Can the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller be Installed Near a Cell Phone

Question:

I have used a Teconsha Prodigy for some years in two vehicles without any problems. This particular unit has no model number that I can see, it’s letterings, when activated, are red and the mounting angle must not ecxeed 70 deg. Also it may not be mounted closer that 12 inches to a mobile cell phone. Unfortunately, the most convenient position in my new Kia Sorento is next to the USB outlet. I understand that the Prodigy P2 has blue lettering and the mounting angle can be 360 deg. Question can the Teconsha Prodigy P2 be mounted next to the cell phone ?

Since the light up lettering of your Prodigy brake controller is red that would indicate that it is the original Prodigy part # 90185. The P2 # 90885 has blue lettering and can be mounted 360 degrees.

There would be no reason you couldn't install either a Prodigy or P2 next to a cell phone. Wired brake controllers like this do not use RF signals.
