Installation
To determine where to splice into your vehicle's tail light wiring, you will need to consult the included instructions. Use the quick-splice connectors to attach the input wires of the tail light converter to the corresponding wires from your vehicle. Once you've spliced in the converter, connect the included hot lead to the black wire and run it up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Then locate a flat surface inside your vehicle near the tail lights and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. Find a raw metal surface to use as a ground point and secure the white ground wire using the provided ring terminal and screw. Finally, secure the converter wires to your vehicle using the included cable ties.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on the 4-pole connector to help prevent corrosion.
Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology
Because most trailers run on a 2-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on 1 wire - the signals from your vehicle may have to be converted to be compatible with your trailer's wiring. If your vehicle operates on a 3-wire system, which means that it has separate brake and turn signals, then those signals will need to be combined so that they run on 1 wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. This converter will also ensure that your trailer's lights illuminate fully, even if your vehicle has pulse-width modulation (PWM) wiring. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
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.
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.

2015 Audi Q7
2017 Audi q7 is a "2 wire" setup. I finally figured that out, grounded the red wire and everything works beautifully. I also pulled my power from the fuse box in the left rear luggage area. The red bus has 25 amp fuses. I installed a buddy fuse adapter with the 15 amp fuse that came with this kit. That saved me a lot of time taking apart panels to get to the battery.
Comments
You mentioned that you wired the power wire to the fuse box in the left rear luggage area. I wanted to let you know that it is not recommended using the 12-volt power outlet in the trunk area. The purpose of the powered harness is to eliminate the power draw on the vehicle rear electrical circuitry. Taking power directly from the vehicle battery is the only way to eliminate the draw on the vehicle electrical system.

2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
I tried to follow the directions and code the wires to the car's function. The brake/directional were on the same wire and easy. However, the taillight was testing on two of the remaining wires. I called for clarification and was given the incorrect wire by two different techs. I had to cut that wire and attach to the remaining wire and everything appears to be working properly now.
Comments
One year later and about 3000 miles on the wiring, everything is working as it should. It is scary to close the tailgate on the wiring, but appears to be okay. Just dont get it near the latch!

Installation stretched my limits, but we will blame that on the car and on my narrow limits. It is a tight and clean install. Has worked flawlessly this past year. I used it just yesterday to haul junk and brush about 100 miles for disposal. I would definitely buy this hitch again.
Comments
Wiring harnesses are the bane of my existence. This one was more work to install than the non-powered alternatives. But it has been trouble free. Just sold the car a week ago. I am sure the new owner will have no complaints.

2007 BMW X5
I would not have been able to successfully install the hitch and harness without the tech video instructions. It was nearly identical to my 2007 BMW X5. I just had problems putting in the ground screw because the instruction video placed it under where there is a plastic pocket reservoir, and I had to improvise because I did not know how to remove it, so, I had to drill a small hole at an angle and try to screw the ground screw in level by the help of the angled starter hole, and it worked. The reflectors were a bit challenging because of having to contour my arm and hand around the mufflers to squeeze the clips. The harness green wire was barely long enough, but, all in all, everything worked out great, especially, for someone like myself who does not have a mechanical leaning in personality.

2013 Audi Q5
Pretty straight forward install on a 2013 Audi Q5 S-Line. There is an ground lug on the rear inside panel right next to a convenient spot to mount the unit. I removed the silver panel along the tailgate sill to route the power wire and the trailer plug tail before I started. It clips off easily, and you can reach between the side panel and the battery compartment with your fingers. There's a small electrical connector on the panel, so be careful to disconnect it before yanking on it. Make sure you replace this panel as soon as you have routed the wires, as that electrical connector is to two micro switches that detect if the door is closed... there is no power to the rear lights while the tailgate is up, so this panel needs to be in place before you start wiring. Correct wires were easy to locate. The 2013 Q5 is a little different to the wiring types listed in the instructions, as while the brake runs off the turn signals, there is a separate tail light wire. If you are probing for the wires, close the tailgate, and climb in through the rear passenger door. Here are the correct splices off the tan connector... Tail Light (Brown) - splice to Black with Green trace Left Signal (Yellow) - splice to Gray with Black Trace Right Signal (Green) - splice to Gray with Blue trace Red and White both Grounded together. The only issue I had was that the blue splice connectors supplied are too big for the fine wires on the Audi, so when I tested the install, I had nothing working. I replaced the blue connectors with the smaller red ones, and all worked perfectly then. Start to finish, about 90 minutes.

2009 bmw 528i. you almost can't see the trailer hitch below the bumper. I've NEVER seen a Beemer pulling a trailer............. Electrical hookup was just as the instructions said. BMW has the battery in the right side of the trunk so power hookup was easy. I put the pig-tail down in the spare tire well when not in use. Feel free to use whatever pics you see fit. Great product and install videos.

Product was exactly as described and easy to install. It works perfectly. Installation told 35 minutes. Suggestion for etrailer…The kit only includes one eye ring fastener pre-attached to the white module ground wire. Given that the red module wire will almost always be grounded too, they should include a second eye ring connector. Luckily I had one in my shop.

2021 Toyota Highlander
There needs to be a 2021 Toyota Highlander specific set of instructions, or even better a video. First off, the battery is located behind the right rear wheel well, key points being being the heavier guage battery wire supplied only needed to be about 18" long, as best space available for control module is right next to the battery. Because of that, the long signal wire should be the left side, not the right side, but as the only reasonable place to splice in brake, turn and running lights is at the rear lighting housings, a little primer on removing / replacing them without scratching your paint would help the newbies. Getting wiring from the battery area to the taillight housings could use some clearer instructions. Basically the included instructions, and to a good degree the kit, are a bit too generic for the newer Highlanders.

2012 Chevrolet Volt
The wiring kit was complete, solid construction, clear directions, and worked very well. This was my first time wiring a car for a trailer. I was lucky that there was already a 12 volt power line running near my trunk auxiliary power/cigarette lighter plug), so it was easier than I was expecting. It’s been a year now, and it’s been no issues yet. I don’t remember how much I paid for the kit, but it must have been close in price to others - and it has been a super value for me
