Factory vs dealer hitch wire harness
My dealer told me not to order my new CX-5 Touring with the towing package, because it's cheaper to buy a hitch and harness kit and install it myself. After looking at harness installation instructions on a few hitch websites, it looks like a real pain in the butt, and I am hesitant about using splices to tie into existing taillight wires. So, the question is, if I order the towing package from the factory, will the wire harness be connected to the vehicle wiring using one of those nice T-connectors like they have on trucks? You know, the ones where if you have to replace your hitch wire harness do to damage, you just lay under the back of the vehicle and disconnect the damaged one and connect the new one? This way no wire splicing involved, meaning no shorts, corroded splice connections, etc.
