The Prodigy P2 Electric Brake Controller # 90885 will fit your 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited because brake controllers are not vehicle specific. What is vehicle specific are the custom wiring harnesses.

Your Jeep does not have the connector under the dashboard for a custom harness to connect to so it will need to be hardwired. If you need a harness to hardwire the controller use # 20127.

If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector on your Jeep use our # ETBC7 kit to install one. I've linked a video showing the # ETBC7 and a brake controller being installed on a 2012 Wrangler. It's a different controller but the process is the same.

If you don't already have a 4-way you'll need one first. Use # 118416 for the 4-way connector. It plugs in behind the driver's side tail light.
