Question:

I am getting a 2 axle trailer with electric brakes and it has a 6 pin round plug. I know I need a controller and the plug is under the dash but what else do I need after that. Obviously a 6 pin plug in but is there anything else I need? Help and thank you

You are going to need to install a 7-way in your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder with the Tekonsha kit part # 118281. What you have on your trailer is probably a 7-way but it's easy to skip counting the center pin of the connector as the seventh pin.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy as it is incredibly reliable, works, well and is easy to use. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

Then to install it you'll need the install harness part # 3050-P and you'd be set. I attached an install video that shows this installed on a similar 2011 Pathfinder as well.
