Question:

The information is helpful. The video is very helpful. It appears that I still need the 7 pole connector, because I do not see it included in the 5506 kit. Would it make more sense to go with the ETBC7 kit that includes the connector.

Helpful Expert Reply:

For your 2010 Toyota Highlander, there is not a brake controller wiring harness available for the tow package. For the best option for your vehicle, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller # 90195 which will work for brakes on up to 4 axles. It will work very well for your 4 brake assemblies and will give you proportional braking to the timing and intensity you hit the brake pedal in your Highlander.

To wire your 7-way for this brake controller, you will simply need the kit # 5506 and you will splice into the factory connector. This will give you the wire, connectors, and circuit breakers needed for your installation. I've attached a video of the similar installation to assist.

Yes. I made the assumption the factory tow package on your 2010 Highlander would already have a 7-way. For the kit that converts a 4-way connection into a 7-way and has the connections, wires, and circuit breakers for your brake controller, I recommend the # ETBC7. This will give you both a 7-way and a 4-way connection at your bumper.
