Yes, you will need to run two power wires to the battery when installing the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. The first power wire that goes to the 4-way is for the converter and that's what actually powers the trailer lights. The second power wire that goes to the 7-way is for powering a battery on the trailer if equipped. If you don't have a battery on the trailer then the second power wire is not needed but the first is. view full answer...
Curt is the only hitch manufacturer that I am aware of that has a strap requirement on some of their trailer hitches. Draw-Tite does not have that requirement. The purpose of the strap is to reduce some of the stress on the hitch when using hitch mounted accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. When there is an option we tend to recommend a hitch that does not require the strap.
The strap in question is # 18050 and I have linked a video showing how it works. view full answer...

Yes, to install the Curt Class-I trailer hitch # C11025 you referenced, you will need to remove the heat shield during installation and modify it when reinstalling.
When pushing the heat shield back into place, you will most likely need to modify or bend it into position to re-install.
Take a look at the installation video at the 0:59 and 6:47 minute mark and the helpful article I included for you. view full answer...
I checked with my source at Kat/5-Star and they confirmed that the Kat Heaters Custom Fit Cartridge Engine Block Heater # KH11812 is going to plug into the "FL"(front left) port on the engine block diagram I have attached to this question. When sitting in the drivers seat, looking down on the engine this will be the port on your left on the side of the engine that is farthest from you.

The heat shield needs to be removed in order to install the Draw-Tite # DT74MR on your 2020 Hyundai Sonata because it prevents the hitch from being in direct contact with the mounting surface on the underside of the vehicle.
The good news is that the steel the hitch is constructed of will serve the same purpose as the heat shield, which is to isolate the vehicle underbody from the heat generated by the exhaust. In other words, removing the heat shield to install the hitch will not have... view full answer...
Disappointingly, Kat's Heaters was unable to provide any specific information on installation procedure or location over and above what's mentioned in the installation instructions which appear to have been incorrect. We did however have a customer who managed to complete a successful installation and sent along the procedure he used and some photos from the installation.
Here's the procedure he so graciously provided:

To access the wires that supply power to the taillights at the rear of the 2011 Hyundai Tuscon, you will need to remove two Phillips head screws that hold the taillight assemblies in place, see photo link. After the screws are removed, carefully work the taillight assembly straight out from the rear of the vehicle, wiggling it slightly side to side.
Once you have the tail light assembly pulled away from the vehicle you will be able to access the wiring connectors for installing a 4-Way... view full answer...
The weld nuts in your 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe will use Grade 5 bolts that are M10- 1.25 x 30. There is also another bolt, washer, and nut on each side required for the installation of the Curt # C13073. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75684 will only use those four bolts and washers. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11812 will install on the right front location of the engine block on your 2013 Hyundai Elantra. If you are sitting in the vehicle this will be the forwardmost location on the passenger's side as you can see from the attached photo.
For this type of heater you simply clip it into the cavity on your engine block which means you won't have to remove the core frost plug. Please note that you do not want to use this heater with 100% antifreeze... view full answer...
When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13195 on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe the underbody panel on the driver side will be removed but it will be reinstalled once the hitch is in place. I have attached a couple images of these two steps (Steps 2 and 9) from the installation instructions as well.
This Class III hitch is custom-fit for your Santa Fe meaning it will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. I have attached the complete installation instructions... view full answer...
It would not be good to install the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 without the included circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is what would cut the current if something were to happen. view full answer...
The Replacement Outer Link Plate for Fastway e2 Sway-Control Bracket # FA93-02-5350 should fit with the Replacement Sway-Control L-Bracket for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems - 6,000 to 12,000 lbs # FA93-02-5150 and is designed to allow a little movement with the bolts being so close together.

The converter box for Curt wiring harness # C56346 was indeed meant to be mounted outside of the vehicle, underneath where it will be away from tire spray and the elements in general. If I may quote the instructions which I have also linked:

Actually, removing the heat shield when installing the Draw-Tite # 24965 receiver hitch on your 2016 Hyundai Sonata isn't a problem because the hitch itself provides more heat protection than the flimsy sheet metal that the heat shield is constructed of. Removing a portion of or even all the heat shield is a pretty common occurrence when installing a trailer hitch. I've linked the installation video for reference.

The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts # KH11812 can be left in the "RF" port of your 2012 Hyundai Elantra GL 1.8L engine block but you should only run the block heater for a couple of hours before you plan on cranking the engine. If you're like me and want things to be easy you can buy an outlet timer and set it to two hours before you plan on leaving for the day so that it will automatically kick on and start warming the engine block. view full answer...
Looking at the installation instructions, as well as the video, trimming will not be required for the installation of the # e28AR. It appears as though the removal of panels only applies to the Kia Sorento, not your 2023 Santa Fe. However, you will have to lower the exhaust to be able to access the weld nuts.
I have attached the installation video below, along with the written instructions for your reference. view full answer...
Instead of starting with a tap, I recommend instead a good thorough cleaning using a penetrate like WD-40 and a wire brush like # DW00254. You can spray down the holes, let it set for about 10 minutes, and then run the wire brush vigorously in the holes. You may have to do this several times to thoroughly clean the holes. It just takes a little time and some elbow grease, but cleaning the holes will not run the risk of damaging the threads like a tap would.
