2009 Acura Questions and Answers

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13354 does not come with a wiring harness; reason being that not everyone is using the hitch for towing so we make each component available separately. To add a 4-Way flat connector to your 2009 Acura MDX you can use # 118424. I have linked videos showing example installations of both the hitch and the wiring for you. I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4...

• 4-Way and 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56038 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2009 Acura MDX and does include the needed harnesses and relays for it to plug right into your vehicle's wiring. We do not sell a version of this that also provides a 7-way, but if you are towing a trailer with surge brakes most likely you wouldn't need a 7-way. If you really do want a plug in version that has both the 7-way and 4-way active then the dealer option would be the way to go. Otherwise you...

• Parts for Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack to Make Assembly
  
• If you already have one of the wheel assemblies you will need other parts, including the other wheel assembly as well as the spine assembly and tongue assembly, which is packaged together. So you will need both the Front Wheel Assembly for Yakima HoldUp Bike Carriers # 8890280, Rear Wheel Assembly for Yakima HoldUp Bike Carriers # 8890281 and Replacement Spine for Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" Hitches # Y8890278 which says "Spine" but is actually the spine assembly and tongue...

• Hitch Height on 2009 Acura MDX and Ball Mount Compatibility
  
• When we installed 2-inch Curt Class III hitch # 13354 on a 2009 MDX we found that the top of the receiver opening was indeed 17-inches above ground, although this can vary slightly from car to car depending on the amount of tread wear and factors like passenger and cargo weight. Since all tow vehicles will exhibit some degree of rear-end squat when a trailer is hitched to them, it is a good idea to have the starting height of the hitch ball on the MDX about 1-inch HIGHER than the top...

• Tail Light Kit for a Curt Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
  
• Since there is no specific light kit that will fit the Curt carrier # C18153 what you will need to do is use a light kit like # 98174LED, and then add 2 brackets, # BK70BB. You will also need some self-tapping screws # FA1131822, or drill and use the hardware of your choice to mount the brackets. Also, make sure that your MDX has a 4-Way trailer connector to plug the light kit into. If you need to add trailer wiring, use # 118424 or # C56038.

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Honda Accord
  
• The Draw Tite Hitch part # 24899 that you referenced will not fit a 2007 Honda Accord. If it was a year newer it would as this hitch will fit 2008-2013 Accords. You would want a Draw-Tite part # 24787 for your Accord. I attached an install video for you to check out. To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the following products. A ball mount. Trailer wiring part # 118302 and 1-7/8 inch hitch ball part # 19256.

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• For your 2009 Acura MDX you would want the Curt Hitch part # 13354. This hitch will fit all models of the 2009 MDX so it will work for you regardless of your current rear fascia. Check out the install video I attached for more info. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball,...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• I would recommend you get a supplemental transmission cooler for your vehicle if you plan on towing. The factory transmission cooler is often adequate at best for non-towing situations, so a supplemental cooler would greatly help extend the life of your transmission. Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, you will need to measure the area in front of your radiator to determine what size cooler will fit and pick the one with those dimensions. If you can fit it, I would recommend...

• Is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13354 on a 2009 Acura MDX Hidden or Low Profile
  
• Yes, we have pictures and a video of the hitch on an Acura MDX and it is very low profile and out of the way. At this time we have not had the chance to get photos of the hitch on a 2009 model but the fit is the same as the 2010 model pictured. You can see the install details as well as an install video by clicking the provided links.

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Acura RDX
  
• For your 2009 Acura RDX I like the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75563. This is a Class III hitch that will have plenty of capacity for your small trailer but will also allow you to carry a much larger trailer in the future. The capacities for this trailer are 400 lbs tongue weight and 4,000 lbs total trailer weight. Draw Tite has a great reputation and is one of the best hitch manufacturers on the market. If you want to see a picture of this hitch installed on a similar vehicle check out the...

• Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Acura MDX Carrying 3 Bikes
  
• The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack, # Y02638, would be an excellent choice for your 2009 Acura MDX. Of the trunk mounted options that are available for your vehicle this one is among the easiest to install and remove and will allow you to attach the bikes easily. Using a trunk mount bike rack on your 2009 Acura MDX would require you to remove the rack each time you needed to access the back of the vehicle. For this reason I recommend using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. My...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Adapter To Connect 2002 Jayco Popup To 2009 Acura MDX
  
• Using adapters as you described can introduce problems if the everything is not perfectly matched and can cause problems like you are experiencing. My first recommendation is to use a circuit tester like part # 40376 and test the 4-way adapter on your Acura. Have someone sit in the front of the vehicle and run through the functions. If everything checks out okay you can go from there. You can then use a 6-way square adapter like part # 37995. I have attached a photo of the vehicle side...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2009 Acura MDX with 7-Way
  
• To connect a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, part # 90195, to your 2009 Acura MDX you will need to hardwire the included pigtail wiring harness directly to the factory four wire harness that plugs into your factory brake controller port. The wires will connect color to color, red to red, blue to blue, black to black, and white to white. The Honda wiring harness will not work. The P3 brake controller that I mentioned is the nicest brake controller available,...

• Replacement Dome for Ventline E-Z Lift Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent
  
• If the Ventadome roof vent you have on your trailer has four mounting points then the replacement vent cover is part # BVE0108-03. This dome is designed to fit # V3092-601-00, # V3092-603-00, # V3094-601-00, # V3094-601-00C, # V3094-603-00, and # V3094-603-00C vents.

• Replacement Locking Mechanism for the Sears Sport 15-CAV Cargo Box
  
• I spoke to my contact at Thule and she told me that there were a couple different generations of the Sears Sport 15-CAV and they have replacement lock hardware that would work for one of the generations, but without knowing what generation you have it would be hard to say if it would work for you. The Replacement Locks and Keys part # SR03807 is the replacement lock that will work on one of the generations. You might compare the product pictures to the locks you removed from your box...

• Recommended Tool For Cleaning Threads
  
• To clean threads I recommend using a nylon brush like # 814092. This will allow you to clean out any debris without causing any damage to the threads like a wire brush might cause. Sometimes there is paint or powdercoat in threads that may require you to use a thread tapper to clean them out entirely. You can pick this up at a local hardware store or create your own.

• Is a Brake Controller Wiring Harness Available for a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• It is possible that the brake controller wiring harness # 3070-P will fit your 2009 Acura MDX since it is designed for the Honda Pilot and Ridgeline. However, it has not been confirmed to fit by the manufacturer and we have not tested it so I cannot confirm or deny its fit. I recommend hardwiring in a controller using wiring kit # 5506. You would remove the wire in the 7 oclock position attached to the back of the factory 7-Way. You would then install the wire incldued with # 5506 in...

• Does Cable and Ball Mount Lockset, part # DT6149 work with Hitch part # V82112 for 2009 Acura RDX?
  
• Yes, they are compatible. The Cable and Ball Mount Lockset 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # DT6149, fits Valley Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # V82112. The 2-inch hitch opening is perfect for the lockset. What is also nice about the lockset is that you only need to carry one key to open both locks.

• Recommended Tire Chains For 2009 Acura MDX With 255/55-18 Tires
  
• Due to the limited clearance around the tires on your MDX, a Class S tire chain is recommended in the owner's manual. I recommend cable-style chains like part # TC2029. These are Class S compatible and will work great on your tires. I also recommend using chain adjusters like part # TCMA2. These keep the tire chains tight and secure. Per the owner's manual tire chains are to be used on the front tires only.

• Will the Yakima Rocket Box Pro 14 Cargo Box # Y07192 Fit a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• The Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Black Cargo Box, # Y07192, will fit crossbar spreads between 24 and 36 inches. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. If you have a factory roof rack that has crossbars that run side to side, this box is not listed as a direct fit. A similar box that is a direct fit would be the Thule Pulse Medium Roof Mounted Black Cargo Box, # TH614. I have included links to the installation details for this box as well. The minimum crossbar...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2009 Acura MDX with Full Size Spare Tire
  
• Curt trailer hitch # 13354 is listed as compatible with models of the 2009 Acura MDX that have the full size spare tire. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the...

• Recommendation for 2009 Acura MDX Trailer Wiring Harness and Brake Controller
  
• For your 2009 Acura MDX you will start with a 4-way trailer connector if you don't already have one. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118424 which plugs into the factory wiring harness located behind the trim panel on the driver's side. I've attached a video to assist. This harness has a slightly better reputation than the Curt # C56038 which is also a fit. Then I recommend using the brake controller wiring kit # ETBC7 which will give...

• Will a Trailer Hitch By Itself Set Off Backup Sensors on a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• The backup sensors on your 2009 Acura MDX would not be able to detect Curt trailer hitch # 13354 once it is installed. The face of the receiver will be slightly recessed from the furthest part of the back bumper as shown in the picture I have included. The sensors are more rear facing than downward facing so it will not be a problem. You can test it if you want by placing something in the approximate area the receiver will be and then placing the vehicle in reverse. Be sure nothing...

• Recommended Roof Rack for 2009 Acura RDX with Naked Roof
  
• Your 2009 Acura RDX has a naked roof which means a fit kit is needed to secure a roof rack onto the vehicle. That is the purpose of the clamps you're referring to, and trying to avoid. Some vehicles have pre-drilled holes in their roof for a fit kit to connect to but more common is the clamp style that hooks around the door jamb. I've attached a help article on roof racks that explains how they connect to different roof styles. Out of the roof racks that are available for your Acura...

• Recommended Easy to Install Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Acura TL
  
• Thule trunk mount bike racks are fully assembled, it doesn't get any easier than that to assemble! If you're wanting a rack that's unbelievably simple to install and remove, the Thule Raceway, part # TH9001PRO is the rack you'll want. Most bike racks attach to the vehicle using 6 straps and adjustment buckles. This arrangement is pretty clumsy and isn't very easy to use. However, the Raceway uses 4 retracting cables that tighten with the twist of a knob or release with the flip of a...

• Tail Light Kit for a Curt Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier on a 2009 Acura MDX
  
• Since there is no specific light kit that will fit the Curt carrier # C18132 what you will need to do is use a light kit like # 20174, and then add 2 brackets, # BK70BB. You will also need some self-tapping screws # 101131802, or drill and use the hardware of your choice to mount the brackets. Also, make sure that your MDX has a 4-Way trailer connector to plug the light kit into. If you need to add trailer wiring, use a # C56038 that you referenced. If you wanted an LED option you...

• Fit of Thule TH944 Hitching Post on 2009 Acura MDX w/ Aftermarket Hitch
  
• It should fit. When we installed a hitch on the 2009 MDX, we found that the hitch was recessed under the vehicle by 3-1/2 inches, meaning that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rearmost point of the bumper was 3-1/2 inches. The rack you choose will need to have a shank longer than that, measured from the hitch pin hole to the closest portion of the bike rack's upright. The receiver opening is close enough to the back of the vehicle that just about any bike rack should be compatible...

• Are the Erickson E-Tracks Zinc Plated or Galvanized
  
• The Erickson Horizontal E-Track part # E19135 is zinc plated using a current of electricity, not galvanized with a zinc coating. This will hold true for all of the e-tracks. I called my contact at Erickson Manufacturing just to be certain.

• Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2009 Acura RDX
  
• I do have a solution for you, however there is not a hitch mounted product available for your 2009 Acura RDX that will work to transport your kayak. There are a couple of options for carrying your kayak on the roof of your Acura if it does not have factory side rails. The first, which is what I recommend, is installing a complete roof rack to use with a roof mounted kayak carrier. For a sturdy but economical system, I suggest looking at the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack. This roof rack...

• Will Installing Hitch on 2009 Acura TSX Prevent Car From Being Jacked Up
  
• The Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24899 would be an excellent choice for your 2009 Acura TSX. The tow hook would be used to winch the vehicle up onto a flatbed tow truck, but it isn't used as a jacking point according to the owner's manual. The jacking points for your TSX are on the frame rail directly behind the front wheels and right in front of the back wheels. I found this on page 461 of the online copy of the owner's manual in the 'changing a flat tire' section. Because of...
