    Even with an electric brake controller or surge brakes on the trailer, I don't think I would feel safe to tow with such a little car. Maybe a trailer designed for a motorcycle would work, but why risk possibly voiding the warranty.

    Switches for those blanks can be found online with a bit of Google-fu. I looked into installing a USB power adapter either there or on the center console. I think someone else may have used one for their foglight install.

    I prefer to use the right tool for the job but this is kinda funny. Have you seen that roadkill where they tow'd something with an old amc. I think they were flat towing a prius? I can't find the video but they got a flat and hit the ditch. I'm sure it was made more dramatic for the camera's but could happen.
