Although that would make things easier you really do need to route the power wire that comes with the Curt T-Connector # C56259 up to the battery on your 2012 Subaru Impreza. This wiring kit is designed to function independently of the OEM wiring on your Impreza so if you were to connect this to a 12V outlet then if something went bad on your trailer it could leak over to your vehicle. We also don't know what else this outlet is connected to so it may be very easy to bust a fuse and then... view full answer...
Installation of the T3 cradle replacement strap is pretty straight forward. You will need to remove the end cap from the end of the bike support arm, a Phillips screw typically holds the cap in place.
Next use a small amount of soap and water to help the cradles, # 853-5829, slide off easily. Once you have the cradles off installation is just the reverse, orient the strap, cradle and anti sway bracket, if needed, together and then slide them on to the correct position.

I am sure there is a way you could mount the Vision X Xmitter Prime IRIS Off-Road Light Bar # XPI-12M to the Yakima Load Warrior part # Y07070 if you wanted to, but aside from modifying light bar brackets like part # 57-0000 there really isn't a way that I can recommend. view full answer...
I would first start off by inspecting inside of both the vehicle and trailer side connector for corrosion or buildup. Make sure to clean out both sides of the connector before reattaching. Once this is done you will need to check for a proper ground at the connector and at each light. Some tail lights are grounded through the mounting bolts. I have included a video that explains how to test for a proper ground.
If you cannot find a ground problem, you can move on to the wiring. First,... view full answer...
To carry your 2 Electra Townie bikes with the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 I believe you will need to use the Yakima Adapter # Y02531. This attaches between your handlebars and your seat post to provide a horizontal top tube that allows your bikes to hang level on the bike rack. The only other thing to keep in mind is that the FullBack has a 35 lb per bike weight capacity.
Another option would be to install a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76209 or EcoHitch # 306-X7350 on your 2018 Subaru... view full answer...
There will be minor fascia trimming required when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11120 on your 2014 Subaru WRZ STI. In the attached picture the required trimming is noted. The hitch is designed for vehicles with the quad tip exhaust.
When using this hitch to carry a bike rack, Curt requires using the Curt Support Strap # 18050. I have attached a brief demonstration of this strap.
The Curt hitch # C11120 that you referenced is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. It looks... view full answer...
I really wish I had an exact write up for running the power wire on the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118573 to the battery on your 2015 Subaru Impreza but as we have not had the chance to install this harness yet, I do not. There are actually multiple different ways you can run the wire so exact instructions are rarely provided. As you mentioned you can run the power wire under the vehicle but you need to steer clear of any moving parts like the driveshaft or parts that emit heat... view full answer...
On any of the trailer hitches for the 2014 Subaru Impreza hatchback with single exhaust you may need to enlarge access holes in order to install the hitches. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # DT24959 is the same way. Enlarging an access holes is fairly easy using a file, drill, or rotary tool of some kind. The holes normally do not have to be enlarged very much at all if they even need it.
If you plan on doing some towing then I also recommend ball mount # 3593. It includes a pin and clip. For... view full answer...
The Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F transports bikes with dual wheel-clamping hooks. With full fenders on front and rear wheels being commonplace on eBikes, the placement of the SuperClamp hooks need to be adjusted accordingly, but they will certainly work with together.
When a fender is used on the front and/or rear wheel, clamp the hook to the wheel where the fender ends. We also strongly recommend the use of the included front and rear wheel straps, especially when transporting bikes... view full answer...
The aftermarket exhaust tips should not interfere with you being able to install this Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11317. What would cause problems would be if the aftermarket exhaust had mufflers that were larger in diameter than the stock mufflers.
The # C11317 does require some minor drilling for installation, but with a decent drill and drill bit you should not have a problem installing this hitch.
You may need the following items to complete your... view full answer...
I am not sure why the Impreza in the video has a large cut out in the bumper. It was a customer vehicle and they may have had something else installed there at some point. Trimming is not required for installation of hitch # C11286. I have included a link to the instructions so you can see for yourself that trimming the bumper is not needed to install the hitch.
For trailer wiring use # 118573 for a non-WRX/STi wagon. I have linked instructions for the wiring as well. The hitch comes... view full answer...
I contacted our representative at Curt about installing the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11497, on your 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. He informed me that there will be minimal trimming on your rear bumper fascia at the very bottom approximately 1/2 inch by 1/2 area, possibly less. Since the trimming will be at the very bottom of the bumper fascia, it should not be very noticeable.
To trim the bumper fascia, you could use a utility knife, tin snips or a dremel tool.
This trimming is to allow... view full answer...
There is a bit of fascia trimming needed on your 2019 Subaru Impreza hatchback to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7350.
If you check out the accompanying cut out you can see that it requires a 2-1/2" square to be cut. This will allow your '19 Impreza to have a hitch that his hidden except for the receiver; I have added a photo a customer sent in of your 2019 Impreza with this hitch installed so you can see how it will look on yours.

The T-One # 118744 installs on your 2018 Subaru Impreza by teeing into your vehicle wiring behind the turn signals. It receives power via the black wire that is routed to the battery on your Impreza. If you fail to connect the power wire then your trailer lights won't be able to draw enough power to function.
Some people also ask about connecting the power to a 12V source at the rear of the vehicle since a lot of newer vehicles have a 12V socket in the rear hatch area. While this seems... view full answer...
The exhaust only needs to come down a little bit to install this # C11120 on your 2012 Subaru Impreza. An easy way to support the exhaust once you remove the fifth exhaust hanger would be to use a tie-down like our Snap-Loc Tie Down part # EM51324 to secure the exhaust to a part of the vehicle before you lower it so that the strap will hold the weight of the exhaust while it is off the hangers. You can adjust the cam buckle to raise or lower the exhaust once it is supporting the weight... view full answer...
The lower bumper fascia would need to be trimmed approximately 1-5/8 inches by 4 inches.
You can get a better idea of the necessary trimming by checking the install instructions, and looking at the photo I produced for you.
Remember the old woodworkers adage: Measure twice, cut once.
If you were planning on using the receiver as a mounting point for a bike rack or cargo carrier, be aware that Curt requires the use of a stabilizing strap like part # 18050. Failure to use a stabilizing... view full answer...
Unfortunately, I don't have any video footage at this time to provide you but I have a better set of instructions with more photos that might be more helpful.
Curt offers the # C56368 wiring harness that installs in the same manner as the Tekonsha # 118573, so their more helpful and clear instructions should make things a little more clear for you. I've linked the instructions for you to look over.
If you have any specific questions, please let me know and I'd be happy to help. view full answer...
I have included a link at the bottom of the page to the instructions for wiring harness # C59496. In the mean time the red wire is for brake lights, green is right turn signal, yellow is left turn signal, white is ground, brown is running lights, and black is the power wire.
We do not re-sell returned items. We have to kit the harnesses together with the extra wire and fuse holder though so you get everything in one package. view full answer...
Yes, you are correct. You will need to cut the loop, strip both ends of the wire and then use the included butt-end connectors to attach the fuse to the Curt Wiring Harness # 56061 and the ring terminal to the positive side of the battery in your 2012 Subaru Impreza Sedan.
I would recommend cutting the wire in the middle so that you have equal distance of wire on either side of the fuse. view full answer...
For the 2012 Impreza Hatchback, the correct hitch would be the Curt # C11286. For WRX or WRX STi Hatchback models, the correct hitch would be # C11120. The # 11317 you mention is a fit for the WRX Sedan model only.
Of all the hitch manufacturers we deal with, I believe Curt does the best job on their installation instructions. I have linked you to the instructions for both hitches mentioned above. If you click the provided link, you can see a video showing the hitch being installed on... view full answer...
