- Installation of a Prodigy P3 trailer brake controller # 90195 in your 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class requires a hardwire kit # ETBC7 since we have no custom-fit plug-and-play wiring harnesses for it. If your dealer can install a functional brake controller connection port under the dash, and supply the M-B connector that fits it, this part could be spliced to the pigtail harness included with the P3.
This pigtail plug is available on its own as part # 20127.

- Yes. If your trailer with LED lights has a 5-Way or 4-Way flat connector then you would use adapter # C35FR. If the trailer has a 7-Way connector you would need # C57003. These adapters have load resistors in them that provide additional power draw so the vehicle thinks there are incandescent lights on the trailer.
The other option is to install load resistors, # DI34ZR, in line on each circuit on the trailer wiring behind its connector. You can also use this method if the resistors in...

- You do likely have a 2 inch trailer hitch on your 2011 Mercedes GL350. To be sure, just measure the receiver opening width. Just measure the opening, not the overall width.
The Apex XT 5 bike rack # TH9026XT is a great option. Carrying 5 bikes can be difficult, even on a rack designed for 5 bikes. The Thule Apex XT has 7 inches of spacing between the cradles for each bike giving you plenty of space to load them. It also holds the bikes at 3 locations keeping them from swaying back and...

view full answer... - Is there a Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2008 Mercedes GL550
- There isn't an aftermarket brake controller wiring harness that will fit your 2008 Mercedes GL550, so you have a couple of options. First you can see if there is an adapter from a Mercedes dealer with one end that plugs into the port under the dash and the other end with just wires. Then you could wire the controller to that adapter harness.
The other option is to determine the functions of the pins in that port using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one. One...
