This proportional brake controller is designed to keep towing simple. Includes an LED braking indicator, a slide-bar manual override, and a knob to adjust braking power. Mounts easily within a 90-degree vertical range.
Features:
Specs:
Once the brake controller is installed, you can use the knob on the right side of the unit to adjust the gain (also known as output). Gain lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. You want to set it as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Typically, this setting is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if you switch over from a heavy, loaded trailer to a much lighter, empty trailer, or vice versa.
You can fine-tune the gain by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor using the knob on the left side. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. 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. A high sensitivity level will get the braking power to your trailer brakes faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward.
LED Indicator
Keeping with its simple design, the Voyager will not overwhelm you with information. An LED indicator on the top of the unit lights up green to show that your trailer is securely connected to your tow vehicle. The LED indicator will change to red when the brakes on your trailer are activated.
During installation and setup, this light is also used to ensure that the Voyager will be able to function correctly. Proper leveling of the internal sensor is crucial to the operation of this brake controller. When the sensor is level, the LED will change to a shade of orange.
The Voyager is designed to be mounted in your cab at a vertical angle that is between -20 degrees and 70 degrees. The brake controller needs to be horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel in order to function properly.
To connect the Voyager, hardwire the included harness to your vehicle. For a plug-and-play installation, a vehicle-specific wiring adapter is available for select vehicles. One end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end plugs into the controller - no hardwiring required.
Once the controller is mounted and connected, you must level the internal sensor. First, set the overall power to the maximum using the knob on the side of the controller. Then, while pressing the tow vehicle's brake pedal, adjust the level knob on the other side of the brake controller (this is the same knob that is used to fine-tune the power output) until the LED monitor is a shade of orange.

The Tekonsha Voyager 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. 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 uses a pendulum system 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.

Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness behind your vehicle's dash.
Features:
This adapter plugs into the connector behind your vehicle's dashboard. To reach the connector, first locate the notch in the access panel in the center of the dash, near the passenger side. Using a trim panel puller, carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. You will find the mating connector behind this portion of your dashboard.
To install your electric brake controller you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein these wires are run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Often, a brake controller wiring harness is included with your tow package. This harness plugs into a port beneath your dash and connects to the four wires of the brake controller. If, however, you have a brake controller with a plug in place of the four loose wires, you can use the Tekonsha adapter.
This adapter requires no hardwiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

It is the easiest unit to adjust that I have ever owned. The controls are easy to adjust and it has worked well with my trailers.
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.
etrailer makes the purchase easy. I have always used Tekonsha Voyagers, and on my new truck (2015 Silverado) I also wanted the convenience of having the plug and play wiring harness. etrailer had exactly what I needed and was very easy to find on the website. Installation was flawless and clean thanks to the good hardware supplied. Very excited to put some trailers behind the truck with the stopping power confidence that comes with the Voyager.
The Tekonsha Voyager trailer brake controller works well in my 99 Silverado 1500, which was easy to setup for my trailer. The option to allow for different settings of aggression for the trailer braking has allowed the stopping with different loads to be graceful with the turn of a knob. Decided to install the controller in CD storage with velcro for a nice look. Easy access when in place during use for easy observation and twicking during operation. The wife can assist with the twicking while I am driving. Excellent product!
This is a replacement for the one I ordered incorrectly. Customer service was great, but I had to pay shipping costs. I recommend you get active help when ordering these items so you get it right the first time. Plug and play worked great when installed.

After a year, the brake controller still works fine. No problems so far.
Completely plug and play installation and works flawlessly, very happy with this unit. I also ordered the exact harness for my 2005 f150 with tow package. Here are a couple of hints that may be helpful. My installation also required a 30 amp cartridge fuse to be installed in the fuse panel in location #105(electric trailer brakes) under the dash on the passenger side. I also installed a relay in location r05 (trailer tow battery charge) but I don't think this is needed for the controller to function. I still had the original trailer brake kit and it had the additional fuse panel instructions and the relay. The owners manual showed where the 30 amp fuse and relay plugs in. You cannot test this unit until a trailer with brakes is connected, ie the led will not light up until it senses a brake circuit.
My factory 2011 F350 integrated brake controller want recognizing any of our trailers, after cleaning and greasing connectors and chasing wires. I just installed the Tekonsha P3 with Ford factory harness. It took all of ten minutes as I already knew where I wanted it placed. I plugged the trailer and was instantly recognized. Super quick and easy. I mounted it on the drop down cup holder; easy to see and use the controller and it doesn’t interfere with the cup holders when in use.
I purchased this harness for a 2012 Forest River Sunseeker Class C RV.
It has a 2011 Ford E450 Van front. I did some research on etrailer about possible locations of the factory brake controller wiring, and found out exactly where it was.
(Behind the coin holder in the dash).
The hardest part of the whole install was freeing the factory harness from the harness tie down behind the coin holder.
Installed a Prodigy P2 brake controller, hooked up the 3034-P harness, and boom!
Everything works great.
This is my second Tekonsha; I had to replace my 10-year old one after I accidentally broke it.
This one is a bit of an upgrade, and is easily able to lock up the disc brakes on my 15,000 lb trailer. Adjusting it properly, I'm able to brake as though there were no trailer at all. Set it, and forget it. It doesn't get any easier than that.
PlugNPlay Mini Winnie on an E250 chassis. Easier installation if you ignore all the usual instructions messing with the upper dash panel and just pull back the engine cover. Reach up there, pull the connector down, and you're good to go.
Received this yesterday and was able to install it today. Instructions were very easy to follow and the only problem I had installing it was contorting myself to install the bracket. Once I got the bracket in place the rest was a piece of cake. Went for a test drive as the instructions suggested and did have to tweak it a little but it's doing exactly what I expect it to do. I'll be hauling a John Deere Tractor and wanted to make sure the brakes on the trailer worked.
Installed in my 2018 Silverado Custom. I ordered the additional wiring harness and the install took less than thirty minutes. Plug and Play at its simplest. Thank You etrailer.
Great brake controller! I installed this unit in my 2016 Ford F250 4x4 in just over 30 minutes. Of course, I spent a little time (about an hour or so) in advance on the etrailer website researching how to install this controller. After watching a few videos and reading a few detailed reviews I was ready to go. I did order a plastic trim removal tool set on [site] prior to this installation. ** NOTE to etrailer: Think about offering a set of trim removal tools for sale to your customers - very important!**. I figured the $25.00 spent on the trim removal tool set would ensure no damage to the interior of my new truck and I was right. This is my second or third brake controller purchased from etrailer. Fast shipping and great products! Thank you!!

E trailer is an awesome organization. I couldn’t find this part, gave them a call and they sorted me in about 3 minutes. This product worked right away and has not wavered once.
Good quality, easy plug and play.
Hard to adjust. Had tech at rv place adjust still grabby. Should have got more modern controller
Plug it in and voila!
This was an easy install on my 2019 GMC truck using the appropriate wiring adapter. Instructions for setting up the control were clear. After a few adjustments my trailer brakes worked as they should. Minor adjustments of the controller are needed from time to time, but overall the controller is reliable. Good value.
Definitely recommend the product and the customer service was outstanding. Received earlier than estimated and I always new the status.
I called and talked to these people at each trailer customer service was second to none. They got me the right product and it's been working fantastically.
The correct items that fit properly were delivered in a timely manner.
Ordered wiring adapter for 2023 Entegra camper. Plug was correct, but Ford apparently moved some pins. Took a few hours to ID wires on camper and coordinate with wires on brake controller. Installation successful.
We just installed this in our truck and install was fast and easy with adapter cable we ordered. and set up of controller was very simple.
Easy plug right in harness

Works great!
Easy installation and seems to be a great product. I also used the harness for my 07 new body Silverado for a easy install. Videos are a great help as well . I will purchase all of my trailer and RV needs from ETrailer from now on.
