Sounds like you have a 7-way connector on your 2009 Pilot and are looking for a way to connect it to your Jayco pop up that has one of their square style 6-way connectors.

Since there isn't an exact adapter for what you are trying to do your best option would be to remove the square connector from the trailer and install a # A7WCB in place of it. This will allow your trailer to be towed much easier by other vehicles in the future as well.

You will want to verify the functions of the wires on your trailer by either applying 12 volts to each circuit to see what activates or by tracing them to see where they terminate and then wire the new 7-way according to the diagram I attached.

To make a 7-way to 6-way square adapter will require you to get the part #37995 to use the 6-way end and then wire up a 7-way to it like part #H20043. This will give you the adapter you would need since there isn't one already pre-made.
