There is no wiring kit for the 2023 for a trailer, which really sucks, I have been on with e-trailer since i got my palisade 2023 model. so they tell me know they are not making a wiring kit plug and play. and this teknosh or what the name is was sold to another company. and they will not be making the wiring kits. i have been trying since sept. 2022 and got nothing. So I am still waiting for a kit and Hyundai has no idea what they will be doing. The trailer hitch itself fits all of them but no wiring, it does SUCK. And there are no fuses in the panel or can you even add them., they have been deleted from the vehicle.

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately the local dealer says that is an invalid part number. Did not realize they would be different between CA and US. Could you post a pic of the instructions for removing the tray. I took the screws loose but it is still in there tight. Do not want to force anything and break it.

That part doesn’t fit the 2023 palisade calligraphy And e trailer doesn’t have it and they are telling me it’s been discontinued before they even manufactured it so do not believe what they are saying. As of know there is no wiring for this vehicle

 

[hyundaipalisade2653]

I sent eTrailer.com a message asking when they might have the hitch that fits in behind the bumper on a 2023 Palisade.

This was their response: We are still waiting on the hitch and wiring fits for the 23’ Palisade to be released. Hopefully will get them before October but I do not know for sure.

I ordered the 7 pin wiring kit from Hyundai (in Canada) it it came in about 4 days. Part number S8F67 AC800. It was $200 plus tax just for the part. I just finished installing it. So the 2023 is prewired for the hitch with a 8 pin connector, that looks just like the one on previous years, but it's in a different spot. You have to remove the trunk tray and then look under the driver side luggage panel. You have to connect the wiring harness to that, then cut a hole in the grommet to send the trailer hitch wire down to where the hitch is. You also have to wire up a little control module and ground it. It was all way easier than I thought. The liner came out easy and the panels all popped off without much fuss. The instructions that come with it are really good. The kit also comes with a harness that installs in the dash by the fuse panel for a brake controller. I don't have one though so I didn't install that.

This is what it looks like with the trunk tray removed (right is front of vehicle). The grommet is in the top right. You can see where I cut it to run the wire through it. You can also see the corner of the white pre-wiring harness to the right of it. Not sure why they hid it there, it would be way easier to access if it was just left in that panel underneath the car. The control module is on the left.

The kit didn't use the wiring harness that is located tucked up under the bumper, so I'm still not sure what that is for. See below.

I think I found it!!!! Canadianbacon is it a white connection?

Just to confirm, the pre-wired plug adapter on the 2023 is different than previous years. You need to get a kit speficially for a 2023 like I did. Here's the new adapter compared to the old...

My system is working fine and did not use that unknown adapter under back bumper. Still no idea what that is for.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I found it!! After months of frustration and taking the tray out a couple of times I just found it and ordered the part from CA!

@Pali23 Any update regarding the part you ordered?

I've been following this issue since we just bought a '23 LTD and want to tow. We also ordered this part and are hoping it works as others have claimed, just not sure how long it will take. Thanks everyone for the pics, very helpful.

I called last week and they said new ETA is in 4 weeks. Still waiting 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄 . I hope I can get it for June. I will let you know. Keep me posted if you get yours. When did you ordered it?

JUST got a call at 12:30PST from Hyundai Parts Pro, letting us know that the order we placed yesterday currently has an 8-week delay. So ordered 4/12 and expected 6/9 or so.

I'll try to keep this thread updated, including any success with install. I am planning to use a guy locally in Phoenix, AZ who does nothing but hitch and wiring installs. Planning to use the Curt class III hitch, 7-pin connector, and a proportional brake controller.

That is the same as in my 23 SEL ,kind of hidden

 

[dtbrau]

The hitch is the eTrailer one, not factory.

I did not go through the brake controller installation yet, but the manual seems clear.
I will do this soon.

which hitch did you order from etrailer and did you get the bracket for the 7 pin harness there as well? thanks

I have a 23 Caligraphy and need to pull my boat. Called Hyundai customer dis-service and they apologized for knowing nothing about anything. Called Stealth Hitch and they said the small white connector under the storage compartment is inactive. Hyundai is negligent in handling the whole hitch situation and has caused harm to owners. Does anyone know of an active class action suit regarding the hitch? If not, it is time to start one.

StealthHitch is wrong. I bought the part from Canada. I installed it and it works as advertised. I also installed a redarc brake controller and plugged it into the plug under the dash. That works also.

Although I do agree the way this was handled is terrible. A real black eye on Hyundai. In my conversation with customer service they acknowledge how bad this is. And say that Hyundai knows this and is working hard to fix it. I personally would like to know why it is such an issue for the 23 since they are not part of the recall. A suit may be the way to go to get some resolution. I wish some of the car magazines that did such glowing reviews would do a follow up. Maybe they could get some information out of Hyundai.

Hi ! Forget all this trouble ... Buy a $8.99 trailer extension wire , open two taillights and connect 4 wires the old way and done...! Easy ! I did it !

 

[PBandJon]

UPDATE: Just received my wiring harness from Hyundai Parts Pro in Canada (ordered exactly two months ago). I can confirm that it is the same plug style that appears under the luggage sub-floor, and includes the 7-pin connector and all installation hardware and documentation. Excited to get it installed now!

I just got off the phone with my dealer. They gave me a part # as S8F67-AC700. Does anyone know about this p/n? It's US.

HARNESS AND HITCH AVAILABILITY - USA!

The Hyundai USA site listed the 2023 Palisade harness last Wednesday and the instruction sheet. Says the hitch is not available until Fall '23. The harness install sheet is listed there for download and it shows the PN's for the hitches as well. hyundaiaccessories.com (Listed the new harness PN S8F67-AC700)

I found several USA Hyundai parts sites showing the new harness S8F67-AC700 and S8F61-AU300 Hitch Calligraphy with bumper cover for sale. I canceled the S8F67AC800 Canadian harness I had on order and ordered the USA version part number last Wednesday and it is delivering to my home tomorrow (Monday 8/14/23) hyundaipartsdeal.com

Knowing the hitch is not available yet S8F61-AU300, figured I'd get my name on one anyway. Ordered it too via hyundaipartsdeal.com Sales contacted me and said not in production till October and I asked to keep it on order and they did. Two days later, they canceled my order stating the PN is not valid. Unless there will be a PN revision, Im guessing they do not want or cant order a not yet in production part number. So, I will keep checking each week to see if it can be ordered or if there is a new PN.

Hope all this helps.

I installed mine yesterday. The car-side white connector was a little tight for my liking I just made sure there wasn’t a strain on it after connecting. The rest was fine. I just went through it step by step. I zip tied my 7-pin up behind the bumper. My hitch install is at the end of the week and my brake controller is on the way so no front connect yet.
