This proportional brake controller is designed to keep towing simple. Includes an LED braking indicator, a slide-bar manual override, and a knob to adjust braking power. Mounts easily within a 90-degree vertical range.

Specs:
Once the brake controller is installed, you can use the knob on the right side of the unit to adjust the gain (also known as output). Gain lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. You want to set it as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Typically, this setting is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if you switch over from a heavy, loaded trailer to a much lighter, empty trailer, or vice versa.
You can fine-tune the gain by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor using the knob on the left side. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. You can adjust this when you're towing heavy loads and you need more umph to bring your trailer to a stop. Your tow vehicle doesn't need that much power to brake in time, but your heavy trailer does. A high sensitivity level will get the braking power to your trailer brakes faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward.
LED Indicator
Keeping with its simple design, the Voyager will not overwhelm you with information. An LED indicator on the top of the unit lights up green to show that your trailer is securely connected to your tow vehicle. The LED indicator will change to red when the brakes on your trailer are activated.
During installation and setup, this light is also used to ensure that the Voyager will be able to function correctly. Proper leveling of the internal sensor is crucial to the operation of this brake controller. When the sensor is level, the LED will change to a shade of orange.
The Voyager is designed to be mounted in your cab at a vertical angle that is between -20 degrees and 70 degrees. The brake controller needs to be horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel in order to function properly.
To connect the Voyager, just plug the included harness into your vehicle. The other end plugs into the controller - no hardwiring required.
Once the controller is mounted and connected, you must level the internal sensor. First, set the overall power to the maximum using the knob on the side of the controller. Then, while pressing the tow vehicle's brake pedal, adjust the level knob on the other side of the brake controller (this is the same knob that is used to fine-tune the power output) until the LED monitor is a shade of orange.
Note: If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, take a look at our exclusive 7- and 4-way brake controller installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).
The Tekonsha Voyager brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.
The Voyager uses a pendulum system to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to slow at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Hola neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at the Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter for your Tekonsha brake controller on a Nissan or Infiniti SUV. So this is gonna work with your Armada and also your Q series SUVs, and it's gonna work pretty easily by simply just plugging into the factory tow package, and this other end is gonna allow you to plug into your Tekonsha or Draw-Tite style brake controller, making this a plug and play installation super easy. Now, if you have a Tekonsha brake controller like we have here, we have a Prodigy P2, they have a very similar connector to a bunch of the different Tekonsha brake controllers as well as the Draw-Tite. And this harness is gonna allow us to simply snap this into place here, and then this portion will plug in directly to our tow package, which is gonna be located under the dash. Now, to find your plug, it's gonna be pretty easy. Now, I have this portion of our panel dropped down, you don't need to do that, I'm just doing this to make it a little bit easier for you to find it.
And what you're gonna be looking for is kind of right at the steering column, you're gonna see that we have just the steering column here, but also, a white plastic box here. And you're gonna reach for a thick wire loom, and taped to it is going to be a white plug, and this white plug is gonna correspond with the other side of our harness here. So pretty simple, we'll just plug this in. And as soon as I plug that in, you can see that we have NC, which is not connected to our trailer, but we have power to our brake controller, so all that's really left to do is get this mounted up underneath our dash and we're ready to go. So this is super easy if you have that factory tow package to get your brake controller working properly.
Now, this is gonna be compatible with time delayed brake controllers, so that's gonna be your Draw-Tite Activators as well as the Tekonsha PowerTrac, and also, proportional brake controllers including the Prodigies as well as the Primus and the Voyager. So if you're looking to get your Tekonsha or Draw-Tite brake controller hooked up then start to tow with those trailer brakes, this is gonna be a super easy quick way to get that ready to go and you'll be towing in no time. So overall, this maybe takes about five minutes to get installed, and it's just, again, a plug and play, easy way to get it hooked up. And that was a look at the Tekonsha Brake Controller Wire Harness Adapter..
