I have the RF prodigy wireless brake system. I now own a truck with ITBC2015 Chevy silverado 1500. Can I use the ITBC with the RF prodigy? Will I get an error message on the dash as indicated in a similar thread?

To use the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR on your truck with the factory integrated brake controller, you have a couple of options. You can disable the ITBC as stated so that your brake controller won't have an error, or you can simply cover that 5 o'clock pin on your trailer connection on the back of your truck with some electrical tape to make sure there is no draw on that pin. As long as there is no draw on that pin, which you don't need for the wireless prodigy system, you won't have any issues with your brake controller or your ITBC.
