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 on our 2008 Ford F350 Chassis Cab, we'll be installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part number 90885, along with part number 3034-P, along with our Hopkins adapter 4 pole to 7 and 4 pole, part number 37185 mounted to the universal mounting bracket, part number 18136. Our first step, we'll be starting at the rear of the vehicle, attaching the mounting bracket. We'll be doing a custom install on this particular application. So we'll go ahead and take the mounting bracket and set it on the vehicle. Then we can take a paint marker, mark out the area around where we can attach the bracket to the vehicle and at this particular location it is the cross member. Then we'll go ahead and remove the bracket and pre-drill the holes into the cross member. Next, I'll go ahead and take a pair of vice grips and secure the bracket over the holes that we just drilled out. Now we'll be able to go ahead and pre-drill all the way through the bracket. Now that we finished our pre-drilled hole on the driver's side, we'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger's side.
Now with our pre-drilled holes going through the bracket, we'll move over to our stationary object where we can drill larger holes through our pre-drilled holes through the bracket. This will allow us to take our self-tapping screws, go down through the bracket and into the cross member at our pre-drilled attachment points. Now with our bracket secured to the vehicle, we'll move over and attach the 7 pole bracket to the 7 pole using the hardware provided with our install kit. Note a quick tech tip, if you plan on wrapping up these wires with some electrical tape, I recommend to do it before you attach it to the vehicle. It can make it easier. Now we will not be using the purple wire coming from our 7 pole so we'll go ahead and cut it off short, and wrap it up inside the black electrical tape. The purple wire would connect your reverse trailer lights which will not be needed for this application. Now we're ready to go ahead and attach it to the vehicle. We'll use the hardware provided with the universal mounting bracket to secure the 7 pole bracket to our universal mounting bracket. Now with that done, we can go ahead and start connecting our wires.
Here on the manufacturer side, we'll be using the red wire, which will be our hot lead, connected directly to the black wire from our 7 pole, and the blue wire which will be the brake control circuit coming from our brake controller to the blue wire on our 7 pole. We'll cut off the manufacturer ends, strip them back, then attach them to the yellow butt connectors already attached to our 7 pole wiring. Next, we'll take the 4 pole on the vehicle side and connect it with the 4 pole on our new 7 pole connector end. Quick tech tip, I recommend to put some Dielectric Grease in between these two connection points to help keep out corrosion. Now with all those connections made, I'll ahead and take some black electrical tape, wrap up our wires to help keep out dirt, dust, debris and moisture. We'll go ahead and use some black zip ties to secure our wiring. Next we'll take the white wire with the pre-attached ring terminal coming from our 7 pole and secure it to the frame or cross member of the vehicle. This will be the ground for our new 7-4 pole connector. Using a self-tapping screw, we can go ahead and attach the ring terminal directly to the cross member. Then we'll cut off the excess from the zip ties to clean up the install look. Next we'll move into the cab of the vehicle.
We'll need to locate the manufacturer's brake control plug. For this application, it's located behind the coin holder so we'll need to pop the panel loose holding auxiliary switches, then pop free the coin holder panel. As you can see just behind the coin holder is the grey electrical plug. Pressing on the locking tab, we can remove it from the coin holder. This will allow us to take our direct-fit brake control plug and plug into the manufacturer's wiring.
Take the opposite end, which will plug into the back of our brake controller and feed it behind the dash panel underneath where we can gain access to it. Now we'll go ahead and reinstall the interior trim panels. Next we'll take the brake controller pocket holder and secure it to the dash using the screws provided with their install kit. Now we'll take the brake control plug-in, feed it through the pocket holder and make the connection with the brake controller. As you can see, it'll power up the brake controller. Now go ahead and drop the brake controller into the pocket and secure it. Next we'll take a couple of black zip ties and secure the excess wiring up underneath the dash. We'll cut off the excess from our zip ties and this will complete the install of our Prodigy P2 brake controller with direct fit plug, part number 90885, along with part number 3034-P in conjunction with the new 7 and 4 pole connector, part number 37185 and our universal mounting bracket, part number 18136 on our 2008 Ford F350 Cab and Chassis. .
Easy install simple setup
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.
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.
Easy to install
Product was shipped very fast and arrived well before expected time. Good Service, good products....great experience.
i had to re-pin the truck side plug, etrailer support was prompt and right on the money. ok product, great vendor support.
Outstanding customer service!!! The quickest online shipment I have ever received without having to pay for express shipping. I would recommend etrailer over any other website. The cables plugged directly into the factory harness as suggested to etrailer.
Ordered a #90195 Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller and the 3034-P Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for my 2009 Georgetown F550 chassis. Excellent shipping time!!! I was desperate to get it before the weekend and it all arrived a day earlier than anticipated ! Also, eTrailer honored their Price Pledge when I saw the same items for a few $ less on another site.
Great customer service ! thanks !
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.
Perfect fit for my 2018 ford e450 jayco motorhome
Perfect fit for our Minnie Winnie (on the 2016 Ford E450 chassis). The cable is a perfect fit, and the installation electrically is a breeze. Where to mechanically mount our controller is another story. Taking out the accessory plate was also a slight challenge, the existing battery boost switch is a bit large. The switch wants to stay in the dash as the switch cutout on the dash is a bit too small, it holds the assembly in place loosely on the dash. It requires a bit of moving the trim plate, and the metal backing plate behind it back and forth, up and down to break the switch mounting tabs free from the dash after removing the two trim screws. Once the trim plate has been removed, the factory controller cable is in plain view and is the 3034-P snaps right on.
Since my controller travels between the Minnie and another vehicle, I didn't want to do a permanent installation, thus there is no clean final installation picture shown. There is room for a controller to the right of the existing switch (if I were to make a rectangular cutout in the trim plate, but I may end up just using a Velcro attachment of the controller bracket to the top of the dash. Under dash mount is not an option as you couldn't see the controller or easily reach its controls.
Etrailers was extemely helpful in helping navigate what trailer brake controller i needed. They pick up the phone when you call and shipped within hours of the order. Got it just a couple of days later. The part was $40 cheaper than on (another site) too.
