UmbraRimorchi 13-pin universal towbar wiring kit C2 module 955.403
Here’s a tidy, no‑nonsense 13‑pin universal wiring kit that gets the job done without all the faff. The UmbraRimorchi C2 interface module is compact, pre‑wired and engineered to make fitting straightforward and far less error‑prone. It’s a proper plug‑in solution for most 12V and 24V vehicles, using modern electronic switching rather than old‑school relays.
what it does for you
If towing feels like a headache, this kit takes most of the hassle out of it. It handles all standard trailer lights and includes a Check Control LED tester so you can quickly verify each circuit. The module senses when the trailer’s not connected and slips into a low‑consumption sleep mode — handy if the towball stays plugged in for days and nobody fancies a flat battery. If an indicator on the trailer fails, the unit automatically diverts the signal to the tail lamp so you stay legal and safe until the fault’s fixed.
key features and benefits
- Universal 13‑pin pre‑wired socket with 1.5m cable for quicker installs and fewer wiring mistakes.
- C2 interface module — ultra‑compact with electronic switching; no mechanical relays to wear out.
- Works with 12V and 24V electrical systems; low‑consumption sleep mode prevents battery drain.
- ISO 6722 compliant wiring, rated from -40°C to +105°C — built to cope with Britain’s best and worst weather.

- CE homologated to directive 2004/104/EC.
what’s in the box
The kit arrives well equipped so you’re unlikely to have to nip back to the shop mid‑fit. Inside you’ll find a pre‑wired 13‑pin socket, the C2 interface module, a mounting plate and gasket, bolts and nuts, scotch‑locks (insulation displacement connectors), fuse holders and fuses, earth terminals, cable ties, a grommet, a jumper and assorted cable lengths for a neat, tidy installation. Full fitting instructions are included.
fit notes and practical tips
This universal wiring suits the majority of standard bumpers, but it’s worth double‑checking before you order. Certain trim levels — Sport, Titanium, Zetec and the like — can need a specific harness, and vehicles with CAN‑BUS or LED rear lights may behave differently. If your car has twin or aftermarket exhausts or uses a stabiliser such as Alko, ask for advice as not every fitting is one‑size‑fits‑all. In short: this kit does a sterling job for most cars and light vans, but when in doubt check fitment details or get some guidance.
typical uses
- Caravan or trailer owners who want a straightforward, robust wiring setup.
- DIY installers fitting a towbar and electrics in one go without specialist kit.
- Fleet vehicles that require a reliable, low‑drain towing electrics solution for occasional towing.
Some customers ask about totally flat batteries or quirky modern vehicle electronics — it’s sensible to check the vehicle’s battery condition and whether a manufacturer‑specific harness is recommended for cars with advanced CAN‑BUS or LED systems. Overall, the UmbraRimorchi C2 kit is a cost‑effective, durable and well thought‑out universal solution that keeps things simple, safe and tidy.
