I'd be happy to help you with that.
You'll first want to choose a brake controller. I'd recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR. You'll also need the # RED69FR wiring pigtail. The Tow-Pro Liberty is a remote mount controller. The main unit installs under the dash so it's out of sight and so you won't bang your knees on it when you get in or out of the vehicle. The trailer brakes are controlled by the control knob that can be installed anywhere within easy reach of the driver.
The installation would be begin with a functional 4 pole trailer connector. If you don't have one already, I'd recommend the # 118786 which is more reliable over time than the other available options. Once the 4 pole harness is installed as shown in the linked video, you'll use our # ETBC7 Brake Controller Install Kit to install the brake controller. The kit includes everything needed to complete the installation, including the adapter to convert the 4 pole connector provided by the # 118786 to a 7-way, as well as all the wire, hardware and circuit breakers needed to complete the install.
I've linked to some videos that you might find helpful, one shows how the Tow-Pro Liberty works, the other outlines how the install kit is used.
