Question:
My son has a Mazda CX-5, I think its a 2019. Hes needing to pull a tiny tear travel trailer, which requires a 7-pole connection. Im not finding a 7-pole connector wiring kit for his vehicle. Is one available? Thank you for your help.

Hey Michael, so to install a 7-way on your 2019 Mazda CXC-5 you'd need to first start with a 4-way kit like the Tekonsha part # 118746 which is custom fit and very reliable. This covers the taillight functions of the trailers and is ready to be used with a 7-way adapter like the # 37185.
If the trailer has brakes that need to be operated as well you'd instead need the 7-way adapter part # ETBC7 and a brake controller like the P3 part # 90195 instead of the 37185. The ETBC7 comes with the same 7-way adapter as the 37185 but also comes with the wiring needed to wire in a brake controller.

Thank you for the information, Jameson. My son corrected me; his Mazda vehicle is a 2017 CX-5 Touring (not a 2019). I don't know if that has an impact on your recommendation. He is being given a teardrop travel trailer that is equipped with electric brakes so, yes, he will ultimately need a brake controller & will need 7-pin wiring to support the electric brakes function. If we buy the 4-pin kit 118746, and the 7-way adapter ETBC7, will it include instructions to guide us thru the custom hard wiring of the 3 wires? Also, would the P3 controller 90195 require custom wiring or will it plug-n-play into an existing connector under the dash? Thanks again for your help.
