For your 2007 Tahoe with the factory tow package, the Prodigy P3 brake controller part # 90195 is simple to install. You only need to splice the four wires on the controller with those already present under the dash. No additional wiring or harnesses are needed for the brake controller.

The Prodigy P3 Brake Controller is one of our most popular brake controllers, and with our informational videos and the instruction sheets, you should have no trouble at all installing the unit in your Tahoe.

For your reference, I will attach some additional information below.
