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 into the electric junction box 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 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 we're going to be installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, part number 90195. In addition to the brake controller we're also going to be using the Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter for electric brake controllers for GM vehicles, part number 3015-P. Now here's what our P3 brake controller looks like. We get a couple different options for mounting it. We can use the standard metal bracket style or we can use the metal and plastic combination. This one here will allows you to remove the brake controller when you're not using it, but because it is out of plastic it is not quite as durable as our metal one here. Now this particular vehicle here is a work truck so we're going to go ahead and install the metal bracket to give us a little better chances of the brake controller staying connected onto the lower dash where we'll be putting it. Now that we've gone over the parts of the brake controller, here's the wiring harness that we're going to be using.
We're going to go ahead and get our brake controller mounted up, and then we'll make our wiring connections. Now here on the dash there's already a couple holes, as this vehicle has already had a brake controller installed previously, so instead of drilling some new ones we're going to go ahead and utilize those holes. Now that we have our bracket mounted we'll go ahead and take the wiring harness, plug it into the back of the brake controller. You'll notice here's a locking tab, lines up with this little tab right here built in on the brake controller. Want to make sure you hear it click. Next we'll go ahead and we're going to mount the brake controller, selecting one of the four options.
We're going to choose to mount it a little bit closer to the dash. We'll use one of these two holes. We'll be using the machine screw and threading it into the hole here, as well as on the other side right here. Next we're going to need to gain access to the fuse block or the electrical connections underneath this plastic cover. We'll need to remove this plastic nut right here and then lift the cover out of the way. Now once you have the cover removed, when you flip it over there's a diagram on the backside.
We're looking for this connector right here. As we're looking at it, it matches up with exactly what's up there so we'll look for the second one over from the left on the top, so this port right here. Next we'll need to route our wiring harness over to our fuse panel area. When you line up the plug you want to make sure the locking tab is on the top side and plug it in. You want to make sure you hear it click. Next we can go ahead and put our cover back in place.
With our cover back in place we'll go ahead and use a few zip ties to help secure any loose wiring. We can then go ahead and trim off any excess zip tie. Now we have all of our connections made. Go ahead and pull the manual override. You'll notice without our trailer connected it says no trailer connected. Now we'll go ahead and plug the trailer in. Now with our trailer connected and you do the manual overhead, see we get our reading. There's three different boost levels: one, two, and three, as well as off. The higher the level of boost the more aggressive the brakes will be applied. These two buttons here are what adjusts the maximum power setting. There's the down and there's the up, as well as several other functions. This button here on the lower right allows you to go into the setup screen, where you can do and adjust several other functions of the brake controller. With that, that will do it for the installation of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, part number 90195, in conjunction with the Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter for electric brake controllers for GM vehicles, part number 3015-P, on our 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. .
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.
