Designed for your vehicle with a factory tow package, this wiring harness plugs into the quick-connect harness located under your dashboard and into your Hopkins brake controller for easy installation.
Features:
To install your Hopkins electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
This adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The port is located in the wiring panel underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, near the emergency brake pedal.
No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

Designed for your vehicle with a factory tow package, this wiring harness plugs into the quick-connect harness located under your dashboard and into your Hopkins brake controller for easy installation.Great product that was very easy to install. Best feature is that the display was small enough to fit in the little cubby hole where the factory brake controller would have been installed on my 2014 Silverado.
Installing it was easy after decided where to put it, although the smart box doesn't want to stay attached to the kick panel with double sided tape. I installed in a 2014 gmc sierra .
I wasn't crazy about the idea of drilling holes in a brand new pickup, but getting over that was the hardest thing about installing my controller with the help of etrailer. plug the square end into the truck box, plug the rectangle end into the cotroller, mount controller box, put tools away. simple as that. will use them again in a heartbeat
I ordered this adapter cable for my brake controller and this is the first time I haven't had to figure out the color code and splice all the wires. Many times the color codes are not the same from the controller to the vehicle. This adapter cable is plug and play, truly less than 10 minutes and done. Happy, happy, happy!

Excellent! No issues
I usually receive good products from this store. This part, however, does not work. I plugged in the adapter according to the directions but when I tried to start the truck it would not start. I unplugged it and the truck started. It was causing the gushes not to work and the truck not to start unless I unplugged it. I would like to return the adapter plug. I matched up the year make and model and this plug was recommended. I would change it. Hopefully it did t damage anything on my truck. It was almost like it shorted the system out.

I see that you ordered part # HM53075 for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New body. There is not a plug under the dash to plug in a brake controller adapter on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New body. The manufacturer did run wires from the back of the truck to the front under the dash. The wires from the back of the brake controller will need to be wired into the bundle of wires under the drivers side dash using butt connectors. The towing package wires may be labeled but it is a good idea to test them using a circuit tester part # 40376 before making any connections. I have attached a help article for installing a brake controller on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New body.

Still working perfectly!
I haven't hooked up the trailer and seen the trailer brake in action yet but I'm going to start by giving it a 5 star review just for the ease of ordering from etrailer and the install. I'll update after using it. etrailer matched the plug-in adapter for the system/my truck so all I had to do was push add to cart. It was also delivered on time. I installed it on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Z71. I have no mechanical/electrical abilities whatsoever and I was able to do the install from start to finish by myself. I ordered this particular system because I did not want the traditional trailer brake that is mounted on the kick panel. I was able to mount the system out of sight when it's not needed, as to not change the appearance of my brand new truck, and there is nothing to bang my shin on! I mounted it with 3M double sided sticky tape (other reviews stated the provided tape didn't stick well) and used zip ties for cable management. The Hopkins InSIGHT Flex-Mount was perfect for what I wanted!
The custom simple plug in wiring harness made installation of the Hopkins Insight Proportional brake controller a breeze ! Truly a plug and play product ! Will definitely be ordering more products , and referring all my buddies that do towing !
The Hopkins insight was great. I liked the way I could mount it where I wanted, it was easy to install and the with the wiring adapter made it much easier. And the price was great.
ETRAILER HAD A PLUG IN TRAILER BRAKE ADAPTRER FOR MY 2014 GMC SIERRA THAT NONE OF THE "BIG" AUTO PARTS STORE AROUND HERE CARRIED. UNBEATABLE PRICE AND IT WAS DELIVERED TO MY DOOR IN FOUR DAYS. NO RUNNING AROUND. THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE IF THEY INSTALLED IT FOR ME.
No fault of the cable however GM could have made it a little easier to remove the cover to get to the receptical. Other wise the cable worked flawlessly. I pluged it into the brake controller and it came to life. Thanks for making that cable as I didn't want to go cutting into my new truck.
My Hopkins brake controller fit the bill exactly. I wanted the digital readout in a separate location from the switch and it was extremely easy to install in my 2014 GMC Sierra.
We installed it on a used car. The customer has not brought it back or called to complain so all is good.
Thank you for the follow-up. I would use your site more but the last year has been a difficult getting used vehicles to sell.
wiring harness for electric brake unit hooked up and works as expected. No problems. would recommend it.
CSR was very professional and gets an "A" for her knowledge about the wiring adapter I needed for my Chevy 1500 truck. I will continue to order products from etrailer!! great experience!
Item plugged in as intended and worked great on our 2017 Chevy Silverado

great
Couldn't find harness locally in any store. Right part at the right price.
Excellant price and really fast delivery! I will definitely order my trailer parts from etrailer.com.
Worked as expected. Plenty of wire length to install controller where you want it.
Worked like a charm! Easy to use. Came in a timely fashion.
The adapter was GREAT!!!! I had it in my truck in 30 minutes.
The problem was me 6 ft.2inchs and 250pounds. If I was smaller it would have only took half the time. HAHA Thank you for having this for my truck!! You will hear from me again.
