Hey Jesus, does your 2021 Honda Ridgeline have a factory 7-way on it already? If not, you would need to install one like the Tekonsha 7-way part # 118288 so that you can install the Redarc Tow Pro Link part # RED57AR which will install inline with the 7-way harness and the connector. Once that is complete you'd need to pair it to your smartphone and you'd be set.

Yes my truck has the factory tow packages and 7 way connector but it's a one piece body and nothing to unplug.

@JesusP You are going to have to make a USCAR connection on your 7-way wiring to be able to install the Redarc. You would want to use the part # C86DR for this. Take this connector and cut it in half and remove most of the wiring to either end but leave enough to make a new connection. You will then need to cut all of the wires that run to your 7-way and you are going to then wire in the two connectors mentioned previously. With them wired in you would then be able to install the Redarc Tow Pro Link in between them.

@JamesonC Can I use part #118288 instead?

@Jesus Yeah the # 118288 would work too. A little different of a solution than I had in mind but that's definitely an easier solution I would say!
