Expert Reply:
In order to replace the factory brake controller on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 you'd need to cut the blue brake output wire from the harness where it would normally plug into the vehicle side brake controller plug and run this to the rear trailer connector manually. This will bypass the factory controller. Then you can use the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3016.
