I attached an install video that shows how the Prodigy P3 # 90195 would install in your 2009 GMC Sierra for you to check out. The video shows a 2011 Sierra but the process will be the exact same.

You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash.

I also attached a help article that covers everything on installing brake controllers in a truck like yours.
