Question:
I Have a Factory installed tow package on my 2011 Lexus and have had lexus install the hitch and the 4 pin wiring harness for warranty purposes. I however need a Seven pin connector to connect a brake controller. Can you suggest which one and how do connect to the rear 12 volt battery. Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
To install the Prodigy RF Brake Controller part # TK94FR that you referenced all you will need is a 7-way with the 12 volt circuit active.
For that you would only need the part # 37185. The black wire of the this adapter would need to get run to the 12 volt terminal of the battery of your vehicle through a circuit breaker like part # 9510. You would want to use 10 gauge wire like the part # 10-1-1 sold by the foot. For a ring terminal to attach to the battery you would want the part # DW05705-1.
