Is There a Plug and Play Brake Controller Installation Harness for 2019 MB Sprinter 3500
Question:
do you have an extension harness for 2019-2021 Mercedes sprinter van using a Curt 51170 controller

Expert Reply:
I may have a solution for you to install a different brake controller using a plug and play harness to avoid hard-wiring, but Curt does not have a brake controller adapter plug for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500. If you wanted to use the Curt Spectrum # C51170 then you'd need to hard-wire it into the vehicle.
However there is a comparable brake controller to the Spectrum that does have a plug and play adapter with the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR, which can use the Tekonsha adapter # 3063-P to install. The Tow Pro Elite is one of the best controllers on the market and offers you a hidden installation of the controller and a simple control knob is all that mounts visible. The Tow Pro Elite also offers completely customizable braking with easy adjustments and the manual override on the knob.
I've linked a short review and installation video of this controller for you to check out.
