I think mine cost around 30 bucks , installed it myself . I presume you're
wiring for a round multipin plug with brakes and lights and all that . Pull
your "main" power direct from the battery with either a breaker or fuse .
You might be lucky enough to have a vehicle new enough to have built-in
wiring for that ...

I installed mine myself, many good brands to choose from. Mine is
called "Journey HD".

Look for one at about $100. You should have one that has an inertia
sensitive chip and will work in reverse as well as forward. It's nice to
have brake control in reverse.
