They have suggested Tekonsha Prodigy 3P controller but you can recommend what is best for our car/trailer combination.

The P3, part # 90195 will be a very good brake controller for you. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.

If you do not have a trailer connector on your Lexus I recommend part # 119178KIT. This kit comes with the circuit tester to help make sure you find the correct wires behind the tail lights when installing the kit.

You will then need part # ETBC7. This connects to the 4-way connector and the additional wires will need to be hardwired. I have attached a drawing that shows how the wiring is run when installing a brake controller and the # ETBC7.
