What Is Needed To Install Brake Controller And 7-Way Adapter On 2008 Honda Pilot?
Question:
Im trying to install a brake controller and 7 blade plug to my 2008 Honda Pilot. I believe this came with the tow package and it has a wiring harness under the hood. Can you give me some guidance on how to proceed?

In order to install a brake controller and 7 pole adapter, you first need to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118336. I have attached a step-by-step installation video.
Next you will need to install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7 to convert the 4-way to 7-way. I have attached a video for this as well.
Finally, you will need a brake controller and harness. I recommend the Brake EVN # TK63VR. For the adapter, you will want to get the Brake Control Plug-In Harness # 20127. I have attached videos for these products as well, along with attaching a guide for installing a brake controller that may help out.
