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 be taking a look at part number 3014-P, this is the Tekonsha custom wiring adapter for trailer brake controllers. This is going to fit a variety of deep applications, so to make sure that this is a fit for your vehicle you can use the vehicle fit guide right here on our website. This unit is going to require your vehicle to have a factory wiring harness. The plug in wiring adapter is going to allow for quick, simple installation of your electric trailer brake controller. A great advantage to a system like this is that you don't have to worry about cutting or splicing any wires. The custom connector right here on this end, custom designed for your vehicle, it's going to plug into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle. This other end is going to plug into the back of your electric brake controller. The great advantage is that you can quickly and easily disconnect and connect from the brake controller any time that you want to. This unit is going to be compatible with time delayed and proportional brake controllers from TrailerMate, Draw-Tite and Tekonsha. Keep in mind that the brake controller must have a built-in port for the adapter to connect, it will not work on controllers with pigtail wiring harnesses. I have a Tekonsha brake controller here today just to show you how easy this connection can be made.
This is what the port is going to look like on the back of your brake controller. Simply just take the flat end of the adapter, place it into that port till it snaps into place and it's fully connected. The only other need would be is to connect this port to the build-in port under the dash of your vehicle. To disconnect from the brake controller it's got this little tab, all you have to do is lift up on it and then wiggle it loose and it disconnects really easily. The wiring is going to have this mesh protector that goes around it, that's just going to keep the wires together, making sure that they're not hanging loose near the pedals of your vehicle or behind the dash. That's going to do it for our review of part number 3014-P, this is the Tekonsha custom wiring adapter for trailer brake controllers. .
Easy install simple setup
Everything worked as it should! Very happy with the look as well
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.
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.
Had to file the bracket down to get it to slide in to the unit. Was able to get the control knob to fit into the dash in the removable card holder. 2022 Chevy, Colorado Z 71.
I wanted it to look like it belonged. Took a bit of fabrication but I think it turned out pretty good. 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT
Was easy(ish) to install in me 2015 Jeep Wrangle Unlimited. Placed the main unit behind the glove compartment using the supplied bracket and the dash knob down near the passenger footwell. There isn't enough length of wire to get the knob to the driver's side in this configuration, but putting the main unit on that side while remaining hidden is a major pain, especially with the upgraded sound system. Used it a few times already, and the adjustability is excellent, it goes from almost imperceptible to locking up the brakes at maximum pretty quickly on the same road. It will serve you well no matter what trailer you are using.
Just installed this item on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4. I have the original Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller.
First off, that factory plug: After you take the single screw off the panel above the driver's left foot, the is still a two inch plastic "finger" in a metal bracket still holding the panel up. Pull the panel toward you and bow the middle down to free the "finger." Also, the factory plug was not just dangling on my Cherokee as some on-line pictures seem to show. It’s in a soft plastic "keeper," so I did not recognize it right away. It is easy to pry out of the keeper with a small screwdriver.
There is not much room on the right side of the steering wheel by the driver's knees, plus there is a knee air bag there you do not want to impede.
So, I installed my controller (with the pocket mount attached) in the utility bin on the left side, above the hood release. The utility bin pops out and it's easy to fish the plug up to the opening created. I cut a hole in the back of the utility bin for the plug to go through, then popped the bin back in place. Put the plug through the empty pocket mount and plugged it into the controller. I snapped the controller into the pocket mount, then set that assemblage into the bin. It fits nice and snug side-to-side. I drilled two small holes near the rubber bumpers at the top of the bin opening and used a small bungee cord to hold the bin up against the controller, hooking the bungee ends into the holes. This keeps the brake controller secure. I still have plenty of knee clearance getting in and out and can easily see and reach the controller. If I remove the controller during the off-season, the utility bin will close fully with the controller plug inside.
Another option is to remove the utility bin altogether and improvise a controller mount in the cavity created. That would work for other controllers and take up even less knee room.
Cable was to connect a Primus IQ controller removed from my previous GM vehicle to my 2020 Jeep Cherokee with the trailer tow package. Jeep connector was not easy to find, a cover needed to be moved (one screw and some brute force). The Jeep connector was attached to a mounting bracket so it would not flop around, once snapped out of the connector the cable fit fine. Other issue was that the cable must go over the knee airbag. I presume if the bag blew, it would blow controller down to your feet. Couldn't find an area to mount it that didn't interfere with the airbag. Not the cable's fault. Whatever you do, do not screw your controller to the airbag cover.
I liked that no splicing was required.
This brake controller works fantastic! It’s everything I needed for the electric brakes on my travel trailer hauled behind my Jeep Cherokee. Being able to easily adjust for varying weight and driving conditions is awesome.
Installation is neat in appearance, but the vehicle’s mating harness was a b****h to reach.
The pictures and videos on your site gave me the confidence to try this myself. I even improved upon the install showed on the website. The install took me less than 15 minutes, and by removing the small pocket " drawer" in the dash, a very low profile and smooth look was retained.
My local post office was undermanned and late with the product and customer service was excellent in helping me track it down.
I saved over $160 compared to what local retail establishments were quoting me... excellent job all around.
Thanks for exceeding all of my expectations.
Clean install for my old 97 Silverado
Works great and does take up a lot of room
Loving it
