Question:
My 2017 Honda Pilot does not have 4-way wiring installed. Which of the wiring systems that you sell would you recommend to go along with the Epos 3 rack with LED lights? Will I be able to plug the 4-way wiring system into the rear access panel of the vehicle myself or will I need to have my dealer do that for me when I take the Pilot in for service?

Expert Reply:
Hey Jason. To install a 4-way wiring harness on your 2017 Honda Pilot, I recommend the Curt item # C56291. You can definitely install this harness yourself and save the labor cost. It's exactly what you need to power the lights on the Thule Epos Bike Rack item # TH34FR44SR.
The Curt item # C56291 is a custom fit harness that plugs directly into a port located on the left side of your Pilot's rear cargo area. The included fuse will need to be installed in the fuse box underneath your hood near the window shield.
I have linked an installation video we made along with the instruction manual so you can see the process on how to get the Curt item # C56291 set up.
Does your Pilot have a hitch installed?
