This 7- and 4-pole trailer connector eliminates the need for an adapter and allows you to tow a trailer with either a 7- or 4-pole plug. Socket connects to your vehicle's OEM wiring system and mounts with included bracket.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Only one connector - a 4-way or a 7-way - can be used at a time because the covers on this socket will not open far enough to allow use of both plugs at the same time.

This 7- and 4-pole trailer connector eliminates the need for an adapter and allows you to tow a trailer with either a 7- or 4-pole plug. Socket connects to your vehicle's OEM wiring system and mounts with included bracket.IS NOT A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR FACTORY CONNECTOR. So my review is two fold, as the connector seems to be solid and decently built, however I bought it as the site and Q/A said it was a direct factory replacement. Well it is not, it connector to the factory wiring however does not even come close to fitting in the factory spot, hence it is NOT a direct factory replacement.
Had two options, the kit included some cheap junk sheet metal bracket and self tapping screws, so you COULD technically put the bracket on the bottom of the bumper, which would make it like any other universal connector, and be left with either an unplugged useless factory connector or an ugly hole in your bumper where the factory connector is supposed to go.
The box arrived opened and damaged. My wiring harness was missing. When I called to tell them my wiring harness was missing they told me that it was shipping separately but could not tell me when it would arrive. I later got an email telling me all of my items were delivered and asked me to leave a review. I still don't have my wiring harness and will not have the hitch installed by this weekend like needed because I don't know if I am ever getting my wiring harness.not to mention the box had no padding around the hitch so it's all scratched up.
This connector and bracket is a great product giving both 7 pin and 4 pin connections. I was able to reverse the bracket (making new holes) to allow it to fit behind the bumper cover piece that hides the hitch when not in use. The only drawback is that a wiring harness that fits the round 7 pin to the Buick Enclave rectangle plug is not available as a separate purchase. Had to buy an additional 7 pin outlet that came with the correct plug assembly and use that for my combo plug.
It is the exact part that I needed, fitted perfectly and took only a few minutes to install. I am very pleased with the product and the service from etrailer.com!

This fixed the wiring problem I was having, and I have had no problems since. Very pleased still.
Connector works well. I put the electrival stuff that keeps the water out. The bracket is very rusted
If you are using the draw tie trailer hitch receiver, I recommend mounting the bracket before installation as it would be difficult to do later. Excellent quality easy to install.
Worked exactly how described, great replacement for my risty only bracket and 7 pin connector. Fits my 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD perfect, plug and play. Bought specifically because the bracket is included. And with both 4 and 7 pin connectors, I don't have to use an adapter anymore!
I am not sure how this bracket passed quality control. It sure is a good thing I'm not planning on using it. Really disappointing to see how quality is overlooked during the packaging process. This should have never left in this condition.

Oh! It is definitely not how we want the bracket to arrive to you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out.
Here's some snaps of my Hopkins #40975 installation. I can confirm that it's an identical replacement for the 2014 Silverado 1500 trailer-light blank insert, no bracket required. It took me 30 seconds to plug the Silverado's OEM 7-pin round connector (located inside the blank insert) into the #40975 Wiring Kit and snap it into the cutout. Then I tested the flat 4-pin outlet of the #40975 with a 5 dollar 4-pin LED tester from West Marine, and all light functions tested good. Shweet! To remove the OEM blank plug, it helps to reach behind it and pinch the two spring clips holding it in place... same with the #40975 if it needs to be removed for some reason. When I ordered the part from eTrailer, your site had a comment, "This will not fit your vehicle. See below for compatible parts," or words to that effect. Maybe take a look at that and remove the comment, as the #40975 is an exact fit for 2014 Silverado 1500, no bracket needed. Thanks, eTrailer team!

Although I havent towed since installing the Hopkins Pollak wiring kit since I installed it a year ago, I have tested the 4-pin connector for proper function using a 4-pin LED tester from West Marine and it checks out okay. Recently I inspected the kit for water intrusion mentioned by one of the raters, and I found no evidence of moisture inside the dual-connector compartment. On installation, I did make liberal use of the dielectric grease that accompanies the kit. Good product, easy installation, and great price.
Easy installation, nice clean factory look. Plugs right into the factory harness of a 99-up Chevy/GMC truck.
It came with it's own bracket, which is a plus. It was compatible with etrailer.com's part number C56357, which is also a plus. The self tapping screws being the only hardware coming with the item was a disappointment. I just installed etrailer.com's part number 76301 hitch receiver which has a mounting plate for brackets like this. The self tapping screws, which might have been effective, wouldn't have looked "professional." After finding some hardware which worked, it went on smoothly and fits well with the rest of the assembly.

This product has been working well for the past year. I feel this was a smart purchase.
Excellent product choices, reasonable pricing, and great communication.
I would buy again from eTrailer!
Scratched my head for a while, trying to find a quality way to connect this vehicle end 4/7 wire socket to my trailer ready (almost) 2015 Audi Q7. Finally decided that it really didn’t need to be bolted, but could be hose clamped to the existing heavy duty Audi bracket.
Mounted it sideways with a 1” diameter and a 3” diameter hose clamp. Be sure to use a 3” clamp with lots of serrations that all it to tighten it down a lot.
You’ll need to drill out the small hole of the supplied bracket to allow a clamp to fit through it. The other hole is a slot, and works unaltered. Small clamp on bottom, large clamp on top.
You’ll also need to relieve a small spot on the trim piece to make room for the 4-wire door to o-en freely. This is marked as red on one of the pictures.
Looks good and should work good!

Good installation approach for q7’s. Keeps water from collecting in wiring junctions.
Very easy to install. The connection with the trailer plug is a snap.
Excellent product but it did not come with mounting screws that worked on my car. I ended up using the old screws and thread clips to mount your new product
This company is an absolute pleasure to work with. Item was delivered fast and exactly as described. This is the second item I’ve bout from etrailer the first being a 9000lb rated hitch. Will order again from these folks when if I need stuff for my truck.
Great product at a great price. It was an exact fit and looks great. I like having the ability to plug in my 7-prong plug on my travel trailer or the 4-pin plug on my boat, without needing an adaptor. Got super fast shipping too. Buying from etrailer.com was a win- win-win.

Its a 2014 Silverado 1500 Double Cab
nice looking product, haven't plugged into it yet to know of the electrical part, caution about the install, make sure you have about 5" clear directly behind the install location of your bracket to allow room for the connector and to attach your vehicle plug, see photo, I had wanted to mount this on the bottom of my bumper, but not enough clearance

A no-drill mounting bracket like # C57202 is a great way to give clearance needed to mount the wiring connector higher up on the hitch.

This was a major upgrade for me at the time. A year later, Ive hauled massive loads across the country, and this connector harness works perfectly every time
This wiring connector was a perfect fit for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Easy to install, hooked right up to the pigtail that was already on my Jeep. Simple install.

Works Wonderfully! Everything plugged right in and bolted up conveniently. Easy install.
