The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # TK94FR does not need the brake controller signal wire of the 7-way connected, but it does need the 12V power wire. When looking at the vehicle side, this is the 1 o'clock position pin. When looking at the trailer side plug connection this is the 11 o'clock position. I've attached photos to assist.
If there is an error on your dash from a factory integrated brake controller, it is because this system has metal pins for the controller pin even though there is not a wire on the trailer end leading anywhere. You can use electrical tape to cover that pin connection if you want to avoid the dash message.
