Question:
I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU sport. It currently has a 4 pin connector. I would like the Redarc elite brake controller, but Im not sure which model number to purchase.

Since your 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU Sport only has a 4-flat connector you're going to need another wiring harness. To add a 7-way connector to control your trailer brakes with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite item # RED44FR you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. I have linked an installation video below along with a wiring diagram.
There is no plug and play adapter for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite item # RED44FR so you will have to splice into your Jeep's wiring to connect it. However, we have a couple of other mounting options for the control knob that can go inside inserts in your dash. This will give you a clean factory look install. The Universal Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob item # 331-TPSI-001 which measures 1-1/4 by 1 inch. There is also the option of using the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob item # 331-TPSI-002 for the more standard knock-out measuring 1-1/4 by 7/8 inch. I have linked a couple diagrams I made to show you the dimensions of these mounts.
