really easy to install yourself - give TLO (thelargeone) on here a PM, as it depends if you want 13 or 7 pin electrics (I'd assume 13pin given your location). Again, easy to do yourself, as its all just plugin stuff.

most of europe uses a 13 pin trailer plug for the trailers lights/etc, whilst the UK uses 7 pin. Does your jetski trailer have lights, if so, take a look at the plug that would connect to the car.

7 pin is the old standard, european standard is 13 pin now, much better plugs, locking weather proof etc. If your in greece, I would suspect you want 13 pin on your D3, you can always get an adapter cable for 7 pin trailer.

Unnecessary quote removed


Don't mean to sound off, but why keep asking what plug you need, when how would anyone else know but you.
As alcope stated, look and see what you intend towing, and see how many pins that plug is, 7 or 13 Thumbs Up
