OK--I got the prodigy (thanks to those of you who referred me to the web where I found it for about $100--about half of what one dealer wanted to charge me for the unit!). Now comes the interesting part: matching the prodigy black, red, white and blue wires to the 4Runner harness with its black,yellow, green, green with yellow, and white with black. By my count that is one too many wires on the Toyota harness. In addition, the instructions which come along with the prodigy for the "Toyota Installation" don't even have the right colored wires (brown???). Need one of you gurus who has put in the prodigy to help me with which wire goes to which. And what is this "butt connector" that I am supposed to connect the wires with? Thanks!

I went back and looked at the replies on part one of this subject. Unfortunately none of the guys said which color went to which color. In addition, I note that I did not get a CD with the product to help with installation as one of the kind responders had mentioned...wonder if that is why I got it cheaper? Anyway, if anyone can give the wire to wire color combo's it would be great, especially since the Tekonsha instructions don't even have the correct colors for the wire harness of the 4Runner. I did pick up some "butt connectors" today at the store so I am set there. Thanks guys!

OK:
Prodigy color -> 4 runner adapter harness color
black to black (battery +)
red to green/yellow (brake light)
white to white/black (ground)
blue to yellow (brake light)
The 5th wire (green) in the 4runner harness is unused (tail light). Just cut it short and insulate the end.
