Trailer-Mounted Brake Controller

The Tekonsha Prodigy RF is a completely plug-and-play option that's easy to install and simple to use. It mounts on your trailer and connects via Bluetooth to a handheld remote that you'll keep with you in your cab. This remote gives you all the convenience of a wireless brake controller without tethering you to an app that will drain your phone battery or restrict how you can use your phone.

There's nothing mounted in the cab to get in your way with the RF either, so you won't be banging your knee on the controller as you get in and out of your vehicle. You don't have to mess with your vehicle's wiring or find a place to mount the controller where it won't interfere with your lower airbags. The Prodigy RF removes all of that hassle. It's convenient, out of the way, and works with all tow vehicles that have a 7-way trailer connector, whether they have older standard wiring configurations or newer PWM or multiplex systems.

The fact that the Prodigy RF installs on your trailer - and not in your vehicle - also means that you can switch back and forth between different tow vehicles with no additional setup. This is great if you have a fleet or want to have the option of sharing your trailer.

Wireless Operation via Bluetooth

With the main unit mounted on the trailer, the plug-in remote puts control of your trailer's brakes right in your hand. In addition to offering fast and easy power adjustment and a manual override, it keeps your cab clutter-free and your towing experience simple. The remote plugs into your vehicle's standard 12-volt accessory outlet and controls the module wirelessly via Bluetooth. The large LED screen and user-friendly buttons make it easy to set your braking output, boost level, and to activate the manual override.

You can use the knob on the right side of the remote to adjust the braking output. This will set the amount of power the brake controller sends to your trailer to bring it to a stop; how much you'll need will depend on the weight of your trailer. You can change the level while you're at a complete stop or while you're driving, and the brake controller will adjust accordingly. You'll want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. There is no need to adjust this setting unless you are going from an empty trailer to a fully loaded trailer or vice versa.

The button on the left is the manual override. It's large and easy to reach, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. When you engage the manual override, the trailer's brakes and brake lights activate without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.

Power Boost for Heavy-Duty Towing

The boost setting controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking output. You can adjust this when you're towing heavy loads and you need more umph to bring your trailer to a stop. Your tow vehicle doesn't need that much power to brake in time, but your heavy trailer does.

Depending on the level of boost, your trailer brakes can start at either 13 percent or 25 percent of the set braking output. What this means is that, instead of starting at 0, the brakes will start at 25 percent and get to 100 percent sooner. This keeps the trailer from pushing your tow vehicle forward.

To cycle through the different levels of boost, press the button in the right-hand corner of the remote. If your trailer weighs less than your tow vehicle, no boost is needed. But, if you want your trailer to lead the braking, you can select level B1.

Boost Levels:

Approximate Gross Trailer Weight	Boost Level	Increase in Initial Power Output
Less than tow vehicle GVW	B1	13%
Equal to tow vehicle GVW	B1 or B2	13% or 25%
Up to 25% more than tow vehicle GVW	B2 or B3*	25%
Up to 40% more than tow vehicle GVW	B3*	25%

*Both B2 and B3 offer a 25-percent boost in initial power. But the braking curve for B3 is more aggressive than that of B2. This means that, even though you will start out with the same intensity when using these boost levels, you will get an overall more aggressive braking experience with the higher level. So if you use B3, you will reach maximum braking sooner than if you use B2.

Safety Features

The Prodigy RF offers key safety features to prevent damage to various components of your towing setup. In addition to basic troubleshooting, this controller works to prevent problems before they begin. When the Prodigy RF is not in use, it will be in power-saving mode. After 2 hours of inactivity, the system will automatically go into sleep mode. Both of these modes are designed to drop the power draw, minimizing drain on your vehicle's battery.

The RF also comes equipped with a hold feature to prevent wear on your brakes. When you're waiting at a red light, you don't need your trailer brakes on at full power. The longer you sit there, the more they will overheat. But with the RF, any time your tow vehicle and trailer are at a standstill with the brakes applied for more than 5 seconds, the hold feature will kick on and reduce power to just 25 percent. This will keep your trailer in place while saving your brakes.

In addition, the RF offers diagnostic codes to alert you to problems such as:

Open ground
Overload
Output short
Power loss
No trailer connection

Automatic Leveling and Simple Installation

The self-leveling feature of the Prodigy RF ensures that the brake controller continues to function even as you drive up steep hills or through the mountains. Simply mount the power module on your trailer tongue or frame within ± 5 degrees of level on the horizontal plane and with the power cable extending toward the tow vehicle so the internal inertia sensor can function properly. Some drilling may be required.

Once the power module is mounted on your trailer, plug the connector on the unit direcly into your vehicle's 7-way. The standard 7-way connector on the trailer plugs into the port on the back of the RF unit. Then simply sync up the handheld remote to the module as per the included instructions. Finally, plug the remote into any 12-volt auxiliary outlet in your tow vehicle for power.

Installation Accessories

See etrailer.com's exclusive 7-way upgrade kit for brake controller installation (ETBC7L - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Proportional Braking

The Prodigy RF brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. Using an internal inertia sensor, this brake controller will sense how your tow vehicle brakes. It will then send out enough power to your trailer brakes so that they are activated with an intensity that matches. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup, saving wear and tear on the tires and brakes of your trailer. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (57 Customer Reviews)

Order: Wireless brake controller mounts on your trailer to keep your cab clutter-free. Keep towing simple and convenient with a handheld, Bluetooth remote control. Nothing installs in your vehicle, so you can tow with any truck that has a 7-way.

Packaging arrived distorted and bound together with tape. I have not had an opportunity to test the device or to ascertain if there is any damage to the unit, but the shipping packaging was not designed to permit safe and secure shipping. A very bad start to my relationship with your company when you don't secure shipment on a $[XX]+ electronic product. You asked for this review - here it is.

This was easy to install and works great. I drove with the trailer just briefly before connecting this brake controller. What a huge difference. The fact that the head unit is now portable makes this very attractive. I wish I had this before since I just changed vehicles and had to buy a whole new brake controller again.

Comments

I have been using this now for just about a year. I have used it quite frequently with my travel trailer and it has been rock solid. I like how easy it is to adjust the braking force.

Damion - 07/21/2022

by: Todd08/28/2022 One Year Later

Once you get the controller set for your trailer you can not tell the trailer is back there during braking. My old controller either slammed on the brakes or they did not work at all. It is nice to have on that works great. Only complaint is occasionally it loses Bluetooth connection so I just hit the manual button on the side and it reconnects. I would definitely buy this product again.

by: Lyn 03/12/2021

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I had essentially no room around the driver area in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for the standard mounting of a brake controller, so I thought this would be a good solution.
Installation was easy. Our RV company mounted the power module on a transverse chassis beam, completely hidden from view. The remote paired quickly and easily. Once paired you simply plug it in and you're good to go. Easy to change boost. When not towing you can disconnect and stow the remote, so nothing remains in the cabin. Short of having a built-in brake controller, this is an excellent solution.

Comments

Still very pleased with this product. Continues to work well and easy to use.

The cab connection was loose in the box with the larger controller with no packing. The cab connection should have been in a plastic package by itself, the package was damaged, not sure if the controller is damaged or not.

Thank you for your review. I apologize for the state your package arrived in. Have you gotten the chance to test the item yet to see if it is in working order?

Yes, I did, thank you. I have not driven the truck and trailer yet, however it did pair properly on Sunday.

The perfect solution to having two existing trailers and a brand-new tow vehicle with sophisticated electronics and no clue where to begin wiring in my old in-vehicle controller box. This product works like a dream! There are only four bolts to move it between trailers or to remove it for security or storage out of the weather.

by: David 10/01/2022

Great product! This the second Prodigy Controller I've bought....use on my travel trailer.

by: Rick 08/22/2022

The sales rep was extremely helpful (and knowledgeable) about what I needed regarding a wireless brake controller. It took only 2 days to be delivered to my door. Great service and price.

I never used this item and returned it. I received my refund and I rate etrailer a 5 excellent for all the items I have purchased so far.

by: Diane 10/02/2022

Worked perfectly and really appreciated the help from eTrailer!

by: Judi 04/19/2021

This is a great product. The installation was quick -- it took almost as long to unpack the box as it did to install. Directions were complete and easy to follow. I love that the remote controlling unit can store out of sight so this doesn't change the look of my vehicle's interior.

Still very happy with this. No issues at all.

easy to install, blue tooth a little unstable. works well for my load. Used on a 2022 Volvo XC90 recharge.

by: Michael02/03/2022 One Year Later

Had it for about a year and have used it about a dozen times hauling my 33 foot camper trailer. I like the convenience of not having to wire something into my truck. works really well once you get it dialed in right. would recommend to anyone needing a brake controller but not wanting to go the hardwired route.

by: Adelaide02/07/2022 One Year Later

Dealership was going to charge me $1k for a wired one with installation. So this was a bargain in comparison.

I'm a non-handy person, and managed to get this installed, up and running in about 30 minutes (drilling holes into the hitch took most of that time). The remote paired on the first try. Have towed about 20k miles with it since then, including over Big Horn NF's ridiculous grades, and it has been perfect.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I received my order from etrailer.com within a few days which was great enough. Then during my installation of the product (etrailer had a great installation video as well) I discovered that a small component that contained some adhesive pads were damaged and I mentioned that to Courtney when she emailed and checked with me on the order. She was able to arrange for the manufacturer to resend that part free of charge to me. Thank you Courtney, you and etrailer got it going on! Great service.

by: Matt 09/15/2022

Boss loved it. The whole fleet can now tow the trailer.

by: Steve P03/01/2022

I never give 5 stars to anything, because everything can be improved. This brake controller may seem expensive, but not when you consider you can install it yourself and not pay someone else a lot of money. Also, you can take it with you if and when you get a new vehicle. It works very well. etrailer.com shipped it fast and it got here faster than what the tracking said.

I have purchased several things from etrailer.com and their customer support has been very helpful and they are very competitive.

by: Jeff 08/16/2022 One Year Later

Super easy to install and use on multiple vehicles. I won’t be bolting to my dash boards for a while.

by: John B01/09/2022 One Year Later

This device works as designed. I would highly recommend it for those who need a Bluetooth brake controller for your trailer. This is an excellent one to select.

by: Rich04/01/2022 One Year Later

My RV came with the Tenoska Prodigy already installed, so I returned this unit to etrailer. They promptly gave me a refund.

by: Larry12/23/2021 One Year Later

I purchased this unit for my motorhome and it will not work on anything over 20’ long I even contacted the manufacturer. And they worked with me on this for 3 months and finally they refunded me my money, so anyone owning a motorhome do not use this item, ment for pickup trucks etc.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Brake Controller?

Operation of Pairing Procedure for Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller
The only time you should have to re-pair is RF Brake Controller would be when you wanted to put it on another vehicle. The RF controller should be able to be paired with a trailer and stay paired once set. I have heard of some cases of having to re-pair after long periods between uses and vehicles with LED tail lights may not supply enough voltage for pairing. But you shouldn't have to re-pair each time you unhook and hook up.

Operation of Prodigy RF Brake Controller with Trailer Lights and Vehciles with In-Cab Controllers
You are correct that the wiring for the lights will pass through the Tekonsha Prodigy RF # TK94FR. The 7-way blade-style connector on the trailer will plug into the Prodigy RF and the connector on the Prodigy RF will connect to the vehicle's 7-way blade-style socket. The best solution for when the tow vehicle already has a brake controller is to bypass the Prodigy RF completely by simply plugging the trailer's connector into the tow vehicle, as you would if the Prodigy RF were not on the...

Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work on a Chevy Silverado
The Tekonsha Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR does not usually have any problems pairing with domestic trucks (Ford, Chevy, Dodge) that have a functioning 7-Way trailer connector. The problem usually is found with European automakers, particularly German vehicles. As you said the RF plugs into the truck's 7-Way connector. The trailer plugs into the back of the RF unit. There is a vehicle side 7-Way mounted on the back of the RF. The lighting functions pass through the RF to the trailer...

What Powers the Prodigy RF Brake Controller
The power for the Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR that you referenced is powered from the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way on the tow vehicle. The brake output circuit would not be used at all on the vehicle 7-way. This will be the 1:00 pin on the 7-way of your vehicle as you look into the face of the connector.

Can Prodigy RF Brake Controller Be Paired Without A Trailer Connected
You can start the pairing process for the # TK94FR with the trailer disconnected, but it will need to be connected to finish the pairing. This is the procedure you need to follow to complete the pairing. Connect the RF unit to the tow vehicle, but do not plug the trailer into the RF unit. Then, plug the hand held remote into the 12 volt power port (cigarette lighter). Next, turn the gain to minimum by rolling the power wheel towards the cord of the hand held.

Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller Flashing N.C. When Trailer Re-Hitched
Based on my research, a "n.c." display that flashes continuously on the Tekonsha Prodigy RF # TK94FR most commonly indicates that there is no power to the controller's Power Module. I recommend testing your vehicle's trailer connector with a circuit tester, like # 40376, to ensure that there is power at the socket. On your vehicle's trailer socket, the 12V power pin should be located in the 1 o'clock position. If there is no power reaching the trailer socket, you will want to check the...

The Prodigy RF part # TK94FR draw it's power from the 12 volt accessory circuit pin on it's 7-way. Powering if off of a battery isn't a great idea because if the battery goes dead on the trailer, no brakes. That should be enough of a deterrent considering what could happen if suddenly you had no trailer brakes! Also, as the power decreases on the trailer battery the brakes will fade and should the breakaway need to be activated there may not be enough power to stop the runaway trailer. The...

Does the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Have to be Paired Every Time After the Trailer is Disconnected
With the Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR you will not have to pair the unit every time you disconnect from the trailer. If the separation is long enough, like for down time between towing seasons, then you would likely have to re-pair the unit. But not after a day or even a week.

Will 2016 Toyota Tundra Factory Brake Controller Work with Prodigy RF Installed on Trailer
The easiest thing to do would be to plug your trailer directly into the 7-Way on your 2016 Toyota Tundra effectively bypassing the Prodigy RF # TK94FR. That way there will be no interference with the RF.

Does the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Use Electric Brake Circuit on Vehicle Side 7-Way Connector
If you are using the Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR then it only uses the 12 volt circuit and the brake light/turn signal circuits on the vehicle side 7-Way. There should not be power on the brake output circuit on the vehicle side 7-Way because you aren't using an in-cab brake controller.

Can the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Pair with Vehicles or Trailers with LED Taillights
It is possible that vehicles with LED taillights may not supply enough voltage for pairing the Tekonsha Prodigy RF # TK94FR. LED lights on the trailer will pose no issue to the Prodigy RF. Typically the pairing issues seen with the Prodigy RF are when the tow vehicle is made by a European vehicle manufacturer. Sometimes these vehicles are desinged to send signals through the trailer connector, for Lamp Out or Trailer Detection, that can interfere with pairing the Prodigy RF. We do not...

Can a Prodigy RF Brake Controller Be Towed By Vehicle with Hardwired Brake Controller
Yes, you can tow a trailer equipped with a Prodigy RF part # TK94FR with a vehicle that has a brake controller installed in it already. If you wanted to use the hardwired controller you would need to bypass the RF on the trailer by unplugging the 7-way from the trailer to the RF and then running that 7-way straight to your tow vehicle.

Troubleshooting Prodigy RF Brake Controller that Does Not Show Trailer Connection
Check the 7-way on the trailer. I would be willing to bet there is corrosion present on the connector that needs to be cleaned off to allow the controller to send power to the trailer brakes. The RF part # TK94FR is wireless in how it connects to the tow vehicle so it would not be the fault of the truck.

Will Prodigy RF Work with Motorhome with Air Brakes and Range of Operation
As long as you have a 7-way at the rear of your motorhome that has active turn signal/stoplight circuits and has a 12 volt accessory circuit as well the part # TK94FR will work regardless of the brake setup of the motorhome. The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR has a 300 foot range so the 40 foot you listed would not be a problem. I attached an install video for this controller for you to check out as well.

Operation of Prodigy RF System on 2015 Chevy Silverado with Factory Integrated Brake Controller
To use the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR on your truck with the factory integrated brake controller, you have a couple of options. You can disable the ITBC as stated so that your brake controller won't have an error, or you can simply cover that 5 o'clock pin on your trailer connection on the back of your truck with some electrical tape to make sure there is no draw on that pin. As long as there is no draw on that pin, which you don't need for the wireless...

Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work with a 2017 Volvo XC90
The only thing that the Prodigy RF # TK94FR needs to function properly is a functioning 7-Way connector on the tow vehicle. We have had customers use this controller with various model Volvos successfully. Every once in a while someone will have a problem pairing the handheld part with the main unit on the trailer. But there are ways to fix those issues so rest assured that if you do have a problem it can be resolved fairly easily.

Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work with a 2018 Toyota Tundra with Factory Brake Controller
The Prodigy RF # TK94FR will get the power it needs through the 12 volt circuit in the 7-Way trailer connector on your 2018 Toyota Tundra. As long as 12 volt circuit and left and right turn signal/brake light circuits on the 7-Way work the Prodigy RF will work! However you may need to put some electrical tape around the pin in the 5 o'clock position on the truck's 7-Way (if looking at the face of it) if the factory brake controller causes any interference with the RF or vice versa.

Prodigy RF Brake Controller Right Turn Signal Circuit Not Functioning
Most likely theres just a bit of corrosion or a bent pin on the 7-way connections of your Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR. I'd recommend checking the pins of the setup looking for corrosion or bent pins and fixing as needed. The right turn signal/stop circuit is in the 3:00 pin location.

Recommended Brake Controller for Travel Trailer when Dash Mounted Brake Controller is Not Available
For your travel trailer, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR. This brake controller installs to your trailer and not your vehicle dash so you can have a proportional brake controller on your trailer and utilize the handheld remote that simply needs the 12V power connection on your dash to work. As long as your tow vehicle has a 7-way with 12V power, it doesn't need to have a brake controller connection to use this controller. It will capture...

Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Pairing Troubleshooting
The Prodigy RF # TK94FR is a great wireless brake controller but if the pairing instructions are not followed exactly, the unit will not pair as you are experiencing. The biggest mistake folks typically make is to begin the process with the trailer plugged into the RF unit. Here is a run-down of the pairing procedure: Connect the RF unit to the tow vehicle, but do not plug the trailer into the RF unit and start the vehicle. Then, plug the hand held remote into the 12 volt power port....
