997 trailer wiring harness

I am looking for a trailer wiring harness for my '06 Carrera 997. I imagine it needs to be externally powered and isolated. What have others done when adding a hitch and pulling a trailer in their 997?
Thanks

Trailer hitch on uncomon cars

Have a trailer hitch on my E30 to pull a small jet ski trailer. Then put a hitch on my Mini Cooper. The wireing is not complicated and there is ample space to run the power from the battery to the rear plug. Both of those run the wires at the drivers door under the carpet. There are a number of suitable wire holders from BMW that make the job easy.

The 4130 molly custom tow bar on my 1967 S is outstanding.

There's a few GT3's and such out there with little trailer hitches for a small tire carrier. It can be done, hell I even saw a C6 Z06 with a trailer hitch that would tow a skidoo (you can google it, he was in rochester NY). Theres a company who makes them for earlier boxsters and 996's, ill attach a link to their site. Its not for a 997 but maybe it can lead you in the right direction

*edit:
Found another company after a quick google search
