Brake Controller on 2019+ G Wagons
Has anybody used a brake controller when they tow with their G?
Is the 2019+ Pre-wired for a plug and play controller? Up to 2018 is not from what I can find. I have not been able to find a wiring harness that specs a 2019+ G550. This seems odd as I know other Mercedes’ models are pre-wired for this, but maybe my searches are poor.
Also the other solution I have found is a
no wiring and pretty good reviews on Amazon.
Trying to gear up for a road trip and need to source something asap.
thx

i had an add-on brake controller added to the trailer. I didn't bother with the oem wiring. I looked at the previous gen's installation and was too much work. I do alot of DIYs too. I used the prodigy RF on my car hauling trailing. It's not movable to different trailers if you're renting
