Question:
my 2006 expedition has the 4 pin trailer connector. What do I need to make it work with a 7 pin round so I have trailer brakes connected. I have the prodigy controller already. Thanks

You will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. This will convert your 4-way to a 7-way and comes with everything needed to install a brake controller. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy Brake Controller part # 90185 that you already have. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
