Winter Is Over – prepare your car for the cycling season with towbar wiring solutions

As winter comes to an end, we start thinking more often about spending time outdoors. Spring is the perfect time to prepare your vehicle for the cycling season — especially if you are planning trips out of town, family getaways, or weekend training rides.

One of the most convenient ways to transport bicycles is a towbar-mounted bike carrier. However, for it to operate safely and in compliance with road regulations, a proper towbar wiring harness is essential. At Quasar Electronics, we offer optimal solutions that work perfectly with bike carriers.

Why Is the right towbar wiring harness so important?

Modern bike carriers are equipped with:

• position lights
• indicators
• brake lights
• reverse lights
• rear fog lights

To ensure:

• proper operation of the lighting system
• safety on the road
• compliance with legal requirements
• no dashboard warning errors

a reliable electrical wiring harness is required — and that is exactly what you will find in our product range.

Our bike carrier wiring solutions

Quasar Electronics offers universal towbar wiring harnesses that are perfectly suited for bike carrier installations.

• WH1R-G8

A basic, universal towbar wiring harness that provides stable and secure electrical connection for a bike carrier.

This is a budget-friendly yet complete solution for users who expect reliability and simple installation — already proven by hundreds of thousands of sets sold over the years.

• WH3Q-CS-G8

Another universal wiring harness, but equipped with a digital control module. Built-in additional features such as Blink Control and the option to deactivate parking sensors (PDC) increase user comfort. The towbar socket is factory-connected to the harness, reducing installation time.

Moreover, the integrated trailer battery charging control system simplifies potential future upgrades — for example, if next season turns out to be dedicated to caravan adventures.

• MP2S-CAN-G8

A modern solution utilizing the vehicle’s CAN-Bus system to read lighting control signals.

Our module ensures proper communication with the vehicle systems, eliminating the risk of system errors. Additionally, for selected vehicle groups, the module can automatically deactivate parking sensors when a trailer is connected.

• DEDICATED WIRING HARNESSES
