you're interested in completing the setup, you'll also need a base plate # 522013-1A with the adapter # 910021-00, a tow bar # RM-522, and a braking system # RM-8700.
If you need anything else, feel free to leave a comment and I'd be happy to help!
