If you install the Prodigy P3 # 90195 you will not need to have the computer flashed. In most models it will simply plug in using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 22292, however some do not have power run to the brake controller port under the dash. If this is the case, we have wiring kit # BRK-ELECKIT which you can use to run power to the brake controller port. I've attached a video to help with all of this.
