Brake Controller and Installation Recommendation for a 2006 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
I am looking for the service connector so I can plug my p2 brake controller in. Where would I find it?

Expert Reply:
Your 2006 Toyota Tacoma does not have a factory brake controller port, but you can still install a controller.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118496.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
