Installing an Aftermarket Brake Controller on a 2012 Ram with Factory Brake Controller
Updated 03/25/2018 | Published 03/23/2018
Question:
Have 2012 Dodge with in-dash brake control, wanting to install P2 to handle E/H brakes on trailer. Can I plug P2 into under dash plug with causing problems with in-dash controller or do I need to run a separate wiring system.

In order to install an aftermarket brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 on a 2012 Ram 1500/2500/3500 with an integrated trailer brake module (ITBM) you will need to take the truck to your local Dodge dealer and have them reconfigure the power control module. This is all outlined in the attached help article.
If your 2012 Ram 1500/2500/3500 has a factory 7-way trailer connector then you will want to use part # 3021-P to install the above controller. I have attached a review video of the P2 for you as well.
