Hey Timothy! The brake controller port on the Sprinter is located under the driver seat. The connector picture below will fit into the port and allow you to install a brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED52CR. I also linked an installation video on a 2021 further down on this page which shows exactly where you can find the connector.
Are you wanting to tow a trailer or is this part of your flat tow setup? Flat tow brake systems do not require a brake controller in the motorhome.

Hey Timothy, how did things go finding the brake controller port under the driver seat on your Sprinter? Did the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite connect smoothly once you located it? Your update could make it easier for others wiring a similar setup.
