Enabling my Scamp’s electric brakes to be towed by another vehicle

Hi.  A friend is going to pull my 13' Scamp with her vehicle.  What is the most economical way to enable her vehicle to use my Scamp's electric brakes?

No Brakes?

Trailer/tow vehicle wiring is pretty standard.  If her vehicle has a brake controller, it will work.  If not, there's no quick fix.  A Scamp 13' is light enough to be safely towed without brakes with a larger tow vehicle.

Plug and play brake connector?

Would something like this work?  (She already has a tow package on her vehicle--hitch, etc.)

Does your Scamp have the

Does your Scamp have the brake controller in the trailer (AutowBrake for example), or is the brake control in the car under the dash?
