The "meaning" of pin 6 is not well specified. The original use (DIN 72552) was for electric brake control, but the pin gets used for a number of different uses (+12 V, rear fogs, etc.) in addition to controlling the brakes. With a generic trailer, I'd expect that pin 6 would be unused. You might check local standards to see what they say, or speak with an inspector to see what they check for. | |

Oh, by the way: I live in Europe and before using such a "changed car" you have to go through a registration control (or whatever it is called on English) where they will check if the car's changes (eg. the tow and the socket provided) meets the EU standards an regulations. | |
