Operation of Prodigy RF Brake Controller with Trailer Lights and Vehciles with In-Cab Controllers
Question:
Im looking at the Prodigy RF. 1. I assume that the control passes the signals for the trailer lights through, as well as the signal for the brakes, correct? 2. Some of the people who will be towing our trailer have trucks with brake controllers in them. Will there be any conflict between those and the TK94FR? Thanks

Expert Reply:
You are correct that the wiring for the lights will pass through the Tekonsha Prodigy RF # TK94FR. The 7-way blade-style connector on the trailer will plug into the Prodigy RF and the connector on the Prodigy RF will connect to the vehicle's 7-way blade-style socket.
The best solution for when the tow vehicle already has a brake controller is to bypass the Prodigy RF completely by simply plugging the trailer's connector into the tow vehicle, as you would if the Prodigy RF were not on the trailer.
Another option, if possible with the in-cab controller, is to unplug the in-cab controller from the vehicle at the back of the controller. With the trailer connected to the tow vehicle through the Prodigy RF, the Prodigy would function as the brake controller since the in-cab controller is disconnected.
I have attached an installation video of the Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR for you.
