If you have never used a brake controller before, the P2 # 90885 will be easier to learn on and use than the P3, # 90195. The P3 has several features the P2 doesn't though including the ability to change the LED screen color, change the language, and the biggest difference is the diagnostics. Instead of flashing a code you would have to look at the P3 has clear messages telling you what the problem is. So there is a trade-off there.
Other than that the controllers function in the same way and mount in the same way. I have included links to video reviews on both controllers for you to compare.
To install either would only require you to use the install harness part # 3020-P.
