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.

All right, today on this 2012 Toyota Tacoma were going to install a brake controller, part number 90885 from Tekonsha. This is a Prodigy P2. To help us install this were also going to use part number 3040-P. This is a cable that will go between the brake controller and the port on the truck. Well start off with this part number. Well go ahead and look for the port underneath the dash on the left hand side by the drivers side door.
When we look for a wiring harness going vertical well see a mass of wires. Now, look for a rather thick blue wire compared to the rest of them and our port should be connected to that. Now in this particular vehicle the port was actually hidden behind the wires and you could not see it at all. You have to use your fingers to feel around for the back side of the wires to help pull the port around. We have it pulled out just enough to give you an idea of where to look for it.
Now well go ahead and pull the rest of the wires out, and well go ahead and plug in our adapter cable. The two white ends match up and well plug them together. Now well also take the white wire with the ring terminal and we need to ground that to the body so well take a self-tapping sheet metal screw and well attach that to the inside sheet metal of the vehicle. Now lets go ahead and find a place for our brake controller. You want the brake controller more or less in a straight position.
It can be tilted up and down as needed to, but not too much of a twist so because of this were going to locate ours on the left hand side. Well make sure our brackets straight, well hold the bracket up a little bit lower than we would and make a couple marks on the dash. Well go ahead and attach it to the plastic using the sheet metal screws provided. With our bracket in place we can go ahead and attach the adapter cord to our brake controller, and then well attach the brake controller to our bracket. Therell be two screws that attach it from the side, and then well take a few zip ties and zip tie the excess cable behind the dash.
When we plug in our trailer youll see that our brake controller will display a C for connected. If theres not a trailer itll display NC for no connection. Now well check the manual override. You can see we have the numbers show up from zero to eleven, and then well go ahead and turn the boost on to position one then well hit the brake pedal. That will let us know that we have signal from the brake pedal. So that looks like everything is working. And with that that will finish it for our install of part number 90885 from Tekonsha, the Prodigy P2 brake controller on our 2012 Toyota Tacoma.
Everything worked as it should! Very happy with the look as well
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.
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.
