How to Use Tekonsha Voyager iD

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.


How to Install Tekonsha Voyager iD

The Voyager comes in 2 pieces: the main unit and the control knob.


Tekonsha Voyager iD Installed

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.


Tekonsha Voyager iD Plug In Wiring Harness for Vehicle

This kit comes with a vehicle-specific wiring harness that plugs right into the factory port on your vehicle. That means no hardwiring!


You will also need a circuit breaker kit to complete your installation:

  • 20-Amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) for 1 or 2 axles
  • 30-Amp circuit breaker (38630 - sold separately) for 3 axles

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).


Tekonsha Voyager iD Wiring Diagram


What is Proportional Braking?

What is proportional Braking

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.

Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Tekonsha 00:00:03 custom wire and adapter for trailer brake controllers. This product is going to fit certain years of the Toyota Forerunner. The plugin wire and adapter allows for quick, simple installation of your electric trailer brake controller. The wire and harness is going to measure overall about thirty inches long. It does not require you to cut or splice any wires for the installation. The custom connector end right here is going to plug into the built in port in your vehicle.

The included instructions, they are going to be very detailed. These are going to walk you through the installation process step by step and they're going to show you exactly where that port is. The plugs are going to plug into one another for a nice, tight, secure fit. They are going to snap lock together. The white wire on this unit is going to be your grounding wire. It's got a ring terminal already attached to the end of it.

You need to find a nice, clean metal surface to secure it to, and you can secure it with the self tightening screw. The other end is going to plug into the back of your electric brake controller. This is designed to be compatible with proportional brake controllers from Tekonsha, so it should just plug right in. Again, its got the locking tab up top so it's going to allow for a nice, tight, secure fit. The brake controller must have the built in plug for the adapter to connect.

This will not work on controllers with pig tail 00:01:16 wiring harnesses. After you plug in the connectors it will be fully installed and after you make the ground connection.One of the neat things about this is it's going to have a protective mesh that covers up the wires, so it keeps the wires all bundled together for a nice installation. It also eliminates wires from hanging down around your feet. Now because there are no wires to connect to the brake controller the installation is not permanent. What that means is that you can unplug and remove your brake controller at anytime to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away. That's going to do it for our review of the Tekonsha custom wire and adapter for trailer brake controllers..

Easy install simple setup

Everything worked as it should! Very happy with the look as well



by:

Works good



by:

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.



by:

Good product very easy to install.I recommend to buy the plastic insert for the switch since the blank in the truck didn’t have a flat backing to drill a hole for the knob



by:

Works great. custom harness makes it plug and play!



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

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.



by:

Plugged directly into the connector provide by the tow package on my 2019 4-Runner. Every thing lit up like it suppose to on the trailer break controller.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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



by:

I haven't used it though I did install it yesterday. It came on line the way it should have. Ask me again in another week or so after I get the chance to test drive.



by:

This was long enough to route across from the emergency brake to the center console. Grounded white wire to a bolt under the dash with a 10mm nut. Easy



by:

After 1 year of flawless use I am very pleased with this wiring harness for my 2016 Toyota 4Runner. The installation was super simple and easy; plug and play. I would definitely purchase again for another vehicle.



by:

Plug and play! I've had the same brake controller on several vehicles...get the correct harnest for your vehicle and easy peezy! Advice: Plan on how you're going to route your wire harnest first before mounting brackets.



by:

Added this to my 4Runner to pull my motorcycle trailer. Easy to install works as expected. Very happy with product and etrailer, they will get my future business.

    Hey Josh! The Tekonsha Voyager iD Brake Controller # TK26BR comes with a universal wiring harness.

To choose the right weight distribution it will be based on loaded tongue weight which is typically between 10-15% of the trailer gross weight and anything in addition to that loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Harness for a 2016 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Tow Package
    Since your 2016 Toyota 4Runner already has the factory tow package and trailer connector then adding a brake controller will be easy. I recommend the Tekonsha P3 brake controller # 90195 because it has multiple presets for towing different trailers, a boost feature, works with electric over hydraulic and electric braking systems, and has easy to understand diagnostic messages. The only other part you will need is wiring harness # 3041-P to plug it directly into your 4Runner. I have linked...

  • Brake Switch Wire to Connect Brake Control on 2010 Ford Escape and 2015 Toyota 4Runner
    On your 2010 Ford Escape the brake switch wire you will need is a purple wire with a white stripe. This is the wire that connects to the red brake controller wire.

For a Tekonsha brake controller use # 3041-P....
