Parts Needed to Install 7-Way with Active 12 Volt Circuit on 2008 Lexus RX 400h

Question

Question:

Hello, We have a 2008 lexus 400rx and need to get a wiring kit for a 7 way plug to tow out little fiberglass camper. We dont need a line to the brakes, but need a line to charge the battery in the camper. A 4 way plug is not sufficient. Can you recommend a wiring kit with 7 way plug compatible with our vehicle? Thank you in advance for your advice.

The first thing you need to install a 7-way on your 2008 Lexus RX 400h is actually a 4-way with # C59236 which you will then convert to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7L which comes with everything needed to have a functioning 7-way with the 12 volt accessory circuit active.
