Tekonsha Prodigy Electric Trailer Brake Controller with General Motors Adapter (2003-2006)
Tekonsha introduces Prodigy, one of the most advanced and intelligent approaches to trailer brake controls. Prodigy, requiring no manual leveling, is a technological breakthrough among inertia-activated brake controls. Equipped with a self-adjusting sensing device similar to the one used in guided-missile technology to allow for easy, flexible installation - from nearly horizontal to nearly vertical - the Tekonsha Prodigy constantly adjusts itself to the position of the tow vehicle.

- No level adjustment necessary - it adjusts itself to varying terrain as you drive.
- Works proportionally in reverse - great for backing into tough spots.
- Digital display depicts voltage delivery to trailer during braking.
- Continual diagnostics check for proper connection, shorted magnet condition and much more.
- "Boost" feature gives users the ability to apply more initial trailer braking power when towing heavier trailers.
- Power-saving mode reduces drain on battery when vehicle is not in use.
