To install a brake controller in your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56496.

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

From there you'd be able to install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR that you referenced.
