What Parts Will Be Needed to Install a Brake Controller and 7-Way Connector to a 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. It has the factory tow package which includes the 4 pin connector. I like the 4 pin/7 pin combo set up. I am guessing that I will need to add a wire or two to make this work with a brake controller. Can you make a list of the parts I will need to make this work? Thanks!

You will need to install a 7-Way connector when installing a brake controller to your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

For a brake controller I 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.
