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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Tekonsha plug-in wiring adapter for your electric brake controller. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2019 and newer Subaru Ascent with the factory tow package. And on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website and use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle. That'll show if this will work for your application.
Basically, this wiring adapter will let you easily install your Tekonsha or your Draw-Tite electric brake controller in your vehicle. This adapter requires no hard wiring. It is designed to just plug directly into your electric brake controller on this end for the simplest installation possible. Now, because there's no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. So you can basically unplug it, remove your brake controller at any time and securely store it away.
The custom connector end right here is what'll plug in to the built-in port that's beneath the dash of your vehicle. And as we mentioned, the other end right here is designed to plug in to the back of your electric brake controller. Now this is compatible with the time-delayed brake controllers, the Draw-Tite activator I, Draw-Tite activator II, the Draw-Tite activator III, and the Tekonsha PowerTrac, and is also compatible with proportional brake controllers by Tekonsha, the Tekonsha Prodigy, Tekonsha P2, Tekonsha P3, the Tekonsha Primus IQ, and the Tekonsha Voyager. Does come with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how this installs and where you can find your plug at on your vehicle. But that should do it for the review on the Tekonsha plug-in wiring adapter for your electric brake controller.

Easy install simple setup
Everything worked as it should! Very happy with the look as well
Works good
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.
I am not mechanical in any way and was told by a ship it would run about $450-$500 to install my break Controller. With this plug-in adaptor and the extremely easy to follow instructions. I installed it in less than 15 minutes, and it works perfectly.
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
As of today, I have not connected to my travel trailer. However, a big thanks to the people who made the installation instructions. They showed the exact location of the car end (female end) of the cable. I did remove the one plastic trim panel to make reaching it easier. It's held in place by one turn and pull button.
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.
Will try and return this. When I went to install I noticed this did not have an inline fuse. The supplied Subaru harness that came with my car did have the inline fuse. Although this product would have been simple plug and play, I opted to do the wiring myself because I wanted to be sure I had that protection between my tow vehicle and trailer.
Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller is Awesome. You have 3 levels of braking power to choose from with the Tekonsha brake controller. You can select a certain level, and even adjust the amount of braking power on the move, which is a great option. I had the Tekonsha controller in my Dodge pickup, then moved it to my Subaru Ascent, one year ago. I have been a professional driver for 49 years, with two national safe driving awards. Safety comes first, and Tekonsha helps me achieve that goal, every time I tow. The two pictures do not show the fully loaded cab of vehicle, or the 600 lbs of concrete bags. I was not pushing my allowed weight limit, although the Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller makes towing pleasant.
This electric brake actuator has worked flawlessly for the past year. It adjusts based on my device settings as I apply my car brakes. My car, a 2020 Subaru, came equipped with a tow package. The car's female plug made installation truly a plug and play event. My etrailer customer service rep was accurate in her explanation and recommendation of the Tekonsha. Thanks again etrailer team! You keep earning my business.
Needed a brake controller and wiring harness for our 2019 Subaru Ascent. Have always enjoyed easy ordering process and top quality products from etrailer; however, this time I wanted to make sure I got best fit for my intended use. Emailed Customer Svc and received next day a very nice email from Derek S, fully explaining his recommendation and suggesting the appropriate wiring harness for my Ascent. I placed the order, products arrived timely and installation took me maybe 1 hour, most of which was fabricating a bracket which allowed me to mount controller in a cavity under dash I “simply” created by popping out a fuse block cover. Tekonsha P-3 controller tucked neatly into cavity (see photo), plugged harness (3062-P) into existing Subaru plug and controller came on. Etrailer and it’s friendly, helpful staff ROCKS!!!
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.
First understand that I have the mechanical ability of a gerbil. That being said. I had unit up and calibrated within 8 minuets of delivery by ups. It truly is plug and play. I am enclosing a picture of plug, harness attached to plug and unit sitting in little alcove to left of steering wheel that looks like it was made for it. It took 8
Minuets
