I have a solution for you.
I'll use a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90885 as an example.
I will link an installation guide and a diagram to help you with this process, here is the part you need to know about the wires at the brake pedal though just to speed you along.
Find the wires connected to the brake switch at the top of the brake pedal.
Using a circuit tester, find the wire carrying a signal when the brake pedal is engaged.
Use a quick splice to connect this wire to the red wire coming out of the brake controller.
