How to Install the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on a 2017 Audi Q7
Question:
I am ready to buy the P3 as recommended by one of your techs, is there a pigtail that ties in to the connector on the 2017 Audi Q7 I could buy?

To install the Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your 2017 Audi Q7 you will need to have the factory 7-Way connector installed and then you will also need some additional wiring from an authorized dealer. You will need the following: (qty. 1) #1J0-972-782 housing and (qty. 2) #000-979-228 wire/terminal assemblies. Once you have these installed you can then splice the 4 wires from the pigtail for the P3 to the wiring on your Audi Q7. Please see the attached bulletin for specific details about this.
If you don't have the factory 7-Way then you will need to go a different route by installing the ZCI 4-Way # 119250KIT, the 7-Way Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L, and then use the Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller which doesn't require a connection to the cold side of the stop light switch and you control through Bluetooth via the app that is available for Apple and Android smart devices.
