Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2014 Cadillac SRX

Thanks for the picture! To install a 7-Way harness on your 2014 Cadillac SRX you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one for your vehicle that'll add the 7-way.

Good news is you already have the 4-way. The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your Cadillac. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle, like yours with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. 

You will definitely need a brake controller since your tear camper has a 7-way plug. My personal favorite is the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your tear trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Cadillac. The Liberty has a unique installation method where the main unit is concealed behind your dash and the only part visible is the control knob. The control knob is the size of a nickel so you won't have to worry about it being an eye sore or banging your knees on it.

You will need the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers item # RED69FR to complete the installation, since your SRX does not have a port under the dash to plug a brake controller into.

To get all of these parts installed, I recommend going to the Item # RED24FR product page and scroll down the left side to below the product pictures. You will see a blue link that says, Locate installers near me. Go ahead and click on this link and input your zip code.
