At this time the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 does not have a custom wiring harness, so you would need to hardwire a connection using Wiring Kit # 5506 if you have the factory 7-way or # ETBC7 if you have the factory 4-way. If you need a replacement pigtail for wiring, you can use # 7894.

The only confirmed fit brake controller that requires no further wiring is the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Controller # TK94FR. This controller does not utilize the brake output pin on a 7-way but does utilize the stop light signals and 12V power. I've attached a video to assist.
