Tow Ready 118265 Trailer Wiring Connector Kit for Honda Pilot

Great product. Installed easy and is made of high quality wires. Comes with all you need. It took me 30 minutes to install. Very nice product.

First of all, this is a harness, and as all mechanical pieces, it will either work or not.As many pointed out, the instructions are lacking and will be next to useless. Turn to youtube and watch the install video - especially on getting access to the Pilot's compartments and underneath the car. If you take your time to see the video and think well and review your installation steps, installation will take only a few minutes. I spent probably a couple of hours surfing the web to understand how to un-clip the harness connector under the car, close to the exhaust but that led to a smooth, clean and effortless installation. Check the video link!As far as the harness, like i said, it is a harness - the connectors and cables going into the plugs don't wobble, construction looks solid and plugging into the receiving ends of the pilot was effortless - if you can connect a fuse and a relay in your car and plug two connector ends, then this is all the skill you need.2015 pilots with the tow hitch do NOT come with a pre-cut hole to install the 7 pin connector. You will need to cut it yourself, either with a knife, a rotary tool or any other of your choice - craftsmanship in this step will make a difference in how your connector will look. I cut mine with a precision knife to make a good round hole to insert the 7 pin receiver and got 4 stainless steel screws and nylon nuts from the hardware store. Stainless steel so they won't rust and nylon nuts so they won't loosen. Much more elegant than using tread Loctite in my personal opinion.I did NOT purchase the steel "L" shaped bracket many suggest - I wanted to use the hole next to the hitch that's meant for it. If you do it right, you won't need further support. If you get sloppy cutting the hole to install the 7 pin then you will absolutely need to re-inforce it. Again - patience and craftsmanship in cutting your connector for a professional result is key.After installing everything - end to end took me about 20 minutes, including cutting the hole, it looks as if it was factory installed and did not have any issues hauling my trailer on a 12 hour road trip, wind and rain tested.Original Honda part goes for anywhere between 190-250 dollars, plus installation fees. Total price after installation was 1/3 of that price - what's not to like?

This installation was a breeze and I would encourage anyone to first view the YouTube tutorial. I didn't care for the stainless steel self-tapping screws used in the video as they real don't make it look like a factory job. I went with 5mm (black) Carbon Steel Hex Socket Button screws and believe the finished job is much more profession looking. See picture.

Needed trailer wiring to complete trailer hookup on 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L

I bought this kit for my 2015 Honda Pilot. The kit comes with everything you need. This was an easy install. There are a few YouTube videos of people installing this step by step, which makes it even easier. I highly recommend using these to help you along.The only issue is I did have some trouble with installing the 7-pin connector to the bumper. The shape of the connector doesn't really match the spot on the bumper where the factory version would go, so it is difficult to cut out the right portion of the bumper to make it fit. I probably didn't have the right tools for this part of the job. A box-knife didn't make the cleanest cuts but it got the job done.I would say I have below average handyman skills, but this still only took under an hour to install. I definetly saved time and money by doing it myself.I would recommend picking up 7-pin to 4 pin adapter/tester. I knew I would need this anyway and it allowed me to test the lights as soon as I finished the job. I didn't need the seperate mounting bracket that other reviews recommend.

I purchased this product twice, previously for our 2012 Pilot and recently for our 2015 Pilot. Both times the installation took less than 30 minutes and the trailer lights worked perfectly on the first plug in. Quality product that rivals the OEM parts but at 1/4 the cost.The instructions could be clearer, but I just used Youtube to find an installation guide which made it easy.

Item worked perfectly on my 2013 Honda Pilot. Took roughly 20 to 30 minutes to install cleanly but you could slap it all together in 5 minutes in a pinch situation. Watch a YouTube video on it if you really want to make it effortless. I work for a Honda dealership and even with a discount the factory harness is almost twice as much as this one. Time will tell but quality seems to be solid so I don't expect any longevity issues. Highly recommend.

The installation is straight forward with the help of YouTube. The instructions were not very thorough at all! The hardest part of the installation was removing the weather proof seal from the harness connector underneath the car. Other than that, the quality & construction is very good! Another tip would be to use dielectric grease on all connections to avoid any corrosion.

It is pretty easy to install following the instruction. I just finished a round trip with a 5x8 trailer between Richmond Hill and Kingston - the wire signal works perfect.BTW, I bought the 7 pin to 4 pin converter from U-Haul just to make it simple.

Revisando el kit solamente viene un relé, siendo que en el instructivo menciona que son dos los que incluye y se requieren, la foto donde el paquete esta cerrado con uno solo.

2015 Honda PilotSuch a simple install. I watched a video before tackling the project and I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I bought a $15 adapter to convert it to a 4 prong so I’m prepared for both types of hook ups.See...even a woman can do it. Lol😉

Excellent product

Easy to install. I followed Youtube videos and did it ALL BY MYSELF. That was satisfying.
