Specs:
The Pro Series Pilot comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the Pilot. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. The amount of braking power (output) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.
Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. Use the thumbwheel on the side to change the braking output level. The output setting will appear as a number on the digital display, with a higher number indicating higher braking power.
The Pro Series Pilot keeps the manual override within easy reach on the front of the module, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. Push the slide-bar to activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.
Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, so long as you can still easily access the controller and manual override. The Pilot is especially flexible; its microprocessor allows the controller to even be mounted upside down, and it will still give you a readable display. The Pilot can go wherever you need it. Plus, the included wiring adapter eases installation overall. The custom connector end plugs into the port on your vehicle and the other end plugs into the controller.
You can use etrailer's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Tekonsha plug-in wiring adapter for electric brake controllers. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 and newer Dodge Durango with the factory tow package, fits the 2017 and newer Chrysler Pacifica with the factory tow package, and the 2011 and newer Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer with the factory tow package. Now on a custom fit part like this I like to always recommend for you to go to our website use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show if this'll work for your application. Now this wiring adapter here will let you easily install your Tekonsha or Draw-Tite electric brake controller to your vehicle.
This adapter requires no hard wiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. And because there's no wires to connect, installation's not permanent. You can just unplug it, remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away. The custom connector right here, this end, will plug into the built-in port that's beneath the dash of your vehicle, and this other end right here is what'll plug into the back of your electric brake controller.
Now, this is compatible with time-delayed brake controllers by Draw-Tite, the Draw-Tite Activator I, Draw-Tite Activator II, the Draw-Tite Activator III, and also the Tekonsha PowerTrac. It is also compatible with proportional brake controllers, the Tekonsha Prodigy, Tekonsha P2, Tekonsha P3, Tekonsha Primus IQ, and the Tekonsha Voyager. But that should do it for the review on this Tekonsha plug-in wiring adapter for your electric brake controllers..
good value but the swivel mount being optional should be made more clear
Simple plug and play for my 2017 Cherokee saved me buying a new brake controller, simply moved my older one to my new car
Great deal
easy to use brake box
Easy to connect (on a Grand Cherokee TH, anyway), easy to set-up, easy to use. Does what it's supposed without any hassle.
Exactly what I needed.I called and spoke to someone they told me what part to order.
Thanks!
Great product
Jeep is not making brake controllers or wiring adapters for my vehicle. Glad my RV dealer pointed me to check with Tekonsha and etrailer.
This wiring adapter will make the installation of the brake controller much easier and more reliable than splicing wires. Look on YouTube for an installation video.
Works perfectly. I made a good purchase choice.
My car came with a tow package but without trailer brake control and so it had a plug to connect the controller to. This plugged into that and voila. I had a place to connect the trailer brake controller. I know little to nothing about cars and was able to do it myself. 10/10 would recommend. Saved me a custom job bill.
its the simple way to add the brake controller. Just plug and play. No splicing and discing of the of the vehicle wiring harness.
Easy ordering, fit perfectly on my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee... So much valuable info on etrailer, and very reasonable shipping to Canada !
I recently purchased a new Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the trailer tow package. I was looking for a replacement adapter for my Tekonsha Primus IQ. This particular wiring adapter was not a guarantee fit, but after plugging it in to the harness on my new vehicle it works fine. So, based on my experience, this adapter does properly work with the tow package wiring on 2023 JGCLs.
Perfect fit for my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Super quick install.
Great product. Easy fit. Makes installation real easy
Plug and play with proper wiring harness made installation a snap. Break controller worked great on our Jeep Grand Cherokee. I highly recommend.
Great brakebox
I ordered a wiring harness for a trailer brake controller and paid for quicker delivery. I received a clear lens cover for an interior dome light. Customer Service did answer the phone and said they would try to send the right part… but the parts delay makes a trip with the trailer impossible.
great brake box
Great experience, easy installation. Shipping to canada right now was a 3 week ordeal but overall that is the only drawback. Yes, I would buy from etrailer again.
Sells out fast
Plug and play as advertised. The wires are nicely protected. I mounted my brake controller under the dash, just below the ignition. I had plenty of wire.
Thanks for the fastest shipping and awesome pricing. I've used these brake controller for years. Great product and great pricing. Thanks etrailer!
Worked great to hook up my brake contro ller.
