Will Infrared Windows on a Mercedes Benz ML350 SUV Prevent Prodigy RF From Functioning
Question:
My ML350 has a 7 pin connector but there is no provision to install a brake controller under the dash but all other pins in the 7 pin are active, including the 12 volt power. The ML has some sort of infrared blocking windows. Will this interfere with the RF module being able to communicate from the vehicle to the module mounted on the trailer?

Expert Reply:
The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR uses radio frequencies to communicate between the in-cab unit and the brake controller, so infrared blocking windows will not interfere with the function of the brake controller.
