Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Connector

This installation could not be any easier, took me less than half an hour, the video was right on and it went together perfectly. I like the fact that the plug remains in trunk when not in use and is not exposed to the weather. I would strongly recommend this product. 663402

I had trouble for years with previous wiring harnesses I got online, but after doing a little digging and reaching out to the support team I was convinced this new harness was worth a try. So glad that I found this product to be reliable with no issues. These folks know their product and how it performs. I couldn't be happier. 895972

Works good, might be nice to have a secondary connection on the 4 wire so the hole in the car body does not need to be big enough to feed the flat 4 end through. 850278

Pricey but all the work is done for you. Plug & play. 806513

The product is fine. Your instructions are outdated. I spent about an hour digging around my drivers side cargo area, removing panels, only to learn that not only is the plug on a 2020 on the passenger side, but you don't even need to remove panels to connect the harness. 793262

A little difficulty locating vehicle wiring harness/connector. You Tube videos helped immensely. Piece of cake from then on. 770339

Works as expected - would have liked a little longer lead line. 766450

I am extremely satisfied with this wiring harness. Delivery was fast and it was super easy to install. Just watch the install video to find where the internal plug is located. After that it took about 10 min to connect and put everything back together. 766063

I purchased a hitch for my 2018 Subaru Outback. The hitch arrived within two days. The unit appears extremely well made and should do the job just fine. The wiring harness I purchased with the hitch also appears to be great and the buying experience was made easy due to great assistance from the company. I would recommend buying from etrailer and the products are great. 765703

NICE PRODUCT 751338

Installed hitch and separate wiring harness in about 3 hours. Videos were very helpful for both, especially for wiring. I wouldn’t have been able to find the wire connection otherwise. Like some of the other reviewers i managed to keep the middle tab in the bumper and cut around it. Like the hitch so far. Thanks etrailer. 696988

The products were great and installed with no problem. What I really appreciated was the videos provided to help with the installation. Your service was great, items shipped the next day and arrived with no problems. Huge thankyou 688704

Rather than trying to snake your hand up blindly to locate the plug (seen beginning at 2:37 of the 2017 installation video), I STRONGLY recommend removing the the cargo tie-down. Fold the rear seat down on the driver's side, and gently flip up the carpeted cover (held down with 3 push-pins). With a flat-bladed screwdriver, gently pry the plastic inner piece of the tie-down downward to expose the 10mm bolt. After removing it, and the entire tie-down assembly, you will be able to easily see the plug through the opening. This makes it much simpler to reach in from underneath to pull down the plug. The rest of the installation can proceed as normal. 647409

Very well made. Install went very well 643018

It took awhile to find out where to plug it in to, the Forester has a different place than the Outback. I did some online research and found a youtube instruction that got me there for where it is in the Outback. 614386

I use the trailer often. The device works well every time.

Subaru

The wiring harness worked as advertised. Just reach under the rear of the left side wheel well plastic cover to find the Subaru wires taped to the metal. Plug into harness and you're good to go. Easy! 608180

Received both the hitch and electrical connections in than two days and in excellent condition. So far car say nothing but good things about etrailer and give a high recommendation. Hopefully the hitch will go on as easily as suggested. 604248

The wiring worked great. I have rather large hands, so had my wife reach up in there as instructed for my vehicle. She pulled out the connector and I finished wiring it up. Everything worked great. 593276

Arrived in a timely manner. After watching the helpful installation video was easy to complete in around 15 min. 573497

Installation Video was spot on. Ten minutes start to finish. Plug will be used with 306-X7266 EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" 524212

This seems like a high quality product. It was an absolute beast to get the factory coupler out from under the panel as seen in the video or a 2018 Subaru Outback - it is apparently taped up there and if you don't have child sized hands you can expect a lot of pain finding the coupler and pulling it out. I slightly ripped the panel doing so, but it covered up nicely when reinstalling the floor trays. 515142

2015 Subaru Outback Wagon

The Hopkins wiring harness is great, came on time and packaging was good. This went on my 2015 outback easily and works good. The only thing I did different from the instruction was after plugging into the cars wiring I ran the rest of the wire into the spare tire area and cut a slot in the rubber plug in the bottom and continued the connector along under the car to the trailer hitch then mounted the plug to the hitch with a bracket I made out of small angle iron bolted to the hitch. Then sealed the rubber plug around the wire with rubber cement and made sure all the slack in the wire underneath was gone so as not to catch on anything while driving. I did it this way because I didn't want to run the wire out the rear hatch door when connecting it to the trailer And it looks and works good. 484807

Mine did not come with the car connector protective cap or the grease. I think if you mentioned to take out the cargo hold down (1 -10mm bolt) you can actually see the connector and it gives you more room to get your hand in there.No blind guessing as to what you are trying to pull down. 423225

2010 Subaru Outback Wagon

Installed this in my Subaru Outback. Was very straight forward, and the video on etrailer.com also made it very easy. I rate myself maybe a 7 out of 10 in handiness, so if you're the same way, you can definitely take it on. 389959
