Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2008 Toyota RAV4

Updated 04/24/2017 | Published 04/22/2017

Question:

I cant download the installation instructions for the ETBC7 Universal Installation Kit for Electric Trailer Brake Control - 7-Way Blade and 4-Pole Flat - 10 Gauge Wires from your website Would you be willing to email them to me? Im planning on purchasing the installation kit and the Prodigy 2 controller. I want to install myself, but am hesitant without seeing the instructions. I have a 2008 Toyota Rav4 and i think these are the right parts for the job. Just need verification.

I have attached a link that will take you to the detailed installation instruction article for the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. The kit will include everything necessary for installing the brake controller and converting your 4-way connector to a 7-way connector.

If your 2008 Toyota RAV4 does not already have a 4-way, you will also need to install one, such as the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118412 . This will quickly install on your vehicle by plugging directly into existing wiring. I have attached the installation details for you to check out.

The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 mentioned in your question is a great choice. This is our most popular brake controller because of its reliability and ease of installation. It is a proportional controller that will activate your trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your vehicle.
