Question:
I am needing a 4 pin trailer wiring harness with plug and play compatible for a 2008 Kia Sportage LX 4 cylinder engine. I have no single factory connection on the car. Thank you for your time and consideration. Frank Jones

Hey Frank! Since you have the 4-cylinder model you need the Curt Tail Light Converter with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C56175. This splices into your vehicle wring with quick-splice connectors and will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailers signal lights.
Unfortunately, a plug and play solution is not available for your Sportage. If you would rather avoid splicing, the only other option is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT which clamps on.
What are you towing with your Kia?

Like said It is not plug and play but it is very simple to do. There are plenty of YouTube videos around if you would like help.

Robin thank you for you quick reply. I will be only a small 4x8 utility trailer. I will go online to your site and order the splice on harness as the $27 unit will fit my budget. Thank you so much for the feedback. Frank in Texas
