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.

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. .
The ordering, follow up and fast delivery were excellent.
good value but the swivel mount being optional should be made more clear
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.
This product went in like a dream, little trouble finding the vehicle end plug though. will definitely buy from this outfit again!!
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.
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.
Simple plug and play. Feels like quality material and the fit was flawless in my 2014 Pilot.
Easy to install. Plugged right in to the Honda connector near the parking brake pedal. Plenty of length to mount the brake controller where desired.
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.
Perfect length and fit in my 2022 Honda Ridgeline. I carefully cut a hole at the back of the pocket just above the transmission controls, and with one end plugged into the truck, the other end was just long enough to plug into the controller before mounting it. I appreciate the nylon loom over the wires x a little extra protection when dragging the wires over metal brackets.
Not much to say. I plugged one end into my 2023 Honda Ridgeline and the other into my Tekonsha brake controller it worked perfectly.
This harness along with a Redarc,Item #331-TPH-017 Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness made this a clean plug and play harness.
I use the following brake controller, Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller - Dash Knob - Up to 2 Axles - Proportional
Item #RED24FR
Very simple to install. Highly recommend this product to everyone. If you have a brake controller, don't forget to put a 20amp fuse in the fusebox for the electric brakes.
Hello, as requested I have attached some pics of the brake controller after installation on my 2017 Honda Ridgeline.
I have a lease vehicle so I did not want to drill any holes in the vehicle to mount or run wires. So what I did was install the mount bracket upside down and place a strong commercial velcro patch to the brake controller mount and to the tray area that it is sitting on. Then I slipped the wire harness between the crack in the IP and the lower console and tucked it up behind the dash so it could not be seen. The velcro holds the brake controller quite secure. This way I can remove the controller and reuse in my next vehicle without leaving any permanent marks or holes to this one.
Anyway , just thought I would share…
As far as the controller. I am very happy with its operation and functions.
Just bought a Prodigy 3 and on my first trip with our light weight T@B clamshell with electric brakes pulled with a 2016 Honda Pilot...very satisfied.
I installed a factory hitch and harness and the cable etrailor provided snapped right in. The trailer is under 2,000 lbs so I opted to bet the boost to zero. So far so good. The only issue is it seems to apply the brakes more firmly when going over rough pavement, otherwise the braking action is very smooth.
I didn't want to mount the controller bracket permanently so I bent an angle plate into a U shape and pop riveted it so it would hang in the lower trim panel.
Purchased this brake controller and the corresponding wiring harness and installed in my 2017 Ridgeline. Installation was easy. Factory plug is behind dash right above the parking brake. A little tight to get your hand in, but not too bad. I did not cut thru the plastic panel behind the controller like some installs. Cable is long enough and can be ran in the crack between the two plastic panels (See picture). Install turned out good and controller is easy to setup. Very happy with purchase.
I bought this to connect a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller to the 2020 Honda Ridgeline factory trailer wiring harness. It's a perfect fit. I routed the wiring adapter through the space between the lower part of the dash and the upper part of the console. This prevented having to drill a 1" diameter hole in the back of the dash pocket to allow clearance for the adapter connector.
Just bought the Tekonsha Primus IQ and installed it. Haven't used it yet, as I pick up my first travel trailer next week. Product is solid, packaged with ample, clear instructions, wiring and mounting hardware. Lower dash on my Honda Ridgeline slopes steeply so I fashioned an L-bracket from 14 ga. steel bar and secured to side of center stack (see photo). Nice and level. Wiring to my harness was a bear, just because of where my connector was buried; needed the YouTube videos. Price was much lower from etrailer than any RV dealer around here. Arrived in less than a week. Think I made a smart choice. If it works as advertised it will get a fifth star.
Super easy install. I used the adapter cable for my 22 Ridgeline and had the controller installed and operational in 20 minutes. I highly recommend the TEKONSHA PRODIGY P3 this works real well with the 7x14 COVERED WAGON we just bought. ETRAILER is the got to source for what you need for any trailer.
I installed the Primus Brake Controller in my 2020 Ridgeline RTL and it works great. The Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter was critical to make this location of the controller possible.
