Expert Reply:

You're on the right track; to add the Curt brake controller to your 2010 Acura MDX you'll need to add the 4-way as well as 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7. You will first install the 4-flat, which will activate your trailer's lighting functions, and you'll then plug that into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, which also gives you the wiring, circuit breakers, and rest of the hardware needed for installation. The exact parts you need are the following:

- Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56038

- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7

- Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV

- Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers # C51515
