Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Toyota Prius v with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.
Features:
Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the included 10-amp fuse into the in-line fuse holder.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.We got this hitch and wiring harness for our '12 Toyota Prius V to pull a small aluminum Kayak trailer and for hauling bikes . The hitch was super easy to install (had my daughter help) and the wiring harness was a piece of cake. I was done with both installations in under an hour without rushing. The ground clearance for the hitch is good and has a nice low profile, it actually doesn't look out of place on the vehicle.
Being the Prius V"s wiring is different then most U.S. Cars this is just the product needed to be able to pull a light weight trailer that has E-Trailers L.E.D. lights installed
This was super-easy to install in my 2016 PriusV! No wire cutting, very few panels needed to be gently coaxed into a new position momentarily, and while installing I even discovered a bung in the bottom of the spare tire well that allowed me to route the wiring outside the car via an inconspicuous route.
Great product with easy install instructions. No wire splicing required! Only problem was with the double sided tape to mount the converter box wasn’t strong enough. Seemed like it lost its adhesion ability due to heat
You had sent me 2 of the Towready and neither one would work.
I received the Curt harness at 3 pm today and in about 30 minutes
it was installed and worked perfectly. Thank you for making this
right.
Great trailer wiring kit. Easy to install with included instructions.
This is made excellent, was exactly what I needed for my 2014 Prius V. Was very easy to install, only took about fifteen minutes to complete. Definitely plug and play is the way to go for any wiring installation.

Second time ordering a product from e trailer. Very impressed with tracking emails. Easy installation video available on the web site.
The installation is very straightforward and easy. And while a large part of the ease is related to the manufacturer, this install kit makes it about as easy as it possibly can be.
Curt always has quality products. No wire cutting, just plug an play with this kit.
Wow! Product was received a day after I ordered it and with the online do it yourself video I was able to complete the installation myself. Everything went exactly as shown and explained in the video.
Thanks so much!
Always quality products. And, great instructions (written and videos). I recommend them.
Ordered twice from etrailer. While one product was received damaged, the response tothe return and reship was excellent. Great cpommunication from all concerned. Products ordered work as indicated.
Great except the wire leads are about six inches short!
To install was as easy as1-2-3 shipping was fast good service as always.
