We have trailer wiring kits that fit your 2019 Acura RDX that does not have the 12 volt power provision but they are universal style kits like the # 119250KIT and not the custom install kit that you referenced. That said, the ZCI uses sensors to tap into the vehicle wiring instead of splices so the install is not invasive and still relatively easy.
