I am unsure of the lingo on the website where it has factory and non-factory. What items is that implying I have? Thank you!

Helpful Expert Reply:
The brake controller I recommend for your 2016 Traverse is the Tekonsha P3 # 90195. This is one our most popular because it is easy to set up and operate.
You will then need part # 3026-P. This is the plug-in harness you need to get the brake controller attached. You just plug one end into the back of the brake controller and the other end plugs into the vehicle harness located under the dash to the left of the steering column. I have attached a photo that shows where you can find the harness on your Traverse.
