Extremely easy to install

Installation took about an hour from start to finish. Very easy to follow instructions and goes perfectly with my Sienna.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • unreliable

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Do-it-yourself for the moderately skilled.

Fairly easy installation (hardest part was running the power cable to the battery) and appears to be working well after a month of use. It's also helpful to have a trim removal tool, but you can get by with a flathead screwdriver, although I wouldn't recommend it. It is helpful to watch the installation video of this device and application online.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Requires socket

easy to install and will work fine.

This is a good product and you can find videos online showing the installation step by step. I would like them to pack some extra connectors as they are easily damaged when trying to connect to the wires. In general, it was an easy task, it took maybe two and a half hours, but I was alone and in no hurry. Definitely worth buying.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some bugs

The product is good but the instructions are terrible.

As I said, all parts were present and the build quality is very good. One area that was really missing was the instructions. Without the YouTube video I would have spent a lot more time installing it. I had to contact tech support for help and the number on the box label was very small and incomprehensible. The supervisors were very nice and patient. After the installation everything worked fine. All in all it took me about 2 hours to install.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Minor defects

Simple, powered by 12V auxiliary port

For 2012 Sienna XLE. Easily connects to taillights with built-in adapters. I connected the rear 12v auxiliary port for power instead of running a wire to the battery. Common sense should be used when using the connector in addition to the trailer lights. This doesn't offer trailer brakes/lights when the vehicle is off, but I only tow a jet ski so the time saving was worth it. The instructions could be a bit more detailed for those wanting to route the cable to the battery.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some cons

Works great - for towing and winching

Wiring harness works great and is a true plug and play setup. The assembly of the rear wiring harness plugs is very simple. This requires a power cable to be routed from the back of the car to the battery in the front. This power cord can be difficult (and potentially dangerous) to work with unless you are familiar with automated wiring techniques. IMPORTANT! Be careful to avoid pinch points, sharp edges, moving parts and hot metal. It comes with a built-in fuse, but sometimes it can fail withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Something different

Installation isn't too difficult

I used another review but I like the video at [.] to help you through the process. I didn't find this pre-installation video and wish I could find it, but I was able to find out for myself. However, I used the power wire that goes to the 12 volt power box in the back of the van to power the wiring harness, not the extra 12 volt wire from the battery. I'm not an expert and can anyone tell me why this isn't working, but so far so good and I still never use the 12v power adapter on the back as the

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Fix

Didn't last a day good for external accessories

only took about 2 hours. So my husband spent about 2-3 hours packing it in our van which is fine. We knew we were going to buy it it was going to take a while as he had to run it under the car and into the battery no big deal what the problem was is the system only lasted maybe 2 hours. We rented and tested a U-Hal trailer, everything worked fine. We had a 3 hour one way trip so 6 people (borrowing a couch from a friend) went to get some gas and noticed the lights stopped working. The husbandโ€ฆ

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • thin

The product arrived in packaging that was opened and resealed. All of the individual bags have been opened and the items have not been returned to those bags. Everything was there except for one screw that I could use for my own strength. Instructions were not included. I installed it by running a power wire to the battery under the door panel along the right side of the van and through a hole in the firewall that is under the carpet in front of the passenger seat. Thus, the water is completely

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Transparency
