Question:
Hello all, I recently bought a European Bike rack with lights. My SUV has a standard US 7 pin Female connector port and the US 4 Way Plug. The Connector on the Bike Rack has a European 8 Pin Male Connector Twist Type. I have pics. Do you have a connector for this? Thanks,

Hello Andrew, thanks for getting in touch. Sadly, we do not carry any kind of adapter for this European 8-pin plug. Pretty much everything we carry is intended for the North American market so the standard 7-way and 4-flat mostly.
Since we do not have an adapter for you, the best solution we can offer would be to replace the European style plug on your bike rack with a standard 7-way plug like part # PK12706. You would just need to make sure you pin the wires correctly. I have included the diagram below for your reference.
Leave a reply below with any questions or comments and I will get back to you.

Hey Andrew, how did things go after switching your bike rack to the standard 7-way plug? Knowing what worked might help others trying to connect European racks to U.S. vehicles.
