Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's electrical junction box, which is located behind the driver's-side tail light. You will have to lift the storage lid in your cargo area and remove the panel on the driver's side to access this junction box. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, insert the 10-amp, low-profile fuse in position 2 and the 7.5-amp fuse in position 11 of the junction box (as shown below).
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.
Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.
Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

I purchase the hitch mostly for a bike rack on my 2019 Acura MDX. I got the wiring harness just in case. It was very easy to install both hitch and wiring harness. I was surprise to receive the hitch 4 days early and not a scratch. I am a real customer with no ties to this company.
Great product! Great description! Great install video! Buy it. It works It is the best I was not paid for my review
The harness is as advertised and will suit my purposes well.
BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Piece lost out of box in shipping, new part here the next day! Incredible! Product fits and works perfectly as well.
Easy to install and works perfectly. No cutting or splicing needed, just plug and play!
This hitch was perfect for my new 2017 Acura MDX. The installation took about 20 minutes, that included gathering my tools!
Website was great---easy to determine what wiring was needed and how to install. Shipped quickly and arrived with hitch in 4 days. Instructional video on how to install was well done and easy to follow. Only comment would be on the ground wire.....I found a ground stud that was much easier to get to on my '15 MDX, than what was shown in the video. Found one on the frame on the side of the bumper and the ground wire was able to reach it. etrailer has been great.
Easy Install. Included all the fuses and the video was perfect. Took 15 minutes and another 10 minutes to clean-up everything. Used the Curt LED tester to make sure everything worked (This is a great tester and I'm putting one in each car).
Product works well, not as hidden as say the factory trailer harness, but for the price it's great. Honda/Acura made it easy to install the accessories and this takes full advantage of that. If you go slow, within 15 minutes to install. quickly about 7. Basically taking the stuff out the trunk takes the longest part of the install. Would totally purchase again.
Installed this on our 2016 Acura MDX and couldn't have been more simple. I do recommend watching the installation video and you should be able to install this without even looking at the directions, but the printed instructions are pretty clear as well. This is a plug and play installation for my vehicle anyway and the testing LED worked well also. I chose to drop the harness down through the gromet in the floor pan instead of hanging it out under the tailgate for a cleaner installation but that is a personal preference. The entire installation took about 20 minutes.
David B - 07/14/2018Great product and perfect fit for my Acura MDX. Installed by myself with two auto jacks and 2x4 cribbage between the 2 jacks.
Install only took 10 minutes. Directions fir my car were perfect and well thought out.
Product description was accurate. Easy installations instructions to follow. Customer service agent was knowledgeable kind and efficient. Have used the hitch receiver in my MDX Acura without any problems at all. Strongly recommend this internet outfit and the brands they offer.
Louis P - 05/14/2017This wiring harness was a breeze to install! thanks for making things simple and easy.
Wiring harness could not be much better. Very easy to install, plugs directly into the factory harness, wire in the ground, secure box with provided two-way tape and install fuse (included). An excellent kit.
This is a great plug and play product...great instructions with great photos. One complaint I might have is the little black box came with a double sided sticky pad that even though I cleaned the metal surface for, it won’t stick so for now I zip ties it to a body wiring harness. The harness won’t be needed very often in this case. They wanted the hitch more for hauling bicycles on a carrier. But when they do they will have to drape it out through the hatch. If you want to have the plug outside near the hitch you will have to find a place to run it through the body on yourself. The wiring on this harness is very good quality. Very similar to OEM, the connector too!
As simple as it can get. Videos with instructions on how to wire it properly to the vehicle. Excellent stuff. The only negative thing to say about this is the mounting material supplied with it was not sticky at all. I ended up using the zip-ties to secure it. 10/10!
Haven’t installed yet but it looks perf ect
I bought a Curt hitch for my 2016 Acura MDX and it fit perfectly. Also bought a Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness with 4 pole Flat Trailer Connector and, following the simple instructions, installation was quick and simple. I'm happy to recommend etrailer.com.
This is a great easy to install, after market, flat 4 trailer wiring setup for the 2014 MDX. Installation was very simple and quick. I returned my Acura OEM part once I verified this was working. The Acura part cost three times as much as this part. If you need brake wiring setup, you will need the Acura part.
I’m amazed that this company can make sell and deliver such a great, well engineered and well finished product at such a low price. I was able to install the hitch, by myself, without lowering the spare tire. I put the box the hitch came in under the car, put the hitch on my stomach and slit under the car. About 30 minutes. The wiring harness install was very simple and took about 10 minutes.
This Curt harness is the easiest install on trailer wiring I've ever done. The instructions were vehicle specific and very detailed. Of course the MDX is set up with a connector on a fuse panel that is made to accept trailer wiring so that makes Curt's job very easy but none the less it's a great product.
Purchased the C56192 Wiring Harness with the C13146 Hitch for my 2015 Acura MDX. The harness is as easy as the video. I installed and hooked up to my trailer with all lights working as expected. Recommend to anyone. Both products are seamless for a 2014 to 2016 MDX.
Exactly as described, at the lowest price I found online, and the delivery was way faster than I was expecting for free shipping. It was a perfect fit for my '14 Acura MDX, and the instructions for both the hitch and the wiring harness were very simple and easy to follow. I had the whole thing together in less than an hour. Couldn't be easier.
