I checked with Redarc and a few other brake controller manufacturers and they state that your 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 3500XD does not have an OEM brake controller install port under the dash like previous models so you would have to hardwire in the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR with the install harness # RED69FR and the brake controller install kit part # 5506 which wires to the OEM 7-way you have.

We've also heard that the stoplight switch circuit is hard to find on your vehicle so for a way to make that step easier you could use the part # RM-751475 as well.
