Adding A Third Party Trailer Brake Controller.

[roresc]

This may seem a remedial question, but, I was think of installing a Tekonsha PRODIGY brake controller to my '07 Silverado Classic. I installed a trailer hitch to the vehicle myself and the truck had a pre existing wire harness that hooked up to the hitch receiver. I use the accompanying 7 pin to 4 pin adapter to connect to most trailers, simple as that. I am pretty sure I do not have the integrated trailer brake controller as I cannot find the rpo listed for it with my truck. So as far as installing this third party controller, is it really as simple as finding a place of attachment and plugging the required wiring harness in the panel underneath the driver's side dash? Seems remarkably simple... too simple. But, if I am able to avoid installation charges, I will and I am sure someone here has experience with this. Thanks for help in advance.

there are also two wrapped wires under the hood that need to be connected on the front of the main fuse box a 6 mm nut and 8 mm are required one wire is between the fender and fuse box the other is under the brake booster

On the GMT800 platform, it is that simple. And hook up the power wires as stated above.
