Can Truck with Factory Brake Controller Tow Trailer with Prodigy RF Brake Controller

Question:

To whom it may concerns: If the trailer is equipped with a Prodigy wireless brake controller, does the trailer brakes work with my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 P/U, which came with Factory Installed Brake Controller or do I still have to use the wireless hand-held unit? Thanks

If you are towing a trailer that has the Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR installed on it you can use either it as the brake controller or the factory controller of your 2016 Ram 1500.

To use the Ram controller you'd just have to unplug the trailer's 7-way from the RF and then plug that directly to the truck. Otherwise if you leave the 7-way of the trailer plugged into the RF you'd have to use it.
