If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Kia Rio sedan (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The Curt 56157 is a T-Connector wiring harness for the Kia Rio Sedan. It allows you to connect trailer lighting to your vehicle's existing taillight circuits. The harness includes a converter box and connectors that integrate with your vehicle's factory taillight wiring.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 for guidance on this step.
You must remove the trunk floor coverings, the rear scuff panel (by pulling out at the bottom then up), and the plastic fasteners holding the felt trunk liner in place on both sides of the trunk. These items are reinstalled after installation is complete.
On the driver's side, pull out the trunk liner to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connector from the taillight housing carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the T-Connector end with the green wire.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided with the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle's frame) is not available. If drilling is necessary, you will drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire eyelet using the provided screw.
Drill a 3/32" hole to secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided.
Locate a flat spot in the trunk area and adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger side behind the trunk liner and removed scuff panel. Use the provided cable ties to secure any loose wires. When in use, route the 4-flat connector out from under the felt trunk liner to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in an out-of-the-way location.
Do not exceed the product's load rating or the tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The Curt 56157 has the following limits: Signal Circuits: 3.0 Amps; Tail/Running Light Circuits: 7.5 Amps. Exceeding these limits can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potentially fire. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's lamp load rating.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. This precaution avoids damage to vehicle components and personal injury.
