Just picked up a 2014 Escalade ESV and it doesn’t have an integrated brake controller.
Is there a way to add a factory brake controller? Really don’t want an aftermarket prodigy hanging off the knee kick panel.
Thanks!
It's pre-wired to simply add a brake controller, the controller connector is under the dash and the power wires are under the hood one is taped to the main wire harness and the other is stashed on the drivers side of the fuse box between the fuse box and the fender. not sure what the difference is from a "factory" optionJust picked up a 2014 Escalade ESV and it doesn’t have an integrated brake controller.

Just my 2cents. Took the Denali xl1500 6.2 out for it's first trip towing our 24ft aljo travel trailer. Loaded weight is approx 4500lb and it towed fantastic. Compared to our old 03 tahoe with the 4.8 and i added a 3.73 diff that made a slight change but if you were into a head wind you might as well pull over and wait for the wind to stop! i had it in manual 5 into the wind at 65 and approx 2100 rpm, minimal downshifting and what a difference the hp/tq upgrade with the 6.2, into the wind 8.9 mpg and with a tail wind 10.9. Trans temp peaked at 209 degrees, ill add the aftermarket cooler before next summer. in regard to the prodigy, i am also a factory purist but i honestly feel the prodigy is a better unit than the factory integrated and yes you can see it below the kick panel but i did not have to drill any holes to mount it
