In my experience I have found that the Tekonsha harnesses like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118569 seem to have less issues than units like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56008. I feel that Tekonsha uses a more durable power module that holds up better to road vibration and shock inside the vehicle.

I also see that the Tekonsha harness for your 2018 Acura RDX added a seperate ground wire rather than using the ground wire in the factory harness. I have linked the installation videos for both below to help you see the slight difference with the installation due to the additional ground wire.
