Since the colors of wiring can vary on different vehicles, the best way to ensure that you have correctly installed your Hopkins brake controller, like the Agility # HM47295, is to use a Circuit Tester # PTW2992 to see what each of the functions on your wires are. You will then want to connect the wires on the pigtail of the Agility to the following functions:

Black - 12V Power
Blue - Brake Signal to 7-Way Connector
White - Ground
Red - Stop Light Switch (only gets hot when the brake pedal is pressed)

If you have 5 wires then the 5th wire will just need to be disregarded.

If you do not already have a 7-Way installed on your 2014 Nissan Frontier then you will want to also install the Tekonsha T-One # 118266 which includes the relays needed to activate the tow package. If you already have a 7-Way then you will want to check your fuse box to make sure that the relays are already installed. If they are not, and the relay locations have metal pins then you can use the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. Some Nissan vehicles may require a 3rd Relay, one of the blue relays from the # C57000 relay kit.

I have attached some installation videos for the T-One and Relays that you can use as a reference.
