  Controller

  If Your car is equipped with a BUS system (e.g. CAN-BUS) You will need the "controller" to connect the rear light bar to the vehicle electrics. The "controller" is an electronic control element that controls the rear light bar, without interfering with the on-board computer of Your car. The controller picks up the signal at the rear lights of your car. The power supply is provided by a 12 Volt socket in Your car. This may be a socket in the boot or any cigarette lighter socket.

  Carrier theft protection

  The theft protection secures the carrier to the tailgate of Your car.
• 
  The theft protection secures the Comfort load extension "Tieflader" to the basic rack. So You can stay relaxed even if You can’t keep an eye on Your Paulchen.
• 

  Tailgate positioner

  Mostly the gas pressure absorbers won’t hold the additional weight of the carrier. We recommend to use the "Heckklappenaufsteller" which locks the opened tailgate in place.
  * The ‘Heckklappenaufsteller’ may only be used with an empty carrier.
• 

  Wall brackets

  The wall mount is used to store the carrier in the garage or basement. The wall mount can also be used as a space saving bicycle stand.
