Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

Hitch was excellent. Perfect fit. Some difficulty with the weldnuts, as warned in the instructions. Instructions were very good; well prepared and accurate

Delivery was not as good as I was used to with etrailer. Shipment arrived two days after promised date. Probably due to virus problems(?)814936

Great. Hitch behaves perfectly

The product is excellent but the instructions are confusing and not accurate for a 2013 Acura RDX. Do not follow the written instructions in the package. It is much easier than that. Just remove the small panel on the driver side in the rear compartment. Next thread the trailer end of the wire from the inside of the compartment out under the finished floor ( only about 8" or so) this will bring the trailer plug out into the spare tire area. A little tough to wiggle it through but nothing needs to be taken apart. Then plug the blue end of the harness into the blue vehicle plug located inside the panel opening more towards the front and sort of higher up (hard to see). Be sure to plug it in correctly, difficult to undo if plugged in wrong. Then with the supplied double stick attach the harness box to the body inside the panel area. The best spot is just to the rear when looking into the panel opening. The instructions also don't tell you to put the supplied fuse into the "trailer" fuse slot, which should be empty, in the fuse box area under the hood in the Acura 2013. The supplied fuse is a 10 A and the Acura fuse block indicates a 20 A.108992

Installation of Class III hitch on my 2013 Acura RDX was straightforward (able to do it by myself), instructions were clear, workmanship of hitch and parts top notch. Wiring harness plugged into factory wiring; just needed to route wires and install a fuse. Price was very reasonable. BRAVO.593281

Installed hitch receiver yesterday and wiring harness today. To fit in existing grommet at SUV body I cut 4wire next to unit and fed it back through grommet. I then crimp connected 4 wire back to unit. Worked well. I will test with trailer tomorrow. Your site is very helpful with instructional videos etc. Only improvement would be to have plug in connector on 4 wire side of unit.121484

Installw as easy and went as expected. Parts and receivers were packed appropriately
and there was shipping damage. Installation was helped with a floor jack to hold the receiver in place while I put the bolts in.1255712

This wiring kit is easy to install and I would buy it again.930892

Great

Like everyone else said the instructions are poor. Don't bother reading them. I included some pictures that I hope others can use. Simply open the access panel in the trunk on the driver’s side. If you stick your head in and look right you will see a blue connector. Plug the wire harness into that. In the bag you get two fuses. The big one goes with the red rubber container that you will see on the connector harness. The small fuse goes in the fuse box. So far everything is working great. 139512

2018 Acura RDX

The T connect harness is generally a great product that requires no cutting into your vehicle harness. In this case Acura made it too easy because the power comes through the connector as well. If you have tha Acura RDX get this trailer harness and get your car ready for towing.1137279

I have only had the product a few days. but the install instructions are poor. They list the RDX and Accord Crosstour side by side and it is confusing.
They also completely leave out the need to add a fuse for the RDX. Though they include it for the Crosstour. Other instructions linked in these reviews do suggest the fuse.

A picture of the location of the connector for the 2013 RDX are included.

The wiring is also a bit to short to go through the most logical grommet, under the car, and to the hitch. Though the instructions do say to leave it in the spare tire bay. But I don't want to have it hanging out of the hatch when I am hooked up.

Don't get me wrong. The product seems to work great, and once I got the instructions right everything is good. 86846

Great quality wiring harness at an affordable price.1127255

The wiring harness looks well made and, once hooked up, worked great. The reason i say 'good' (and i'm hesitant to give it even that) is because of the instructions for the Acura RDX vehicle. The instructions were flat out wrong. There are several reviews on etrailer.com site that explicitly say the wiring hook up is on the left, but we didn't find those until after we had read the instructions included with wiring harness, torn apart half the body panels on the passenger side of the car only to find nothing. Very frustrating to say the least. if anyone reads this, follow the wiring instructions for the 2007 - 2015 Acura RDX that customers have written on the site. not fixing the printed instructions is just plain lazy, selfish and poor quality control. Fortunately the product and etrailer.com have been really excellent and i will definitely buy product off this site in the future... just maybe i'll be a 'man' and NOT read the included instructions.217974

Works fine in 2014 Acura RDX, just watch the video before you install it. You don’t have to remove the styrofoam for the tire thing though, just slip the wire through between the foam and the rear metal of the car. I stored the wire in the left hand styrofoam thing beside the spare tire. 4 stars instead of 5 because it includes a 10A fuse for the car fuse block even though the car specifies 20A.647161

Still works, no worries.

Liked the product and it appears to work good and easy to hook up but the instruction that come with it were poor. I needed to go onto the Internet and find a instruction video to properly install it or I would have missed the part about putting a fuse into the fuse panel to make it work.1089473

Wiring harness is great but agree with other reviews - instructions are poor, generally too generic. I have 2012 Acura RDX. Instructions say to open driver side access panel, however I didn't need to because the connector is near spare tire on passenger side under the foam insert. Once I located the light blue connector - easy. Look at the prongs for connector, line up and snap together. Insert red fuse in red box and close cover. I also disconnected negative connection to battery before install. Slip protector cover for hitch connection over plug; use to tie up spare wire and cover plug when not in use.419713

Great! Love the hitch, it just works.

I installed the Curt trailer hitch P/N C13130 to my new 2015 Acura RDX AWD. It took about 20 - 30 minutes, I took my time. It looks good. It fits flush with the underneath of the rear bumper of the vehicle (although, I don't know if you can really call it a bumper in this new vehicles) or the frame of the vehicle. Just follow the instructions of the movie clip provided by Etrailer. The wiring connection is no problem either. I used P/N 56008. The trailer connector in the vehicle is located (when looking from the rear) opened tail gate, there is a panel on the left side mid-way of the tail gate. Pop the panel out. There is a blue connector tucked inside approximately 10" from the edge of the opening going forward. (NOTE: Acura recommends that you remove the negative connector end from the battery before doing this, which will reset your navigation system, but you can reset it again after connecting the negative cable back to the battery). Plug the trailer wiring into the blue connector inside the opening . Plug the large fuse (10 Amp) into the red fuse holder in the supplied wiring, make sure it sits all the way in. The black box that came with the wiring harness is the light converter. I placed mine by attaching it to the inside frame with the double adhesive tape that came with it, just make sure you clean the frame of the vehicle with alcohol before applying it. You can feel the frame by sticking your hand inside the opening, towards the back, and as a precaution I tied it with a nylon strap. Route the rest of the wire with the connector at the end for the trailer hook up through the lower, rear foam located in the tire compartment and tuck the pig tail into the tire area. When towing a trailer just open the tail gate, bring the connector outside and close the tail gate. The rubber seal around the tail gate is very flexible and will not pinch the wires.
Lastly, inside the engine compartment there is a fuse box with all the fuses. Inside the plastic lid there are additional fuses. I used a 20 Amp fuse and inserted in the 4th slot, then reconnected the battery, and I am done. Please note: I have not towed as yet and can't assert any thing I have done will work. I am only planning to tow 1500 lbs max. My writing herein is for information only of my own installation. I DO NOT RECOMMEND OR IMPLY ANY USE OF TRAILER PARTS, ELECTRICAL MATERIALS IN ANY VEHICLE.

I bought Curt Receiver and wiring harness for my 2014 Acura RDX and can say installing the hitch was just as expected. about an hour doing it myself. the included instructions were pretty much right on. the wiring harness was a different story. it was the correct harness, but the instructions need updated. the instructions were for a previous year. if anyone reads this and has a 2014 Acura RDX and is trying to install a trailer wiring harness listen to these simple instructions. pull the star shaped panel off the DRIVER'S side of the cargo area. what you see isn't where the connection is. the correct connection is about 6" up toward the front of the SUV in the same area. if you put the included fuse in the 'red in-line connection', you still need one in your fuse box (located under the hood) if you want this to work when your done. you can fish the other end toward the spare tire area or simply let it lay in the cargo area. DON'T bust out the leveling styrofoam either way. it can be fished through with a little playing around.140078

This is probably my 5th hitch from this company no bs don't waste time with others and also wire kits for trailer lights too1054694

Easy peasy! All parts needed were included. As others have noted, the instructions included with kit are not very clear but a look through others’ reviews proved helpful. Seems of good quality and at a good price.1157952

I ordered the trailer wiring harness for my 2015 Acura and it couldn't have been easier to install. It took me less than 30 minutes to get it installed and tested. Great product! Would recommend to anyone looking to do it. When I first ordered it, I thought I may have to get an additional part, but it came with everything needed to make it work.

Thanks for the great product and making it so easy to install!664908

Still working great after a year. Install was a breeze.

Not only was the trailer hitch electrical component exactly what I needed but the installation instructions were extremely easy to follow and specific to my vehicle. Even for a person without mechanical knowledge, like me. Would definitely recommend purchasing from this Company.795441

The harness was very easy to install. Unfortunately, it does not work properly. I tested the harness and there is a failure in the harness. I checked both fuses and they were not the issue.984585

Worked perfect as advertised rare these days. Thx etrailer.com1063833
