Question:

Good Afternoon, I have 2018 Odyssey and was looking at these two items. One requires to connect directly to battery and other does not. What is the difference between the two that one does and does not require battery connection? Which is better? What is the advantage of connecting to the battery direct? Thank you,

The difference between the Curt # C56382 and the Tekonsha T-One # 118753 for your 2018 Honda Odyssey is that the Curt is for if the fuse locations actually have pins in them. The Tekonsha option is for if the fuse locations are lacking the pins to activate the tow wiring. The Tekonsha basically bypasses everything and pulls power straight from the battery via the black wire (which runs to your battery) while the Curt utilizes factory wiring on your vehicle.
