Question:

I purchased a hitch and harness kit from E-trailer a couple years ago for my 2011 Sonata, install was a piece of cake, wiring worked great. Fast forward a couple years I upgraded to 2017 Sonata. I retained the tow system, your chart show the part # for 11 and the 17 are the same, but the wiring harness calls out for different part #. My long winded question is can I use the C56049 on my 2017. both cars require 3.0 amps for stop/turn lights and 5.0 amps for tail lights.

Helpful Expert Reply:

There were some changes to the connectors for the taillights from your 2011 Hyundai Sonata to your 2017 Hyundai Sonata that won't allow the connectors on the Curt # C56049 to be compatible with the taillight connectors on your 2017 Sonata. This change occurred between the 2014 and 2015 model year Sonatas.

If you look at the 2 pictures that I have attached you can see the difference in the Curt # C56049 for your 2011 Sonata and the Curt # C56247 which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Sonata.

I have attached some demonstration videos that you can reference for more information.
