Expert Reply:
If you have a trailer that requires brakes and sway control it is wise to additionally use a brake controller as the electronic sway controller is not a brake controller so it won't apply brakes unless there is sway. When using the Tuson Electronic Sway Control System for Electric Trailer Brakes # 335TSC-1000 the use of an aftermarket brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is not only possible but necessary.
If you are looking for a brake controller that does not require a separate connection in your vehicle and that is the reason why you were looking at the electronic sway contol, you can use the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK27FR instead which will have a remote that is wirelessly connected and powered with a 12V accessory.
