Unplugging the vehicle battery before installing the Curt wiring harness part # C56291 is a precaution. Anytime you make electrical connections on a vehicle there is a risk a short could be created. So while I could see how installing the part # C56291 wouldn't require the battery being disconnected for most people I have to recommend you stick with the manufacturer recommendation.
