Brake Controller Install and Recommendation for a 2013 Dodge Durango without Tow Package
Question:
I have a 2013 Dodge Durango that was not previously equipped with a trailering package ie: there is no under dash connection for a brake controller. I have previously purchased a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 controller which I would like to install in the vehicle. Is there a 4 conductor cable available complete with the Prodigy connection on one end and appropriate cable length to extend power connections through the firewall of the vehicle ?

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56133.
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 that you currently have. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
