Helpful Expert Reply:

I can help you with a wiring harness for your 2015 Honda Pilot.

If you would like a 4way end the Curt # C56170 will work for your Honda Pilot, if you instead need a 7way for your trailer you will want the Tow Ready # 118265.

Your local mechanic was probably talking about installing a universal direct splice wiring harness like # C59496, but the two harnesses I mentioned above will plug directly into the vehicle's tow plug no splicing needed.

I have linked an image of where to find your factory plug for your convenience.
