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.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for electric brake controllers.This is going to allow you to easily connect your brake controller to your vehicle. The black end is going to connect to your brake controller at the back of that controller, just plugs right in and snaps into place. The other end, or the gray end, is going to plug into your vehicle. Now this is custom fit to work with your GMC Sierra 1500, with the factory tow package, as well as the Chevy Silverado 1500, with the tow package, and that's from years 2019 and newer.So this is going to mount up to a port underneath the dash on your driver's side. It's just going to plug right in, has this little tab right there, so you can release that. The nice thing about this adapter is that we don't have to cut or splice anything.
You just plug in both ends and you're ready to go. That also makes it easy to remove this, if you don't want to have your brake controller in your truck all the time. You can easily unplug it, plug it back in, you're good to go.It is going to be custom fit for your vehicle, so you just match up the pins and the plug itself to that harness. It's going to be, again, underneath the driver's side dash, kind of up towards the left side or the kick panel on your driver's side there. You might have to reach up underneath the dash and cut a little bit of tape to get it to come down, but that's where you'll plug this in.
You just want to basically look for anything that's going to match this directly.This is going to be compatible with brake controllers, time delayed. CT-3001-Z It'll work with the Draw-Tite Activator 1, 11 and 111, as as well as the Tekonsha PowerTrac, and it's also going to work with proportional brake controllers, including the Tekonsha Prodigy, the Tekonsha P2, the P3, the Tekonsha Primus IQ, as well as the Tekonsha Voyager. This is just to be a really easy solution to get your brake controller in your vehicle and on with your life.That's going to do it for our look at the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for electric brake controllers.
Easy install simple setup
Everything worked as it should! Very happy with the look as well
Works good
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.
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!
After working with your team, I was able to find my plug on 2023 GMC Sierra. It was cleverly disguised with a fake plug adapter probably to keep it from damage. Once found it was truly a plug and play situation. Your team were amazing. Thank You. Your team is why I continue to work with you.
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
Got a new 2024 Silverado to replace our 2002 model. This plug is a perfect fit do I can use my Prodigy 2 in our new Truck. etrailer is my go to for all my towing needs
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.
Extremely friendly and helpful service, extremely fast shipping and easy plug-in place set up worked perfectly
Easy installation for my 2022 GMC Sierra. Fast and accurate shipping. Product functions very well and is easy to calibrate.
Made the install of my brake controller a 20 minute job. The connector hooked up easily to my new trucks wiring harness.
I use my brake controller in two different vehicles so I needed a second wiring harness. This was as advertised, easy plug and play. My order was shipped and delivered quickly with no issue.
Clean install for my old 97 Silverado
Works great and does take up a lot of room
Loving it
