Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 7-Way
Question:
I am looking to purchase an electric brake controller for a 2015 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon, it has the factory installed 7-way connector already, can you let me know what else I would need along with the controller?

Since you have a 7-Way you will only need a few more components to complete a brake controller install on your vehicle.
First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller and the 7-way adapter you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. There will be a coiled blue or light green wire under the dash labeled 'trailer brake'. The red wire of the controller runs to this.
Finally you will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire (part # 10-1-1) from the brake output circuit of the controller to the brake output circuit of the 7-way (blue wire). The # 10-1-1 is sold by the foot so you will need to order a quantity of the amount of feet you will need.
I attached an FAQ on installing brake controllers for you to check out.
