Splicing would work, but I don't know if the wire colors match. I have a Prodigy P2 from my old truck, but I decided to just buy the Ram harness for the prodigy when I switched it over to the Ram.

Unless, you're in a rush, the proper adapter cable is the way I would go. It's pretty cheap. I think I paid around $12-14 online from etrailer.

I woud get the adapter personally. Even better get the factory integrated one because it looks amazing and from my experience works awesome too.

If you had an aftermarket brake controller in their already, you should have no issues going color for color.

Just please please solder and heat shrink the connections.
Certainly not twist connectors or similar.
