Question:
I have a 2025 hyundai ioniq 5 and am looking to get the parts to be able to tow my small camper that has electronic brakes. Do you sell a brake controller and harness that will fit that vehicle? Would need brake controller, harness, and the 7 pin plugin interface as well.

We got everything you need, Matt!
Lets start with the custom hitch, EcoHitch makes one for your Ioniq, part # EH72HR, it will also give you a 2" hitch. For the wiring there are a few different parts/kits you are going to get to make everything work with one another.
Curt powered tail light converter part # C59236
Universal installation kit for trailer brake controller part # ETBC7
Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty brake controller part # RED52VR
The Redarc brake controller is the recommended controller for your Ioniq. Once it's install, it wont take much room on your dash and you can mount the control knob anywhere that comfortable for you to have it. Most people mount it on a blank spot on their dash like in the picture I included below.
Let me know what you think with a comment below. Would love to hear your thoughts.
