    They come with full instructions and are hard to get it wrong but if when you look at the instructions and think its a bit beyond you just get an auto sparky to hook it up

    Here is the basics

    Really very very simple ti wire up with 4 wires.. Power , Earth , brake switch and a lead that goes to the trailer plug.

    The instructions are very detailed and explain in a very simple to understand.. the unit needs to be mounted at an angle and is explained why in the manual.

    Once fitted you need to play around with how much power your trailer brakes need and these can change depending on load and conditions but it is easy to make quick adjustments whilst stopped at the lights..

    Good luck

    So can anyone see a major problem with picking up the brake switch from the trailer plug itself?
    The wire to the switch on the pedal has no play in it for me to splice in and solder. I was thinking of running a two core cable to the trailer plug, one to pick up the brake switch circuit, the other to activate the brakes on the trailer.
    Thoughts?

    That's no problem at all. In fact on modern vehicle's that's standard procedure. You can actually purchase aftermarket wire harness to suit.

    Such as this http://www.autoairparts.com.au/wp-co...rake-Cable.pdf
