7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Pilot

Question:

I previously did the wiring to add a 4 pin connector for my utility trailer on my 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L which came tow ready. I am now ready to buy a hybrid travel camper which needs a 7 pin connector and a brake controller. I believe that part 118253 has some parts I already installed when running the 4 pin connector back but I am not sure. Also I dont know which brake controller will work for my needs.

To replace the 4-way of your 2009 Honda Pilot with a 7-way you will need the part # 118253. There may be a few components that you already installed on your vehicle when you did the 4-way, but this is the only tow package style route for a 7-way for your vehicle that we offer.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

To install this controller all you would need is the correct harness, part # 3070-P.
