Going with the Prodigy RF, you only need a battery +12VDC, added on the existing 4-pin on a 4/7-pin adapter. The 12VDC connection is used to power the Prodigy RF unit, which uses the 7-pin to plug into your vehicle. UHaul should be able to fix you up, remind them the install is form the Prodigy controller to be used on a…
@nettles what @Denny16 said X2! We have 45,000 miles traveled with multiple tow vehicles, jam packed and lightly loaded. No issues, no interference, no blocked signals, no failures and flawless performance with the Prodigy RF. -Denise

I asked for a wired controller but I think they quoted for a 90250 prodigy rf which may be wireless. Preference for wired controller due to concern that cargo in rear of tow vehicle might…
That is somewhat misleading IMHO. A Tekonsha IQ costs 1 one quarter of RF. That will most certainly pay for 7 pin installation if it's even required. Many current vehicles come pre-wired. WRT ease of use, how could anything possibly be easier to use than the hard mounted IQ? Mine sits in my truck 24/7, already dialed in,…
Factory towing package on 2013 Highlander comes.with a 4 pin. Toyota dealer said I needed to pay them $135 inspection fee to determine if they could put in a 7 pin, credited toward installation if they could do it. Said maybe they would waive fee if they could not I didn't care much for that policy. But Toyota would not…
