We do not have any endorsed providers of installations outside of our own installation group here in Saint Louis. We do attempt to make clear video installations to help the do-it-yourself installers, but many people still choose to take it to a mechanic for installation. Any mechanic shop will be able to do this installation and the time estimate is given to assist you as the purchaser.
For your 2011 Honda Odyssey, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76025 is one of the more detailed installations. This installation is most likely going to take around 2 hours for someone with some mechanical knowledge. For an easier self-installation, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This is a far easier installation estimated to take the same person about 30 minutes.
To complete your towing package I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118521. This will give you a 4-way trailer connection for a trailer or lighted accessory. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Honda Odyssey's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side interior trim panel in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, open your fuse box and locate the fuse positions indicated in the instructions. Then insert the included fuses. This will be stored in your cargo area when not in use.
For a ball mount, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. I've attached some videos of these products to assist.
