First question: why does the picture show the female wiring harness plug (looks like the thing I would need to plug into in the back of my truck)?

I got this item for my 2001 f150 and my 1998 f150 works great and very easy to install. You just plug the 2 small ends into the factory harness and hook up the ground.

This is the section that is installed on the truck. it connects to turn signals brake controller and a battery charge line, the larger square section has the male plugs covered by a dust cover that locks the female section from the trailer in.

This is a T connector. The wire harness will separate by the spare tire and you plug one side of the harness into it. So its a plug and go system.

It is an "in-line" adapter. It allows the factory 4-way to remain active, but also provides the plugs needed to run a 7-wire system. If you are able to download the instructions, it will show how it plugs into the factory wiring, creating a "T" shaped wiring branch.

It is female, the male is on your tirailer. The other two females plug into your vehicles wiring harness

I've got the 2010 Pilot and there was no extra wiring involved. Look under the driver's side rear bumper for a pigtail zip-tied to the frame. It should just have a cap on it. If you can see that, you'll be set for plugging in your trailer wiring. There is a video on YouTube that walks you through step-by-step. It took me about 10 min max.

Mine covers my taillights So it has wiring to plug into a harness on the vehicle just as if it was trailer lights. You will most likely need the same plug.

Its a multi wire plug. You need to buy the aftermarket wiring harness go to your local audio store and ask them for it. It should not cost more than $20.

If you buy it with harness it should be plug and play. It was in my 2006, you will just have to remove old unit and hope they didn't butcher anything up under dash.

It comes with the wiring plug for the headunit so you will have to get the harness plug for your vehicle separate

That is exactly what I did. The harness was slightly different than the stock plug. It came with directions that allowed me to wire it in with no problems. There were some specific instructions about specific years of Ford trucks and the brake wire, but I was able to figure it out with the instructions and a simple voltage meter.

I just received mine today (1/25/2016) and it has a 2 prong plug installed. Would have been nice if they would have included the blank female part of the plug as well, guess I'll just have to cut the plug off.

It does come with the basic wiring. I bought the actual plug to fit my truck though.

I would get more wire (they don't supply enough) also different connectors. . (Butt, male and female connectors. .heat shrink style if possible) ...I didn't connect to my truck horn, I installed a separate switch..It's not too difficult. .Takes some time but is fairly simple. .The difficulty is mainly based on how you want your setup to be.

It is not shown but 4 wires come out of the back about 12 to 18" long with a connector on the end. You may be lucky and find a harnes that fits your truck. More then likely you will have to cut the connector off and run your own wires to the Batery, Brake Light switch and to the rear conector. to Hopkins 47185 Multi-Tow Adapter.

The only thing I can think of is on your particular truck the wires aren't there for it to work that was the way it was on my 1998 F-150 my F-250 was plug and go

Yea mine had the mounting sleeve and the harness. Make sure you take out your old sleeve completely else it wont fit. As for the wiring harness how my system was set up I had to strip the old harness from the car's stereo and reuse it because I didnt have both male an female sides for the harness; I only had one side. It's not much work though.

I would go to Best Buy and get the harness kit that fits your car so you dont have to cut the existing wiring harness, it makes for a neater job, you can make all of your connections and then plug and play.

To make it look like a custom install (YES) To keep the original wiring (YES) You can get them pretty cheap on EBAY like I did, I have it installed and did it myself on my 2005 Chevy Equinox, it did not take too long.

It comes with the harness that plugs to the back of the unit. Also the other end has each wire clearly labeled as to what they are for

Look for the plug on the passenger side by the firewall/fender. The plug isn't very long, it is possible that the wires are wrapped around other wires. Good luck.
