Recommended Brake Controller For 2013 Mercedes Benz GL350

Question:

I have a 2013 Mercedes Benz GL350 with factory tow package. As I found out theres green connector under the dash and I have to connect brake controller to it. Which one would you recommend to install? I see that you have several options, but connectors dont look the same. Thank you.

We don't have a confirmed fit for a wired brake controller with your vehicle, so I would make sure you confirm that green wire function with your local dealer. The only confirmed fit brake controller we have for your GL350 with factory 7 way is the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # TK94FR.

This controller uses the power and trailer functions from your factory 7-way, but uses a control unit that attaches to your trailer and a remote that plugs into your dash for the braking functions. The control unit has an internal inertia sensor to apply brakes during deceleration. It captures your tail light signal and uses this sensor to determine the proportional braking needed on your trailer. The remote gives you the diagnostic readings as well as the manual override control.
