Brake controler

I have a 07 GMC with the factory brake controler. I am looking for a elec over hyd trailer disc brake system that will work with my factory brake controller.
Does anyone have a name or website for this system?
Most people seem to just add an aftermarket controller but it would be nice to use the existing one in the truck.

Your trailer's builder should be able to help you out.

The trailer currently has surge brakes I am going to change over to elec over hyd. I don't want to have to add a brake controler if possible. So the trailer builder would not help on this.

brakerite makes an adapter for gm's and fords so they work with eoh brakes,like $75,,i was also told you can just hook a electric brake magnet in line,so the controler see's a ping ,but i haven't tryed it yet

I'm kinda caught in the middle of a EOH trailer with an older electric controller in truck now. I thought I had problems with my controller but found a calipier hose was vise gripped off,calipier falling off with only one brake pad in it!!! I already ordered a new contoller for EOH brakes but will fix my trailer before installing a new controller. My point being is my Brakerite EOH system states and I quote "WORKS WITH ALL CONTROLLERS"
So my controller my only be for electric brakes but Brakerite states it should work. The way I think about it is the EOH pump works with 12 volts, more volts eqeals more pump pressure to trailer brakes just like an electric brake magnet works also.... I would contact a few companys first and get there facts and go from there. If I'm wronge about how these work,someone please chime in. I just would like to learn as much as poss.
