The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 is a favorite. This unit has the same components as the poplular P2 with a few upgrades that would make me choose it over the Prodigy P2 # 90885. It is a proportional brake controller that gives you super easy to read and understand infomation on an LCD screen. There is no code deciphering, just real time infomation and great functionality that is customizable to your driving preferences. You can use the custom wiring adapter # 3023-P.
I have attached a couple articles to help. Yes, you will need the dealer to change some things so you don't get the codes from your integrated unit.
