Jim,
It depends on what the OEM provided for an after market brake controller
Now with the IBC's, they most likely will NOT have the extra wires in
there for an after market...every penny counts towards their bottom line...
But...Tekonsha knows all the OEMs and should have kits for each
Since you are an engineer with hands on experience...should be a walk in
the park
Repeat that I'm not a fan of "highly integrated" anything on my automobiles
Too many inter-dependencies for my liking...that any one can bring down
the whole system. Not even okay for my office stuff (copier, printer,
FAX, etc) and definitely not for my life and limb of a vehicle
Also not a fan of any brake controller which senses MC PSI without an
accelerometer.
Here is my post on my 1996 Suburban's P3...had it wired differently
for the boat (tapped into the harness in back...'cuz at that time,
could not find the stub in the harness...but this time, decided to use
the OEM harness...and it took me most of a day to finally find it on
top of the fuel tank. Ditto the stub up in the engine bay by the
fuse box.

{edit}...forgot and now to avoid those PMs asking what that green
thing is on the harness in back...it is garden hose and is both a
strain relief and protection from rubbing through the wire insulation
And that drilled into the receiver, which is generally a no-no, but
that is for the torsion tube. The end bracket I chose should be okay
and not create a stress raiser...
