Blue tooth tow light bar

I am starting the process of getting my 2018 Greyhawk Prestige 30XP RV ready to tow a Jeep. A buddy of mine mentioned instead of wiring the jeep, get a blue tooth tow light bar. Has anyone done that and if so, what blue tooth light bar did you get and why?

Appreciate all the feed back

Thanks

Never seen one. Got a link?

I wired my Grand Cherokee with a diode kit from Roadmaster. It wasn't particularly difficult for me. I also wired a charge line to keep the battery topped up while in tow.

That seems a pretty steep price tag. My diode wiring kit lists at Etrailer.com for $128.

Granted, I can see the bluetooth lighting scheme being potentially more convenient because of course you can avoid splicing and fishing wires, but personally I'm not sure I would be willing to pay that for it.

And having on-board wiring, while potentially inconvenient during installation, is ULTRA convenient once it's set up. I just plug it in and go.

There are also the magnetic mounting points to contend with. There is virtually no steel on the rear of my JGC, so there would be nowhere for me to mount that light.

I like the idea though, and I think that might work pretty great in some applications.
