When it comes to installing the trailer wiring on your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder that already has a brake controller I recommend The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118266. The location of the plug is underneath the vehicle, near the driver's side rear tire.

This harness is constructed of 16 gauge bonded wire.

I attached a installation video link below.

If your trailer does not have brakes your best and easiest route would be to use the adapter part #37185. Your 4-way plugs into it's 4-way and you have both a 4-way and 7-way with just taillight functions. If you need trailer brakes you'll…
