    Default Is there a 9 pin to 4 pin trailer plug adapter available?

    I have a 2010 622 trailer with a 9 pin plug. I also have a 2014 RTS with the 9 pin plug. I have a 2022 RTL and would like to use the trailer with both bikes, is there an adapter from 9 pin to 4 pin that I could swap out when changing bikes?
    TIA

    You will need to construct an adapter cable. 9-pin pigtails are available on Amazon and Ebay. The Spyder 9-pin is pre-wired for three country configurations: USA, CAN and AUS. Pin assignments are here https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...=1#post1607949

    I assume your trailer has the USA lighting configuration in which case your 9-pin cable has four wires: Ground, Tail, Left Brake/Turn and Right Brake/Turn.

    Cut the 9-pin cable an appropriate distance (use 2022 as guide) from the Spyder-side connector and strip both ends. Match wire colors with function. Match function to 4-pin towing connector colors. Splice wires accordingly. I recommend adhesive heat shrink for a proper weather seal. Easy peasy.

    PS my previous message assumed you wanted to keep your existing 9-pin cable for selling the trailer in the future. Probably an unlikely circumstance.
