Brake controller adapter avail so I don't have to splice wire?
Need to add a trailer brake controller to '13 JKUR. I remember how difficult this was on '11, had to tap into a brake light wire under the dash and there was almost no room to work. Is anyone aware of a harness/adapter that lets me wire in a brake controller without having to splice a factory wire? I'm not a big fan of splice/crimp connections and would be great to have a "T" connector that uses sockets/plugs so everything is solderless, spliceless, and lets me return to factory config by just unplugging the harness.

Not aware of a harness but I highly recommend the prodigy 2 controller. It has a feature so you can unplug the controller and store it when you don't need it. And, I didn't actually mount mine. It just sits wedged between the transfer case shifter and the emergency brake.

Also, there is a specific place you should go through the firewall. It's in the engine compartment on the drivers side. I think there is a grommet there with the tube that carries the washer fluid to the back window. The shop that installed my wiring didn't believe me about that location, but I forced them to look there after reading up on this forum.
