Expert Reply:

There is a connector available to connect the P3 controller to the Range Rovers under dash connector for brake controller installation. You can order the P3 # 90195 and the proper wiring # 3035-P. The connection point for the brake controller wiring should be under the dash next to the brake switch to the left of the steering column. If your Range Rover has a factory installed 7-Way connector then your installation is complete.

If you just need a connector and already have the brake controller you can order the Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter Ford, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercury, item # 3035-S, and splice the correct wires, but make sure that you wire by function. I have included a help article that will show the process of hardwiring the brake controller.

This seems to only work for 2010 and above models.I took apart a 2007 and there is no under dash connector

The factory brake controller port is present on the 2007 Range Rover, but only if it was equipped with the corresponding factory tow package. If yours doesn't have the tow package the Prodigy P3 # 90195 will need to be hardwired using the Wiring Kit # 5506, assuming you already have a 7-Way connector at the bumper.
