Is this a plug and play type? Some reviews indicate it is but other reviews indicate it is not. I have a 2005 F150 with tow package

If you get the plug for your vehicle when you order the the brake controller all you will have to do is plug it in to your wiring harness plug it to the back of the controller and start hauling.

It is, as long as your truck has the connection under the dash, my F350 did so it plugged right in and worked

This went into my Dad's F150. He already had the adapter plug that connects to the steering column plug when he purchased the plug. He was able to mount it to the dash and plug it in and it worked. I'm not sure what is required to attach the adapter plug. I would assume if you have the tow package all you would need is the adapter. (Hopkins Mfg number 47715)

As I remember, it is plug and play. Hope I don't mislead, I installed the headlight and both passing lights and love them.

Its very simple plug in and go on my truck. Nothing to splice. My factory harness just plugged into this one. I already had the fuses I needed but am keeping the extra ones for extra..

That is exactly what I did. The harness was slightly different than the stock plug. It came with directions that allowed me to wire it in with no problems. There were some specific instructions about specific years of Ford trucks and the brake wire, but I was able to figure it out with the instructions and a simple voltage meter.

I have seen reviews of it being install on to the harley bagger stereo, but not too sure if it is plug and play. Please research before you purchase the item, thank you.

The electrical connections are all made to the factory Ford mirror wiring inside the doors of your vehicle. Plug style connectors are installed in the Fit System mirrors that match the connectors on your Ford, so it really is a "plug and play" installation. According to the local Ford dealer, all 2009 through 1014 F - 150's have identical (inside the door) wiring provisions. An adapter is provided with the Fit System mirrors to accommodate 2004 through 2008 models. My Ford was not factory equipped with "puddle lamps" but the Fit System mirrors are. They work perfectly, without any modification to the factory wiring.

I have a 2004 Silverado and it just plugs in, it come with a bracket. You must buy the one with the harness for your make.

I installed mine on an 2007 f150. I routed the wires through the driver side which has a way into the cabin. I mounted the camera through the factory tow package.

The item fits and works well with my 2005 F150. Check with a dealer to find out if this harness connection is the same in the 2008 model.

Unfortunately has to be programmed. I made the mistake thinking it would be plug and play. I had the dealer program and it works great. Still less expensive tha buying from the dealer. Nick.

Work grade? You have to pop the blank out to see if there is a 8 wire harness behind it. If there is the 8 wire harness, it's plug and play. If not, you're out of luck. Hope that helps!

It is not plug and play unless your deck is the original oem deck from 05-07. I didn't use this harness because I had ordered a Pioneer deck that needed a different harness. Hope this helps you.

The one I got was. Just unscrew the old one, disconnect the wiring harness, and put this one in. Plug and play.

I installed this controller in my 2013 ford F150 work truck. The truck came with a tow setup but no hitch, wiring plug or brake controller installed. The wiring was there but not hooked to anything. I had the hitch and plug installed and installed the controller myself works great. I tow a 2 horse trailer a 16' car hauler + a small utility trailer and have had no problems with any. My concern would be since it has a factory installed controller I would want to be sure that the factory controller was completely disconnected so as not to interfere with the new one. I'm not savy enough to do that so I would take it to an R V service shop to have it done right. I installed this controller in my 2013 ford F150 work truck.

Yes this item is plug and play. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

Yes they are a plug and play. Bolt into same holes. You need a stubby number 2 philips screwdriver for the dash. It took me about 45 minutes to do all four speakers
