Not enough fuse! Best in the Towing and Winching Category

After a lot of troubleshooting there is a 4th fuse on the cable in its compartment. Unlike fuses for the van. 10 amp fuse. This is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions and is not included in the box. I almost sent it back thinking it was defective. After I installed this fuse (bought for $3 at a local auto parts store) it worked fine.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • I will write later

Outstanding in the Towing and Winching category

Very easy to install with basic hand tools. The electrical wiring was connected directly, allowing for an easy and professional installation. The fuses required for the rear fuse box are included along with instructions on which fuse slot to fit them. The only problem was that one of the locations given in the guide was wrong. However, this is easily fixed by reading the stickers on the fuse panel. In general very satisfied.

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Weight

Need it for trailer lights :)

Very easy to install. The manufacturer designed it to be installed inside, and the cables must be permanently routed in the trunk. I do not like it. However, the problem is that the 4-pin connector does not fit into the recess on the car's chassis. Honda solved this problem by using a smaller plug inside the car. For a permanent outside mount I bought a 4P extension, cut it off, fed it through the cut in the car's chassis and plugged it back in. Then I hid all the wires behind the plastic…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Expensive

Don't expect support after banker's hours.

It would be great if I could install this. But the fuse and several plugs were not included. I tried calling support, although that didn't work for me today. But there is no one to answer the phone. I mean, who tries to do projects like this on the weekend, right? I also bought their hitcg trailer. which required some modifications to fit. Both products were for my car. Pretty disappointed and annoyed.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Nothing

Super easy installation.

I installed this on our 2013 Honda Odyssey. Although the instructions included in the package could be clearer, take a few minutes and just watch the YouTube video for installation. My only concern was that our fuse box didn't have numbered slots, so it took a second to figure out which fuses went where. (The picture in the instructions was helpful but not as obvious as it could have been due to the need for various amp fuses.) 5 stars overall and an easy project.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Only available in white

Installed with very little effort.

Installed according to the instructions with no problems. It was a bit tricky to open the panel wide enough to make the connection, but it was doable. The installation took about 20-30 minutes. After installation I connected the railing and all lightbulbs worked fine. The only thing I don't like is that the cable has to be exposed. In my previous Toyota van it was hidden behind the jack cover so you couldn't see it (hence the 4 stars). I'd rather see a different "pigtail" connector where the…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Easy to install but far from perfect design

Instructions are easy to follow except for removing the travel hooks, they are threaded. I didn't like the idea of hiding the wiring inside and routing it under the hatch door. This means that you have to open and close the sunroof every time you use it, otherwise there is a risk of the cable being pinched or pulled out. To fix this I spent $6 on a 60" 4 wire kit and $4 on a 1/2" plastic wire cover and routed the wiring through the factory hole which already had a grommet under the carpet in…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

2012 Honda Odyssey Almost Perfect

Fairly easy installation on a 2012 Honda Odyssey! Some of the instructions were confusing and didn't seem right, but the YouTube video put it all together. The only reason for 4 stars is that it doesn't fully fit my van model as it cannot be installed "outside" the van without widening the existing opening. When removing the factory socket on the inner trunk lining, a hole becomes visible that is too small for a 4-pin connector. You can drill it out a bit more once you're comfortable with it…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Something different

great kit for 2015 odyssey easy install

this curt pack fits my 2015 odyssey. Installation was easy, I used the YouTube video to fill in some details in the instructions provided. Installation on the Elite trim Odyssey was only slightly more difficult due to the location of the vacuum, but still took less than 30 minutes. In the end I decided to add an extra screw for the battery. I had to attach a ground wire to an open hole on the chassis as I didn't have the tools to drill the supplied screw. others have reported here. I've tried a

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • vulgarity
