Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Wiring on 2017 Honda CR-V
Question:
Im getting a small camper trailer to tow with a 2017 Honda CRV fwd. The trailer come with 7 pin connector. I see flat connectors only under car wiring. Do you have 7 pin wiring appropriate for this car?

We have exactly what you need so you can tow your trailer with the 7-Way using your 2017 Honda CR-V!
It sounds like you have something like the T-One Wiring # 118741 already on your CR-V which has a 4-Way flat connector that provides the basic light functions for a trailer.
To add a 7-Way connection we have a few different options and it all boils down to what exactly you're needing; whether you just need the 7-Way and only the trailer light functions, whether you need the 7-Way with the 12V power function added, or whether you need the fully functional 7-Way with the 12V power and brake controller connections for an under-dash controller.
Here is a list of the parts you'll need for each situation:
7-Way with only trailer light functions - Curt Connector # C57672
7-Way with 12V Power - Wiring Kit # ETBC7L - Great for Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180
7-Way that's fully functional - Wiring Kit # ETBC7 - Great for Under-Dash Curt Echo # C27JR
Both of the Curt Echo brake controller options are wireless. The only differences are that one plugs into the 7-Way and only requires the 12V power function while the under-dash Echo requires the fully functioning 7-Way but it's always on your vehicle so you don't have to worry about keeping it at the back of your vehicle. Once you have the settings adjusted with your app you can use the Manual Override Button # C83HR for a phone-free towing experience.
