Installation of T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness on 2016 Mazda CX5

Question

Question:

Hi, for your wiring harness 118563 2016.5 Cx5 the pics show the wire coming out the back of the boot to hook the trailer, but the video shows it as being mounted through the floor of the trunk. Can this harness be mounted in either configuration?

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118563 can be run out the trunk hatch on your 2016 Mazda CX5 or it can be run to the exterior using a grommet and some sealant. It is a preference option. I've attached both videos so you can determine your wiring preference.
