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 |

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!

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!

Replying to: elfsands (Apr 04, 2007 7:34 am) All Honda accessories are dealer installed - Honda does not offer factory options. According the installation instructions for the hitch at that same site, you will note on page 3 that you do have to cut a notch in the bumper.
