Love your work

Excellent video, thank you. Looking forward to your towing video with this car. Will you be installing a brake controller in the EV9 for the towing test? If so, I'd love to see some more information on that in the next vid.

I wonder if you get the electric brake kit installed if it only detects trailers with electric brakes. Hope not. Currently I have manually disabling the sensors and hoping that I am not doing any damage to the car...

What is the wiring harness that you used? Where can I buy it?

I would go to this website and email them. if they cannot get it to you they will probably know someone who can. evstealthsolutions.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOorqOcwixyXV5hqFE240faM0mhskk_qqi4WdDrtkJgUM6UQyrdOa
