What is Needed to Install a 7-Way Connector on a 2008 Toyota FJ with a 4-Pole Harness Installed
Question:
I have a 2008 toyota fj cruiser with a 4 pin hookup. What products do you have that will get me to 7 pin with trailer brakes ? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you already have the 4-pole wiring harness installed on your 2008 Toyota FJ, then all you will need is the 7-way install kit # ETBC7.
This kit will include the 7-way connecter, all the wiring, and hardware needed to install a brake controller to your vehicle.
If you do not have a brake controller yet, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. The P2 has 3 boost levels and will continuous do diagnostic check on you system to warn you of any issues the might occur when towing.
I have also linked two help articles that explain how to wire a brake controller in from scratch and information on the # ETBC7 kit for your to review.
