    Volvo does offer the harness and you can source it through parts re-sellers. I paid about $60 to get the whole kit, including the bracket to secure it to my hitch, and the waterproof plug.

    Cheers,

    Do you remember where you got it? I've been Googling it for a few days and the only mention of it I've found is this thread!

    Or your local dealer, I was off a bit on price $100 vs. $60, but it's worth the OEM plug and play.

    Thanks! I agree, the few bucks more is worth the plug and play to me rather than cutting into the factory harness.

    I purchased the factory harness as suggested and am very pleased with it. It's plug and play and very complete. Volvo part # 8698079 lists for $116.23, I was able to get a garage discount to $87.17. There's a rubber plug that utilizes an existing factory hole for the cable to pass through and the plug bolts to your hitch securely. There were no issues when I hooked the trailer and the lights all work as their supposed to, the car apparently has a converter already built in. I've attached pics of the instructions so you can see how complete it is, I didn't think to take pics in progress.

    Is it possible to utilize the 7 pin connector in these cars or is 4 pin all we need in US market?

    Bart,

    4-pin is all you need, I think the 7 pin connector adds electric trailer braking.
    You would have to have a heavier trailer and that gets questionable with the wagons we have.
