Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is in your rear cargo area, on the driver's side. You will have to remove the floor covers, cargo trays, and some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, you will have to route the harness through the jack storage compartment to the center of your vehicle. Afterward, locate the fuse box under your hood and insert the provided fuses.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. This power module functions as a tail light converter to combine the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
With a ModuLite, your trailer's lights will be powered without overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Because the module bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.

Not 18 inch wheel with tire (that comes on vehicle) but a 18 inch full diameter of tire so my spare does not fit. Just a little confusing because Honda recommends full size spare when towing, which is odd, that would be the reason I bought the hitch in the first place, but the spare did not fit. Oh and don,t get the curt trailering wire because that lasted 5 days.
I had a great transaction with etrailer and not knowing exactly what I needed, they helped to purchase the right hitch for my Honda Pilot. It helped so much to have a company help and guide me in this purchase. I trust their knowledge and love the customer service they provided.
The wire harness was packaged in a box and inside a larger box containing the trailer hitch that I ordered. Both boxes were damaged and somehow the wire harness was removed from it's own box and laying inside the hitch box. I did not notice any damage and haven't installed yet to see if the harness is working properly. I would strongly suggest packing the smaller items in a separate box to eliminate this issue. Ordering, delivery, and communication were outstanding from etrailer.

Wire harness is working fine. I have connected to multiple trailers and all lighting & brake lights work well.
I was able to install the hitch I ordered, the wiring harness and the bracket ALL while listening to Cleveland and Tampa in the wildcard playoffs, even before the extra innings!
The instructional videos online were thorough and I had no questions. All works as required! I’ll highly recommend etrailer to everyone. Thanks again for the fine craftsmanship of your hitches and the accessories.
16 Pilot Touring model. Truly plug-and-play. I opted to NOT run it out of the bottom. Instead, I run in out the back hatch when needed (I only tow a few times a year). I did have a problem with the hatch thinking it was stuck on something, but I move the wiring loom a bit and just have the flat wire at the hatch opening. Then I can put it all back behind the small door on the left side of the 'smugglers hold' and it is gone from sight.
I installed the wiring harness, brackets, and tow receiver 12 months ago. This was a simple job to do. The video tutorial made it even simpler. Everything works as described. I only HATE the plates that hold the harness under the car (already rusting), I had to bend one 90 degrees to make it work and the harness falls out of the other plate when whenever I use it (see photo).
Harness - Perfect
Receiver - Perfect
Plate - 0 stars
Overall I like it and I would recommend their products. Please fix this issue.
This worked perfectly in our 2021 Honda Pilot. Installation was pretty easy with a video on Youtube.
Worked perfectly once installed. Missing one star because of the installation process. I had to make a few phone calls over a harness plug that didn't seem to go anywhere in my pilot. I got varying answers. One was fortunately correct and then no issues since installed 1 year ago by myself.
Wire harness works great. Name of product is misleading as it is for installation in a vehicle that does not have a factory tow package. The how-to video is amateurish with several errors in it. Like all how-to videos this one omits the single most difficult procedure, in this case, releasing the car's white electrical connector so it becomes accessible.

This wiring harness plugs directly into OEM tow package wiring connector so that no cutting or splicing is required. Since you released your white electrical connector, you have a factory tow package. If you did not have a factory tow package then you would need a product named hard wire application.

As I mentioned in the original review, the name of the product is misleading. Think about it. If my vehicle had the factory tow package it would already have a trailer wire harness installed and there would be no need for this part. One years since installation and everything is working fine as expected. I would buy again.
Great harness and it looks good with the bracket to keep it in place. My only problem was being unable to locate the back up sensor wiring to connect to the harness. I’ve watched your videos but none of them include locating and connecting the “blue” wire harness. I dug around and followed my truck’s sensor wire but I was unable to locate the connector. My guess is it’s buried behind the jack holder which makes it inaccessible unless you remove the entire panel, not just peel it back like in the videos.

Thank you for your review. If you cannot locate where to plug the blue wire in I would go to your local dealership. They will be able to pinpoint where it would be at. Here is an expert answer that can be of some help:

I received my package with everything I ordered and the hitch receiver seems to be well built thankfully. However when I received the package it was severely damaged and open. It appears that no packing was added to the box to take up the dead space around the hitch. I would hope in the future etrailer would do something to remedy this.
Delivered sooner than expected. Easy installment... Just jacked up the rear and slid into place... attached with 6 bolts perfect fit. My wife and I did it in about 25 mins.
With the help of etrailer video, I was able to easily install the wire harness! Thanks etrailer!

Works perfectly!
Very ease and straight forward on the install. All the hardware sent fit perfectly.
Box came damaged is an understatement (see photos). I'm hoping none of the bolts were lost or the wiring kit was damaged. But it is a bulky item and it's typical for damage to box. Off hand, I'm thinking everything is ok.
Great product $800 cheaper than what the dealer wanted to charge me. Was easy to install with the video on the trailer hitch and wiring harness. Was stated that the foot sensor for the tailgate may not work with this trailer hitch but on the 2021 pilot AWD the sensor is offset so it still works. work Sensor is located at parked in pic. I think the sensor is only offset on the AWD models.
The install was very straight forward for a 2018 Honda Pilot with towing package. The instructions were clear and easily followed. I have used the hitch to pull a 12x6 trailer loaded with a golf cart up and down the NC mountains multiple times with no issues. There's been no water leakage from the point where the harness pierces the pilot's subfloor. Very satisfied with this harness.
I haven't installed trailer wiring in many, many years! Last time I did that, I botched splicing into my vehicles wiring and it ended up costing me way more than it should have. But, the video installation gave me the confidence to give it a try.
This was insanely easy to do!!! From start to finish - 10 minutes to install and test! So grateful for the video, I saved a fortune doing this myself. Great tips in the video, too, and my installation looks really professional. Very happy!
I purchased this trailer hitch receiver, light wiring harness and hitch and ball. Everything has worked the way it was supposed to and was super easy to install. I am very happy with the prices and the product!
Perfect fit. I've used it in the winter and summer, and I've had no issues.
Harness is plug and play as described. Watched a video on YouTube to find where the harness plugs into but that was the only hiccup. The extra plug for the back up sensors is not used out at least I could not find where that plugs into but it does not beep at me when backing up with the trailer. Hitch and harness arrived 2 days earlier than expected. Will use this company in the future for different vehicles.
Your company overall has excellent support and products. I ended up needing technical support on a saturday and was surprised to have someone answer the phone immmediately and resolved my issue with a trailer light harness
Easy install and works great.
I really found that installing the unit was somewhat easy. I would recommend etrailer to anyone looking to install a hitch.
Other than the box being beat up and 3 large holes in the box, it appears to be okay. Surprisingly the separate box with the harness in it didn’t fall out.
