I just bought a Thule Velospace XT3 bike rack. It’s supposed to have a 13-pin socket but it arrived with this (see image below). I thought it might have another fitting but there is nothing else in the box. Any suggestions?

Search for a 7 pin to 13pin adapter... Its what I use on mine and saves any swapping of parts.
Normally about a tenner from screwfix or similar shops

Thanks for posting. I worked it out. It is the correct 13 pin plug but the bike rack only needs 8 pins because there is no fridge, leisure battery charging etc like in a caravan, which might need all 13 pins.

Surely that is 13 pin (based on the number of spaces) so what is the problem ?
