Question:

So I like your product ETBC7L, my camper trailer has brakes - where do I find instructions on how to wire this in the 2014 Honda Odyssey touring elite?

Hey Casey! I've attached the instructions below along with a couple of installation videos for both the Universal Installation Kit item # ETBC7L and the item # ETBC7. The difference between the two 7-Way wiring harnesses is a blue wire that carries the brake controller signal. This is an important difference so I wanted to point out it's significance.

The item # ETBC7L does not have a blue brake controller wire and can only be used with a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo item # C51180. This brake controller simply plugs into your Honda's 7-way and can be controlled by an app on your phone.

The item # ETBC7 has the blue wire that runs up to the dash of your Honda and can be used with any traditional brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite item # RED44FR.

Regardless of which 7-way connector you go with you'll need a 4-Way connector installed on your 2014 Odyssey like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56378. Both the item # ETBC7 and the item # ETBC7L require a 4-way harness to function.
