Instructions and Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Published 02/11/2015
Question:
I want to install a factory style in the dash brake controller on my 2011 chevy 1500. How can I use the trucks existing components to do this? And do you carry the parts?

When it comes to a brake controller the Tekonsha Prodigy P3, # 90195, is a top performer and a customer favorite. This proportional brake controller activates the trailer brakes in proportion to the Silverado's braking action and automatically adjusts trailer's braking based on deceleration of tow vehicle. The P3 activates immediately so there is no pausing like with a time-delayed brake controller. This style is typically mounted right up under the dash.
Since your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado is already equipped with a 7-way connector, the only parts needed will be the brake controller. I have attached an article which gives step by step installation instructions as well as an installation video which are a tremendous help when it comes time to complete the install.
We do not offer any factory style, in the dash, brake controllers.
