If your 2009 Kia Borrego has the factory tow package with a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, it will be a simple plug and play installation. You will only need the P-3, item # 90195, brake controller and the Brake Controller Wiring Adapter for Kia Borrego, item # 3032-P to install the brake controller on your vehicle.
If your Borrego does not have the factory towing package you will need to use the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2009 Kia Borrego, item # 56104,... view full answer...
The roof rack systems we offer for your 2009 Kia Borrego are intended to attach to factory-installed side rails that run front-to-back on the roof.

All of the roof rack systems made for your car are shown on the linked page. These include racks from Inno that use one of three different attachment components... view full answer...

The plugin for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 and the Adapter # 3032-P on your 2009 Kia Borrego is located by the emergency brake pedal.

Starting with the trailer wiring harness, if your Kia Borrego is equipped with the factory 7-Way connector, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55384 that you referenced is the correct part. This custom harness will plug right into the built-in harness located behind the rear bumper. You will simply plug the harness in-line with the existing 7-Way. This will provide you with a 4-Way connector that will connect with and power your utility trailer's basic signal lights.

For your 2009 Kia Borrego that has a 7-way I can help you wire in a P3 part # 90195 but we don't carry a quick install harness for your vehicle as one isn't available.
For a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your vehicle to find a circuit... view full answer...
Yes you do need to install some fuses under the hood of your 2009 Kia Borrego to install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 with the part # 3032-P. Check the owners manual for brake controller power circuit fuses and insert them into the slots that are missing them. view full answer...
Based on the information you gave, the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RP66072 will be an excellent system for a total tongue weight between 200 and 600 lbs. The total tongue weight is your loaded trailer tongue weight along with any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. This is my favorite weight distribution system because it constantly fights against sway with the dual cam system versus sliding with... view full answer...
I wasn't able to find the location of a factory block heater cord on your 2009 Kia Borrego. If you weren't able to find anything in the areas you checked then your vehicle might not be equipped with one. You can verify this by checking with a local Kia dealer and providing them with your VIN. With this information they should be able to tell you exactly what the vehicle is equipped with and the location of the cord if present.
If you do not have an engine block heater then the Kat's Heaters... view full answer...
The connector for installing a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 that you referenced, in your Kia Borrego is located above and behind the emergency brake pedal. Look for a white 4-pin connector to install the # 3032-P.

We offer both 4-pole flat and 7-way RV-style blade trailer connectors for your 2009 Kia Borrego. The correct harness will depend on the way the car was equipped from the factory.
If you do NOT have a factory 7-way socket then you'll use the Curt T-Connector 4-pole harness # C56184. This harness plugs in at your taillights and requires you to splice only one wire for 12V input power that you'll run up to the engine compartment. I linked an article to help you with the routing of that one... view full answer...
