7-Way Adapter Recommendation for 2016 Honda Odyssey EXL with Aftermarket 4-Way
Question:
Will the ETBC7L work with Tekonsha’s Prodigy RF Bluetooth electronic brake control? Or will I still need to tap into the cold brake wire from the brake pedal? ALSO, should I attach the 12v power directly to the battery terminal or to the attached fuse box routed outside my battery? Would a picture help?

For your 2016 Honda Odyssey that has an aftermarket 4-way you'll need to use a 7-way adapter like the # 37185 to convert to a 7-way since your vehicle does not have 7-way or brake controller factory wiring.
That said, I would recommend the part # ETBC7L for the 7-way adapter and then for a brake controller the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180 as this is the easiest to install and best option. Once you plug it into your 7-way and it's synced to your smart phone it's totally ready to tow without excessive wiring.
