Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2013 Nissan NV 3500
Question:
I want to put on electronic brake controls on my van. I have a 2013 Nissan NV 3500. I have picked the brake controller and wiring for under the dash. I dont know what else I need to get hooked up at the 7 way in the back. Can you tell me what I need to buy?

Expert Reply:
To install a brake controller in your 2013 Nissan NV 3500 with a factory 7-way you only need the two things you mentioned. You need an install harness and a brake controller.
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.
For an install harness all you would need is the part # 3050-P which will plug in under the dash.
