Every option I see to buy says under the title highlighted with factory brake controller. How do I get this for without factory brake controller and whats needed to install?

Expert Reply:
Your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 may not have the factory electric brake controller but it will have the factory tow package that includes the 7-way trailer connector at the rear. This is good news because all you'll need to install the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is the custom wiring harness # 3016 that plugs in under the dash of your truck.
I've linked the install instructions, as well as a couple of videos and help articles for you to look at as well.
