Supposably they are coming out with a kit for those missing the wiring. My guess is that is just a regular old controller that fits the cubby. But when is anyone's guess.

Got tired of waiting and did this with mine.

TOPGUN Nice work! What type of trailer brake controler is that? How did you mount it? Was there a wiring harness adapter, or did you have to splice. Do you have the one large plug. Could you PM me a detailed description with more pics. I am trying to do the samething but am kinda a rookie. Are you interested in selling me a face plate cover or is that samething I could easily do myself? Any help you can give is much appreciated.

If that helps any, I have a video that explains the installation of the mopar brake controller. I chose that option because of the added features it offers when added to ESP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8eHvGqL5XU

I don't remember the breakdown because the controller and bezel are separate pieces, but total was $152 at my local Dodge parts counter.
