This is going to work with trailers with one up to three axles. Part number is 331-EVRH-ACCV2. Now, to help us with our installation, we'll also be using part number ETBCH7, which is our electronic brake controller installation kit.Now, there is several advantages to the Tow Pro Elite that we get here that we don't often get with standard proportional brake controllers. The user control function is, I think, a very, very good design. Basically, it's going to allow us to switch from the blue mode, which is proportional, to a green mode. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2018 Honda Odyssey- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 trailer brake controller, part number 90195. Now to help us with our installation, we're going to be using the universal installation kit for trailer brake controllers with a seven way RV and four way flat connector, part number ETBC7.So here's what our P3's going to look like once we have it installed. It is a proportional brake controller, which means it's going to apply the trailer brakes in the same intensity and at the same time that we apply the brakes on our vehicle. Because there's an internal inertia sensor, that's going to detect the deceleration of our vehicle and apply the brakes accordingly to our trailer.Like most brake controllers, this is going to have a manual override button. It's going to have a lever here at the bottom and if we sweep it over to the left, we can see that it's going to manually apply the brakes even if I'm not pushing on the brake pedal on my car. Now this is going to come in handy if your trailer starts to sway, when you're going down the road and you need to slow it down without hitting the brakes on your vehicle. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2016 Volkswagen Touareg- Video
Speaker 1: Today in our 2016 Volkswagen Toureg, we'll be having a look at and installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, part number 90885.What sets this brake controller apart from other controllers on the market is we've got this nice, easy to read display, here, but yet we still have features that other, cheaper models don't have without spending a lot of money in order to get those. The ability to run electric over hydraulic brakes is a great benefit that a lot of brake controllers can't do.Another thing I really liked about this controller is the fact that it's proportional. We don't have to worry about messing with the controller while we're driving. If we just need a little bit of braking assistance, it'll give us a little bit of braking assistance. If we have a panic stop, it'll give us more braking power to our trailer brakes so we don't have to worry about our trailer passing us if we're in a panic stop situation.We've already plugged in to our trailer, so you see the C right here means we're connected and we have a good connection between our trailer and our vehicle. If it we're to become disconnected, it would start flashing NC, for "No connection." You'll also see that every time you start your vehicle with no trailer connected to it, to let you know that you're not hooked up.Now, down here on the bottom of the brake controller, we have our manual override switch. more

Speaker 1: Today on this 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited we will be having a look at and showing you how to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller, part number 331-EBRH-ACCV2. In conjunction with the etrailer ETBC7 kit in order to ease our installation, part number ETBC7.Here's what our Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller looks like installed. Once we have it installed it will need to calibrate itself initially and that'll happen with about 20 applications of the brake pedal while the vehicle is in motion. You'll know once it's calibrate when you hook it up to your trailer and you'll have a solid green LED light.Now what's great about this brake controller compared to other proportional brake controllers on the market is that we can mount this virtually anywhere. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite is also proportional but you can also use it in a user control mode as well. What the user control mode is going to it is going to allow you to have the brakes being applied at all times whenever your foot is on the brake pedal, this will be great for off road applications such as if you're towing an overlaying camper or driving over rough terrain and hills this will allow you to have full control over your brakes without having false activations if you're only putting light pressure on your brake pedal.Another great feature about it is that it's super easy to use. more

Redarc Tow-Pro Classic Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Redarc Tow Pro classic trailer brake controller. Part number 331-EBRHV2, in conjunction with the etrailer ETBC7 kit in order to ease our installation, part number ETBC7.Here's what our Redarc Tow Pro classic looks like installed. As you'll notice, what's great about this brake controller compared to other options on the market, is this will allow us to control our electric trailer brakes without having a big bulky brake controller mounted underneath our dash, which takes up valuable leg room. Especially in vehicles that have limited space in front of the driver's seat. This is also a great solution for vehicles that have knee airbags underneath the dash because you can't mount a brake controller over the airbag. That would cause a problem if the airbag was ever to deploy.Now what sets this brake controller part from others on the market too, is that this is a completely user controlled brake controller. more

Now, to help us in our installation, we're going to be using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adaptor for trailer brake controllers, part number 3023-P.Here's our Prodigy P2 installed and what it looks like. Now, our Prodigy P2 is a proportional brake controller, which means it's going to apply the brakes in the same intensity at the same time that it senses our vehicle slowing down. That's because it has an internal inertia sensor that's going to detect the deceleration of our vehicle. Opposed to time delay brake controllers, which are just going to have a slight time delay, and they're going to slowly ramp up the power going to your brakes until it reaches the maximum.Now, the one thing that I really like about the Prodigy P2 is that since it is proportional, if we're at a stoplight, we don't want to brake to the maximum power because we're not moving. We don't need that much power going to our brakes. more

We chose to mount ours here on the kick panel right underneath our dash. Now this is a proportional brake controller, and what that means is it's going to activate our trailer brakes based on thee deceleration of our vehicle. It's going to activate immediately without any timed delay.Our brake controller is going to feature a nice easy to read display. more

The only part that we're gonna have visible on our vehicle at all is our actual push button here with our control knob. As you can see how small and compact it is this makes it an ideal solution for vehicles that don't have a lot of room in order to mount a conventional brake controller. Also if you don't want to have a brake controller mounted in the conventional spot on the lower right hand portion of your dash board because it interferes with your legs while you're driving this is a great solution for you too. Not only that but you can mount the control knob in a location where it's easy for you to reach and see while you're driving so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.As you can see with the location here of our gear shifter and our knob it is in a great location of where our hand will be resting while we're driving when our hand's not on the steering wheel. If we need to shift gears or adjust our brake controller we can easily do it without moving our arm very far.Now our brake controller has an LED that's built into it which shows you where your currently positioned on your knob, anywhere from zero all the way up to ten. more

At a quick glance you can already tell if your trailer's hooked up or not.Our Prodigy P2 is gonna be a proportional brake controller and what that means is it's gonna have an internal sensor that's gonna realize how much we're slowing down so when we apply the brakes on our truck it's gonna apply the same amount and at the same time to our trailer.

Since this is a proportional brake controller and we're in park right now, when I step on my brake pedal, we don't get any power being applied because we're not actually moving.

So here's where our Primus IQ looks like when it's fully installed. Now it is a proportional brake controller, which means it's gonna apply our trailer brakes in the same intensity and at the same time that we apply the brakes in our vehicle. Now what our trailer brake controller is going to do is it's going to take the signal from our brake pedal, so when we press on it, it's gonna take that signal, following the wires, and it's gonna send it out to 7-way at the back, and it's gonna send the proper signal from the back of our 7-way to our trailer to our brakes and have the proper signal, and the right adjustments of everything.Now the CR brake controller is going to let us know that the brake controller senses that the trailer is connected so just a quick glance down, we can know if we're connected properly or if there's any issues at the back. The button on top here is going to be for our boost setting, and we're gonna have three different boost settings. It's gonna be off, one, two, and three. more

You need to have a way to operate them and this brake controller here gives you that ability at a very cost effective price.What sets this brake controller apart from others on the market is that this is a proportional brake controller which activates immediately and gives you smooth and equal stops as opposed to time delay controllers, which there is no even braking. It's either on or off depending on how much power you have set to your brakes through the controller. more

The Brake Controller's part number 20127.Now, my favorite thing about this, the sync feature is very nice. It will really let you dial in to almost make it like a proportional brake controller, but give you the benefits that a time-delay controller offers.Now, this brake controller is a nice, time delayed unit that has more features than some of the cheaper models, but yet this is still a very affordable unit to get for your vehicle. What a time delayed brake controller does over proportional brake controller is, any time your foot's on the brake pedal, the brakes are applied on your trailer even if you're not moving. This is great for if you're using your brake controller on an off-road style trailer.Now, this brake controller has three functions on it that you need to concern yourself with. Right now is your gain. more

So here's what our break controller looks like when it's fully installed. The thing I really like about this particular break controller is that it is a proportional break controller. What that means is it's going to automatically activate our trailer brakes in proportion to our vehicle breaking action.

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2008 Toyota Tacoma- Video
Today in our 2008 Toyota Tacoma, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller, part number TK90160.

Since it is a proportional it's going to activate immediately and there's not going to be any pause like with time delayed brake controllers. It's going to feature three different boost settings if we push this button right here. We're going to have boost one, boost two and boost three.

When we are at a stop light as well our brake controller's actually going to prevent the trailer brakes from overheating by reducing the power output to them during prolonged stops. It has this slider bar here, that's for the main override. more

It's only going to apply our brakes when the internal sensor inside of our brake controller senses that we're slowing down. Now if we come to our arrow buttons over here, this is going to be for our gain control and our max power. more

To ease our installation we'll be using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, part number 3070-P.

When you have a brake controller installed you'll be able to take advantage of those trailer brakes and be able to slow down your trailer a lot more efficiently and putting less strain on your vehicle's brakes.

In an emergency situation when we really have to step on our brakes, it's going to sense that and send power back to accordingly. Now, the benefit of a proportional braking system is that unlike time-delayed systems we don't have to wait for our braking power to go to our trailer. more

The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 is a truly proportional brake controller, which allow us to control from one to four axles of electric trailer brakes. By being truly proportional it'll apply the brakes on your trailer in direct proportion to the amount that your towing vehicle's slowing down. If you're going down a hill you don't have to worry about false triggers being activated because the brake controller is not activated at all until you apply the brakes in your vehicle. When you apply the brakes it shows how much power is going to your trailer brakes. Now, as you hold the brakes for awhile it dials down the power so you don't have to worry about your magnetics on your trailer brakes becoming overheated and shorting out. more
