Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2016 Ford Transit
Question:
How do I Install in a Ford Transit 2016. The rest of the trailer plug was plug and play from Ford. I cannot find anything on installing a brake controller.

To install a brake controller in your 2016 Ford Transit Connect tou will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56218.
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. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
