Question:
Just bought a New 2009 Kia Borrego SUV with 7500# towing capacity. My salesman says it is Plug and Play for towing. What does that mean and how does that effect the installation of the P3?

Expert Reply:
If your 2009 Kia Borrego has the factory tow package with a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, it will be a simple plug and play installation. You will only need the P-3, item # 90195, brake controller and the Brake Controller Wiring Adapter for Kia Borrego, item # 22291, to install the brake controller on your vehicle. The P-3 and the adapter can be purchased together by ordering item # 90195-22291.
If your Borrego does not have the factory towing package you will need to use the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2009 Kia Borrego, item # 56104, along with a brake controller installation kit, item # ETBC7, to install the P-3 brake controller.
We have detailed instructions on our brake controller installation from scratch page (see link).
The # ETBC7 kit will have all of the wiring and hardware needed to install a brake controller on your vehicle.
