My first question is can the installer use the existing 5 wires and add the two wires for the electric brakes? In your humble opinion, what is the best brake system for the money? Where did you have your system installed? What was the installation cost?

Did you buy the brake controller from the installer?
Not sure what you are talking about because all TMs come with electric brakes.

If you are asking about the brake controller for the TV, a lot of us use the prodigy.

You will need a plug like this installed on your TV.

rying to adapt your current 5 terminal connector isn't a good choice IMO. It's just too easy to do it right and use the proper connector.
