We do offer an adapter that will work for your 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is the Hopkins 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter, part # 37185. This will plug into the 4-way connector on your vehicle and will give you a 4-way and a 7-way connector. I have attached a photo that shows where the wires need to be routed when installing this adapter.

The wires on the adapter can be attached for the following;
White: Ground
Blue: Brake
Black: "Hot" Lead - 12V power supply
Purple: Aux. - Reverse Lights etc.

To provide a secure mount for your new connectors I recommend a no-drill mounting bracket like part # C57202.

Anytime you are working with electrical connections I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This helps keep dirt and moisture out of the connectors and prevents corrosion.

I have attached a link to an installation video for this adapter you can check out.
