Does Prodigy RF Brake Controller Have To Be Paired Every Time It Is Used

Question:

If I use this kit with multiple trailers, and multiple vehicles do you have to pair every time you use it? Or does it have some sort of memory to stay paired together over time?

If you are using multiple vehicles and trailers, the Tekonsha RF Brake Controller, part # TK94FR will need to be paired each time you change either the vehicle or trailer.

The RF senses the distance from the ground and when towing with different components whether it is the trailer or tow vehicle, it needs to reset to that configuration. If you are single-towing which is using the same trailer and tow vehicle every time you do not have to pair it each time, even if you disconnect them from one another.

The RF is not capable of retaining a setup as you mentioned and would need to go through the pairing process when ever you use it for the best performance.
