Brake Controller Install Harness Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Xterra with 7-Way
Question:
I have a 2010 Nissan Xterra with an oem 7 pin wiring harness. I recently got a travel trailer that can use assisted braking. My question is what would I need to install the brake controller and which one would work? I do have the unconnected plug above my diagnostic port.

Expert Reply:
To install a brake controller in your 2010 Nissan Xterra with a factory 7-way all you would need is the correct install harness that will plug right into the port you have under your dash that you mentioned.
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.
To install this controller would only require the # 3050-P. This will plug right into the port you have found and you would be ready to go.
