Best 2013 Honda CR-V Trailer Wirings

This product works as expected. There is not too much to the installation, just plug it in properly and mount the ground wire. I did not find an easy way to mount this to my wife's Odyssey, or to the trailer hitch (item# 75270). Luckily, I do prototype design and manufacturing. So I came up with my own solution. I designed and made my own bracket to mount the 7 pole to the trailer hitch. It works like a charm, and looks great!

i had to replace these two items as my dear daughter went down our goat path driveway too fast. they replaced the originals from etrailer from the prior year. shipping is timely and customer service actually helps! i wired from battery to controller to hitch myself, and everything fit.

Everything worked out well. On time and fits perfect. Attach hitch setup and my new Ridgeline. It comes with a 2" inch receiver and I have a full compliment of 1.25. stuff from my previous car. All from etrailer i must admit! so I needed the 2-1.25 reducer, a good lock, and the 7-4 reducer for my goodies! Thanks for the grest service

I used this outlet plug to have 12 volt to power our shuttle pump on the water wagon to pump chemicals into our chem farm mix tank works really well easy to wire and very nice looking very durable .

Really nice trailer wiring adapter. Very easy install. Takes about 30 minutes with all the tools needed. Drill, 7/64 bit for pilot holes to mount the bracket, flat blade screwdriver and 11/32 nut driver and two #10 self tapping metal screws with locking split washers and a couple zip ties to tidy up the wiring harness.

This is a great adapter to retro fit connections on my 2011 Expedition. Simple to instal and great support from etrailer.com.

I found what I thought I needed on the website to prepare our car to be flat towed, but wanted to call to verify. After a short phone call, eTrailer saved me about $50 and got me the stuff I actually needed to get the job done! I won’t shop anywhere else!

This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.

7 pin connector separated from cable. I was expecting that "Molded Cable" meant that the connector was fused to the cable insulation but instead, the two separated almost immediately after I installed it. It still works fine as the wires are connected securely inside the connector but with the outer covering pulled out like this, I don't think it will last very long.

Çable good but after putting new 7way plug on truck cable wire colors did not match etrailers picture

Works very well after re-wiring trailer lights with waterproof distribution box.

2 things. 1st@: I think there should be an option to pick tinned wire. 2nd: The ring terminal for the ground needs to be bigger.

I've never really liked Flat-4 type connectors. Unless you leave them dangling, they usually require that you crawl under the vehicle to connect them. (...Murphy's Law dictates that this will always be when it's raining or snowing). This Pollak 4-pole round socket, along with a Tow-Ready harness, and matching trailer connector, provides a neat, factory installed look, that's more convenient, and durable. My orders from etrailer arrived quickly, and with great seller communication. A+

I explained to Roger (I believe was his name) that I have a Blue Ox tow bar and base plate, The base plate was installed along with the wiring kit, but did not include the wire to go from the front of the grill to the interior of my Jeep to plug in my RVi brake, and this is what he sent me. I'm attaching a picture of what I have on my vehicle. Not only was it the completely wrong part, but it arrived in damaged packaging which I did not open. Please send return instructions.

worked with the wiring harness

Not too difficult to install, but I would recommend using a car lift so you don't have to work from your back (review includes wiring harness and Brake Controller)

Very easy install. My truck had a precut hole in the bumper for the plug. I then hooked the spare 4 pole plug into a Reese Universal mounting bracket and mounted it onto the hitch.

Installed the Hopkins muti-tow 7, 5, and 4 way flat connector this morning. I ripped the original connector that was attached to the bottom of the hitch receiver off when I was 4-wheeling into the Doll House campgrounds in the Maze District of Canyonlands a month ago. So, I cut a hole in the bumper and mounted the new Hopkins connector, cut off the old broken connector mounting bracket, and connected the factory wiring to the new Hopkins device. Hopkins product installed easily, looks great, is now out of the way, and has the flexibility of multiple trailer connectors when required. I am pleased with the product. Attached is a photo.

Exactly what we had been looking for. Now I can hook up multiple trailers with different connectors and all the electrics on each trailer works. I mounted mine directly to the receiver hitch frame. The biggest challenge for us was routing the backup wire from the taillight housing, through the body of the truck to the connector. the rest went together fairly easily. Seems to be pretty solid and looks much better than the loose pigtail connector it replaced.

Quick shipping, will order from them again!

Exactly what I needed and It's a great fit

Works really well.

This product wooks great. I will do business with this company again

I periodically pull a 12v pressure sprayer behind my lawn tractor. The 12v harness I originally made that clipped to the tractor battery was always cumbersome and became hazardous when it recently shorted out due to rubbing (and no fuse in line). So I finally took the time to do it right, mounted this connector to the rear next to the taillight, and created a hidden fused permanent harness to the battery, and of course utilized the mating connector for the sprayer harness side. This little connector was perfect, high quality materials (connector body and electrical terminals), high spring force on the cover when not in use, nice sealed design yet easy to plug/unplug. Very happy with this purchase and will likely buy it again.

This is not a real easy thing for do it yourselfer. However with the resources provided, if you are ok using tools and are able to watch a video showing step by step you and can do this. The base plate and towing system has been perfect.

The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers. On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.

I have now installed the following on my 2017 Wrangler: Brake light relay kit . Hopkins Towed vehicle Tail Light wiring kit. Blue Ox base plate. Blue Ox Patriot Portable RF Braking System. All of this has taken about 3 days of work spread out over a week or so. Overall it went well. Not too many surprises. Crawling around under a car at 71 is a bit of a strain but I'll get over it. I must say that Donna P. has been a wonderful source of great information and has stayed right on top of the process. eTrailer has been a great source for this project. I would recommend you all with no hesitation.

Not installed yet but looks as good as one used before in a former vehicle. The actual adapter I received is "Reese", which is a reputable brand for towing accessories.

Good quality and everything needed for install in my 2006 Honda Odyssey. Now I can easily tow with either a 4 wire or 5 wire since the harness retains both.

The stuff not here

Very difficult to make the wiring connections, I was afraid I’d have problems on down the road so, I took it out of circuit and threw it away

fits the plug perfect....just got a goldwing used, haven't had a chance to ensure it (the bike) was wired correctly for a trailer. no fault of the product, just wish its wireing was a bit long due to the way the plug was intigrated into the underside of the tour trunk.

Works great! Took a few minutes to figure out the rv side and get it set up so the round RV part Correlated in the correct way to the standard four flat wiring. But it went smoothly.

Wiring worked perfect for my project. I replaced the wiring on my 14 foot utility trailer. If I was to do it again I would buy the next length up. I would have liked to have a little extra wiring if I was to ever need it.

Your sales staff is second to none. Keep up the good work. You shipped minutes after I placed my order! Very impressed! Marty

We just finished a makeover of our 1995 boat trailer. New bunks, sanded and painted but the best part of the project was the new LED lights from your company. They are so much brighter than the old incandescent bulbs that you really do feel safer driving down the road. We pulled the 20 year old wire out and replaced with new and used the 3M scotch loks to tie in. We were not sure the new style grommets would fit the old holes in the frame but they fit great. Your customer service was great, alerting me to a backordered reflector but recommended a replacement that worked fine. Patrick set up a Q&A page for me since I had questions about the best way to protect connections with dielectric grease, heat shrink and tape. Your website is one of the best with ease of navigation, complete pictures, great selection and thorough info, dimensions, etc. You guys really have your act together and also offer great value. I would not hesitate to purchase again and will recommend you when I can. I have attached a couple of pictures. Thanks for all your help. Wayne N.

Easy to install and works great.

Used this as the connection point for the Roadmaster diode wiring kit. Seems to be well made and will hopefully last a long time. I did spray paint it flat black so it blends into the front bumper of my “toad” a little better.

The documentation for wiring is limited and difficult to read without magnification. Otherwise this is well made and works perfectly.
