We will have a brake controller that will fit your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. However, this model vehicle does not have the plug and go style installation for the brake controller.
The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Controller, # 90195, that you referenced will work well in your Jeep Wrangler. The controller will activate your trailer's brakes in proportion of your tow vehicle's braking action. The automatic leveling of the controller will allow you to mount it in any position in the cab.
When installing the P3 or any brake controller, a # ETBC7 Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller will complete the connection between the brake controller and the 7-way connector that will be mounted at the rear. The kit has all the components needed to run the wiringing from your 12-volt battery to the brake controller and finally to the 7-way connector. Your Jeep's 4-pole flat connector will connect to the 7-way to complete the set-up.
However, this might not be the end of the installation process. On some Jeep models, the tow package will have to be activated at the dealer. This activation has to be done even if the vehicle came from the factory with a tow package installed. Please contact your dealer to see if your model Jeep will need to be activated.
I have attached two videos showing the installation of the P3 and # ETBC7 kit on a couple different Jeep Wranglers. I also attached a two articles on installing brake controllers and wiring the # ETBC7 kit for you to review.
