have any of you installed a trailer brake controller in your titan? It's my understanding that all I need to do is plug the wiring harness i ordered with the unit into a very obvious plug on the left side of the dash under the steering wheel, mount the unit, and I'll be good to go. I have 0 experience with this and just want to make sure I am not stupid and it is indeed that simple lol

Honestly they do nothing for me aesthetically. I'd have to see it in ARB trim.

FrankCade No experience with Titans but the electric units generally operate on interia. I'll be getting a trailer mounted unit in the future.

Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable.
Determine where to mount the controller on the dash.
Drill mounting holes for the bracket.
Fasten the brake controller into place.
Plug in the brake controller with a custom wiring harness.

On average, you can expect to pay between $60.00 and $340 for the controller itself and up to $300 for labor on the most complicated installations. However, the cost to install a brake controller varies depending on the type of controller you choose and the wiring that is already present in your vehicle.
