Question:
need help. I am looking at wiring up my 2018 mdx awd and need to know if i have what I need. I wanted the redarc tow pro elite brake controller and the t one harness in the back for 7 way 118289 I wanted to know does this setup mean i do not need to run wires from the front to the back of the car? I am trying to keep from making that run if possible. The car is a 2018 mdx tech package awd.

I have a solution that would allow you to install a brake controller in your 2018 Acura MDX without factory wiring. You'll need the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR that you mentioned with the install harness # 3028-P and then the 7-way kit part # 118289 and you'd be set.
All of the brake controller wiring is present on the versions of your vehicle with or without the tow package.
