Hey Gary, the best 4-way kit that fits your 2011 Honda Pilot is the Tekonsha part # 118491 as it has the easiest install and most reliable converter box. We don't have an install video for this or any of the wiring kits that fit your vehicle but I did attach a link to detailed instructions for this kit for you to check out. What kind of trailer do you have?

Jameson: Should have asked in earlier response, would you also provide link to a Trailer Hitch Ball Mount which would be correct for my 2011 honda pilot EXL Thanks Gary

Jameson: Appreciate help, I have further question While both my boat and utility trailer are 4 pole flat connectors the honda pilot bumper is designed for use with a 7 way. It seems like the 4pole flat options do not include a bracket which is designed to fit where honda intended them to be located in the bumper which I know I can speedy tie the wiring to hold it in place but frankly it just feels a bit - cant think of right word but lets say undesirable Wondering if I should go with a 7 way harness (maybe you have video-that would be a plus for this old guy who likes video instructions) and plan to plug in a 7 to 4 pole adaptor. I found one on your website listed below which seemed like it would just plug into the 7 way when I needed to pull one of my trailers- this make any sense? We have never had a trailer which used a 7 way- my guess is they are more tied to trailers which include brake control- is that correct? I will say given that I am close to retiring, my wife and I have been discussing possible RV options so for all I know I may be looking to pull a trailer which includes brakes in near future So hoping you could direct me to most reliable 7 way harness for my pilot, one that will adapt to the location on bumper, and if available a how to video, and an adaptor if you think there is better one than one I listed below Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Tester and Cover Part Number: 47345 Very grateful for help Have to say you all seem to have pretty user friendly business Many Thanks Gary
