Question:
I see on other hitches that there are clips/mounts for the 4 pin wiring harness. Does this have something similar? Wheres the best place to keep the wiring harness if there isnt a mount for it? Thanks!

With the Draw-Tite # 76170 being as hidden as it is once installed on a 2019 Honda Odyssey, it will not have the bracket to attach a wiring plug.
The first option to get wiring like the Curt # C56382 installed will to actually just store it in the back of you Odyssey. I included an install video showing this, but if you prefer to have it mounted outside the vehicle, you may still be able to.
We do not have any videos showing how this will be done, unfortunately, but that does not mean you can't. You will need to either find a hole to run the 4 Flat plug through or drill a hole. Once the 4 Flat plug is routed outside, you will have 3 options.
The first will be to simply use the rubber cover and loop it around the safety chain loops on the # 76170. Not the most elegant solution, but it is easy and works perfectly fine.
Next you can add the Tow Ready Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144. You will need to drill into the bumper fascia to mount this and I do suggest finding the most solid area or using some kind of spacer/strengthener between the bottom of the bolts and top of the fascia to make sure it is strong enough. Or you could use the # 18140 that attaches to your hitch with a hose clamp, this would not require the drilling into your frame or hitch.
The last option will be the EcoHitch Eclipse Magnetic Mounting Bracket for 4-Way Flat Trailer Connectors # 306-X6019. This magnetic bracket can be easily mounted on the receiver tube without the need of drilling and will keep everything nice and secure.
