To install a brake controller in your 2016 Ram 1500 with a factory 7-way like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 all you would need is the install harness part # 3024-P.
To install the controller you will need to locate the vehicle’s electric brake control harness connector. The harness will be located underneath the dash and right of the steering column, taped to another harness. There will be a 4-pin connector that mates with the one on the adapter. I attached a picture of what it looks like.
It's basically that simple. We don't have an install video yet that I can show you, but I did attach a link to the install instructions for the # 3024-P.
