Looking for an installation video to install a brake controller on a 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE. I cant seem to find one.

For your 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE, the installation of a brake controller will be very similar to the video of the 2005 Sienna I've attached, but unfortunately we don't have your exact model year on video yet. Because the brake controllers all need to be hardwired using the Universal Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7, many of the installations like the 2018 Honda Odyssey will be extremely similar. If you don't already have a 4-way wiring harness, then I recommend you start with the T-One # 118648 which has a video of the installation on a 2016 Toyota Sienna.
For your brake controller, I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 which is a favorite due to the LCD screen, the presets, and the fact there is no code deciphering. It is a really nice option for your Sienna. I've attached a video to assist.
