Your brake controller will need to be hardwired. We offer an Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC6 for a 6-way connector, or part # ETBC7 for a 7-way. The install kit includes everything necessary for installing the controller, except for the T-1 connector needed to tap into the Jeeps lighting circuits.

We have a Brake Controller Install Guide on the website that you might find helpful. I will provide a link below.
