Question:

Jesse, I already have a 7 pin installed on the vehicle. I noticed that this brake controller doesnt appear to come with a 7 pin plug. Any advice on which 7 pin plug to purchase? Thank you.

The Autowbrake # 3430001 installs on the trailer side so you would generally just utilize the 7 way plug already on the trailer. We do recommend using a junction box to connect the Autowbrake wiring harness. We actually make an installation kit specifically for this purpose with part # 3430001-JBK. This will include everything you need for installation.
