Get a brake controller in your truck that looks like it's supposed to be there. This sleek knob blends right into your dash and makes your settings simple and convenient to adjust.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The main unit must be mounted horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel within 20 degrees.
Power output: To get more power output - the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes - rotate the knob clockwise. To decrease the power output, rotate it counterclockwise.
Manual override: To engage manual override, simply press the knob. This will activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights independent of your tow vehicle, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in an emergency. The Voyager iD will reach the maximum set power in half a second.
The Voyager comes in 2 pieces: the main unit and the control knob.
The control knob can be installed in any convenient spot that's easy for you to see and access. This can be a blank switch panel, an open spot on your center console, or wherever there's space on your dashboard. Before you do any drilling, be sure there's enough clearance behind the dash for the entire knob to install!
Once you've decided where you want to put the control knob, you'll need to find a good place to install the main unit. It needs to be horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel within 20 degrees. A mounting kit with hardware is included.
This kit comes with a vehicle-specific wiring harness that plugs right into the factory port beneath the dash of your vehicle. That means no hardwiring!
You will also need a circuit breaker kit to complete your installation:
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-control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).
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 iD uses an internal inertia sensor 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.

Today we're going to review part number 3070-P. This is the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for the Draw-Tite and the Tekonsha electric brake controllers. Now this is a custom fit part number. It is designed to fit the 2006 to 2014 Honda Ridgeline with the factory tow package and the 2009 tecurrent 00:00:21 Honda Pilot with the factory tow package. Now this wiring adapter will help ease the installation of your electric brake controller. The one end with the gray connector is a custom connector end which will plug into the built in factor brake controller port that's usually beneath the dash of your vehicle. The other end, the smaller black flat design end, will plug into the back of your electric brake controller.
Now this adapter is compatible with the time-delayed brake controllers by Draw-Tite and also the proportional brake controllers by Tekonsha like the Prodigy, Prodigy P2, Prodigy P3, the Primus IQ and the Voyager. Basically when you go to install this, I've got a sample here of a Tekonsha P3 brake controller. We do sell that separately on our website, part number 90195. If you look at the back you can see where the plug would go in so you just take your plug, push it and it snaps into place, locks into place. Then you just go to your other end where the custom connector is and they you'll just find the location of your factory controller brake port, usually under the dash. Match up the connector, plug it right in and you'd be ready to go.
When you need to remove your brake controller all you need to do is pull up on the tab and it'll release it from the controller. That should do it for the review on part number 3070-P, the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for the Draw-Tite and Tekonsha electric brake controllers. .
Easy install simple setup
Works good
The install was pretty simple. It took some time to modify the knock out plug to conceal the adjustment knob but after a bit of work it fit nicely and looks like it’s supposed to be there. I missed a photo of the final mont of the control unit but I was able to install the supplied clip for the module just above the airbag. There is a clip that holds the wire for the computer input so I removed it for extra space and secured the wire with a zip tie.
Works great. custom harness makes it plug and play!
Easy install. I used the cable harness that came with my 22 Silverado. Hardest part was just locating a place on the dash for the knob and access from behind for the 2 inches or so length of the switch assembly. Small and looks good on the dash.
The ordering, follow up and fast delivery were excellent.
Perfect fit for the 2012 Honda Pilot 4WD (with factory tralier hitch)!
Product works great. It shipped right away and was at a great price.
Installed on a 2008 Ridgeline with a Voyager. Plenty of wire, plugged right in, and the connections seem to be solidly made.
Plugged into my existing factory plug like etrailer said it would.
This product went in like a dream, little trouble finding the vehicle end plug though. will definitely buy from this outfit again!!
I ordered this with a controller for my 2010 Ridgeline. Finding the hidden connector on my Ridgeline was a challange but once I did the 3070-P plugged in no problem. I'm very satisfied with everything.
Product worked just as described for quick plug and play. I had it installed in 5 minutes. etrailer has amazing customer service and quick shipping, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from etrailer again.
I chose this Tekonsha Voyager ID for installation in my Audi SQ7 ecause Tekonsha has a great reputation for brake controllers when used with Airstreams. The brakes are easy to dial in and once you get it, the control at both high and low speed is perfect. A Redarc controller I used on a previous tow vehicle struggled to find a good balance. Tekonsha has this nailed. I love that I don’t have to mount a box beneath the dash and that the control is easy to reach, not ever in my way and easy to adjust. Perfect!
Fitted to our 2020 Highlander XSE V6. Install is straight forward, but you'll need to run your cold-side brake wire to a relay. The module will back-feed 12V into your brake light circuit which will trip all of your cars sensors (collision warning, parking, lane keep assist, radar cruise, etc.). The easiest place to tap the cold-side wire is from the trailer controller box located behind the 3rd row cup-holders (you may need to take the whole panel off to access). Cold side brake wire is a gray/lavender (beige) wire between the green and pink wires (pin 8). It's aluminum... so you can't solder to it.
The length of the cable to the switch/encoder should be longer or, have a connector so an extension cable could be used.
When I finally found a place to mount the controller within reach of the knob, I discovered that the foam mounting pad only had adhesive on one side. So that was useless. Sometime during the installation, I lost the nut that holds the encoder on the dash. I was disappointed when I called etrailer and they told me they don’t sell individual parts. They gave me the manufacturer’s phone number where I waited on hold for an hour before I hung up.
We found this product through a search for info on how to install a brake controller on our 2017 Honda Ridgeline. We had a Draw-Tite Activator IV Controller but struggled to hook it up until we watched your online video and discovered the existence of this Tekonsha adapter (3070-P) which was literally plug and play. We chose to install our controller in the same location as in the video but did not want to cut a hole in the panel. The wires tucked easily out of the way without cutting the hole. We towed yesterday and the trailer brakes/controller worked perfectly. Never could have done this without your video and this adapter. The picture shows our controller installed. You can’t really see the adapter since much of it is tucked under the dash.
We have a Honda Ridgeline and this part plugged into the factory plug that was under the dash by the emergency brake petal switch. It was difficult to get to, but success was achieved. This was needed for our camper trailer. This made it easy, no hard wiring, just ordered the part for the Ridgeline and then plug and go. The brake controller plugged into the other end and now I am a happy camper. It worked, I blew a fuse while installing, must have touched something? No problem though, replaced it and was all was good.
I gave this a 4 star just because I haven't been able to hook up the trailer yet. The Primus IQ brake controller light is on so I'm assuming it will be fine. The harness arrived in good time.
I was able to hook it up in my 2017 Honda Ridgeline in about 20 minutes. The longest part was finding the connection! It was above and left of the parking brake. A headlamp really helped. It's very tight in there so I could use only one hand and did a lot of it by feel. In the picture you need to follow the red wire to the connection.
The brake controller I mounted on the plastic in front of my right knee.
