Expert Reply:
Although your 2007 Jeep Commander is equipped with the Mopar tow package, it isn't fully wired with a plug-and-play connector under the dash. Jeep ran the brake controller output wire from the 7-way up into the passenger compartment, look for a coiled up blue or light green bare-ended wire near the top of the e-brake pedal. To complete wiring the controller, you'll need the # 5506 kit which includes the wire, hardware and circuit breakers necessary to complete the installation.
You'll also need the # 20127 pigtail for your # 90195 Tekonsha P3 if you don't already have one. The blue pigtail wire would connect to the blue or light green wire coiled up under the dash. The black and white wire would run through the firewall, the black wire connects to the positive battery terminal via the 30A breaker and the white wire grounds to the negative battery terminal. The red wire from the pigtail will tap into the cold side brake switch circuit using a # SWC502905-1 quick splice connector. The brake switch is located atop the brake pedal, you'll want to tap into the white wire with the tan stripe.
I'll link to an install video that you'll find helpful.
