Here's a few things you should know for installing a trailer brake controller:
1. buy the wiring converter from Toyota. There are two modules. one plugs in under the dash and the other plugs in under the hood. Without them the turn signals won't work.
2. mount the controller on the fuse box door. It's going to hit your leg from time to time. I ordered an additional fuse box door from Toyota, so when I am not towing, I just pop the fuse box cover off, detach the wires, and throw the door with the controller still screwed onto it into the glove box for storage until I need to tow again. The extra door was about $10 and the wire just tucks back in the dash and its like it was never there. If you just mount it to the right side of the bottom of the dash your leg will hit it constantly.
