Electric brake controller install

[Allpryde]

Hi
I want to install an electric trailer brake controller to a 200 series 2013
The blue wire on the trailer plug says its for that (brakes) but where is it in the cab or is there a plug waiting for the controller
Thanks

The Blue wire is for the brakes on the Trailer!
In some Brake Controller manuals they say you can use the rear tail light for the brake signal but it only works with separate brake and parker globes if it's a dual filament globe it'll cause issues it's best to grab the brake signal wire on the brake pedal you'll need a multi meter because the wires are all different colours! Look for the wire that becomes active when you depress the pedal! This is the one you'll need! Also remember to use the correct gauge wire which is crucial with brake controllers they tend to pull some Amps!
If in any doubt let a Auto Electrician do it!
