#678 of 901 Towing itch on Ody 07 by trmc Mar 07, 2007 (11:28 pm)
Has anyone installed an aftermarket (what brand) towing itch on a 07? Is it worth getting a Honda one versus aftermarket? What is the max towing weight without ATF & PS cooler without damage to the two systems? Thanks for any input.

Replying to: trmc (Mar 07, 2007 11:28 pm) I haven't installed one on an Odyssey, but I installed a Hidden Hitch (purchased on the internet) for my 01 Outback and it was very easy to install, and MUCH cheaper than the dealer would charge. The aftermarket hitch supports the towing capacity of the vehicle (3500 lbs in the case of the Odyssey, according to the marketing literature). I recall that installation on the Odyssey requires some temporary lowering of part of the exhaust system to get the hitch bolted on.

Replying to: trmc (Mar 10, 2007 8:31 pm) I installed the Hidden Hitch on the '06 and didn't have to remove/lower the exhaust at all. It went in easy and took about 20-30 min.

Replying to: trmc (Mar 07, 2007 11:28 pm) A friend and I installed a Reese Hitch on my 07. Only using my hitch for a bike rack...So no wiring. Had to lower the exhaust although it was easier than it sounds ...basically a hangar with a rubber sound mount had to be unhooked to let exhaust hang as we bolted the hitch into the pre drilled holes...then re hooked the exhaust. Took about 15 mins. Got my Hitch at USA-Trailer-Hitch.com.
#683 of 901 Electric brake controller wiring for 2007 Odyssey by buchansn Mar 28, 2007 (4:08 pm)
I have a new 07 Odyssey with factory tow package, which only has a four wire connector. I need to tow a camper that has a seven pin round connector for electric brakes. Does anyone have any info or experience on installing a brake controller and how to convert the connector to a 7 pin round connector? Thank you, Steve

Replying to: chromeking (Mar 23, 2005 7:31 pm) I have a similar issue with an 07 Odyssey. Do you have any info on how to install the brake controller onto the Odyssey brake switch? Did you have to run wiring from the 7 pin connector/adapter all the way back to the brake switch and controller? Thanks for any help.
#685 of 901 Mud Flaps by jmoose Apr 03, 2007 (6:20 pm)
We ordered our 07 Ody with "fenderwell trim", which I thought included the mud flaps (all the photos of "fenderwell trim" both on honda.com and in the brochure include mud flaps (splash guards) in the photo, which I think is a bit deceptive).   Anyway, no mud flaps and we're interested in getting them, but not interested in paying dealer retail for them at our local dealer's parts department. Does anyone know an online source for this option, which I figure I can install myself, that might be less expensive than my local dealer?   Thanks!

Replying to: jmoose (Apr 03, 2007 6:20 pm) I've personally dealt with H and A - Accessories and was pleased with the service and the discount prices.
#687 of 901 Towing Package / Trailer Hitch on 2007 Touring by elfsands Apr 04, 2007 (7:34 am)
We just went to pick up the '07 Ody we ordered almost SIX weeks ago (wanted an interior/exterior combo they did not have on lot)--hubby meant to have the towing package added when we made some minor adjustments to the order over the phone, ended up with the trailer hitch instead. I have several related questions. First, when we were inspecting the vehicle before signing the paperwork, we noticed that they had cut (sawed) a notch in the rear bumper in order to allow for the trailer hitch--looked sloppy and like an after-thought. Dealer agreed that it was done poorly but said that they "always had to cut the notch, Honda doesn't do the trailer hitches at the factory". Really? Almost $40K for a car and they have to saw the bumper to get a Honda accessory to fit properly? So, we're in negotiations now. Easiest solution is to have them just remove the hitch and replace the bumper. However, we would like to have the ability to tow a small boat and trailer and wanted the towing package in the first place. Obstacle there is that we wanted it factory installed instead of at the dealer, assuming that would be best (perhaps no rough holes in the bumper?). Anyone have an idea of what a fair price would be for the complete towing package, and what do you think on whether or not we're getting the truth from our saleman regarding the installation issue on the trailer hitch (that it's never done at the factory and that the bumper "has" to be notched out to allow for it)? Thanks, thanks, thanks! Replies to this message: robr2 (Apr 04, 2007 9:10 am) elfsands (Apr 04, 2007 10:24 am) robr2 (Apr 04, 2007 10:52 am) and 1 more...
