Video Transcript for Review of Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller Replacement Handheld Remote - TK27FR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Tekonsha Replacement Prodigy RF Brake Controller Handheld Remote. This is gonna replace a lost or damaged remote for your Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller with the part number that you see on the screen there. So this is going to replace a lost or damaged option or it can be used to add a brake controller to your other vehicles if you're gonna be towing the same trailer with multiple vehicles, such as like for a business fleet or something along those lines. You can have, instead of having to move the controllers from one vehicle to the other, you can leave the controllers in there and just pair them to the trailer each time you need to pull it. This is going to control the power module from your cab for your manual trailer braking.

So it is going to allow you to make sure you're getting the most outta your trailer's brakes. This does have a Bluetooth connection. So it will pair between the unit and your trailer's power module. And because of that, it is only going to work for the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controllers that are manufactured after 2019. That's when they started putting that Bluetooth connection in there.

So if you're needing a controller for the, the models prior to 2019 this will not work for you. But this will function just like the original one that came with your Prodigy. You're gonna plug it right into your 12 volt power adapter so no under dash wiring is gonna be required. And then you've got the LED display here that's gonna show your brake voltage, power output and diagnostics. You've got your manual trigger here, your boost button up here and your power dial on the side there so it's gonna function just like the original.

So, no learning curve to relearn or anything like that. So if you are needing to replace it or add an additional one to your fleet, this is gonna work great for you. Do a great job of allowing you to control those brakes. So that concludes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com.

Thanks for watching..

This product is being falsely advertised. Because the manufacturer changed to Bluetooth last year, this cannot be used as a replacement for any prodigy unit older than some time in 2019. I paid rush shipping to get this in time for our trip and it was useless.

Thank you for your review. It says in the description that this is a replacement for the Tekonsha Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR. This will not work on older models with no blue tooth technology.

This product was a replacement for the Techonsha Prodigy braking system for our trailer; the original one got stolen by a dumb thief.
E- Trailer was easy to work with, everything went smoothly from ordering and the correspondence throughout the process of where the product was up until the day it arrived in my mail box, you always new where it was. I am a perfectly satisfied customer.

  • Troubleshooting Tekonsha Prodigy RF Not Pairing on 2013 Viking Travel Trailer
    After the countdown is it showing c.E. again? If so, check your 7-way to make sure you have constant 12V power running to the unit. Assuming you have 12V power here the Tekonsha Prodigy RF will have power as well. If you're worried about it you could also test the 7-way for power on the unit itself where you plug the trailer in. If you're getting a different readout on the display it is possible something else is wrong, but I would need the error code to troubleshoot that. Assuming you...

  • Using Electric Trailer Brake Controller and Tuson Electronic Sway Control Simultaneously
    If you have a trailer that requires brakes and sway control it is wise to additionally use a brake controller as the electronic sway controller is not a brake controller so it won't apply brakes unless there is sway. When using the Tuson Electronic Sway Control System for Electric Trailer Brakes # 335TSC-1000 the use of an aftermarket brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is not only possible but necessary. If you are looking for a brake controller that does not require a separate...

  • Prodigy RF Hand Held Unit Does Not Power On
    The plug that plugs into the 12 volt outlet in the vehicle has a small fuse in it. You will need to take apart the plug to get to the fuse. If that fuse is bad, that is the problem. You should be able to find a replacement at a local auto parts store. To check to see if it is the fuse before taking the plug apart, you can try plugging it into another vehicle. If you replace the fuse and it still does not work or if it does not work on another vehicle, replacement hand held units are available,...

    It looks like you have the original version of the Prodigy RF, part 902501, which was updated to the newer version of the Prodigy RF TK94FR (also known as part 902502). The replacement controller # TK27FR you're looking at is for the newer model which uses a Bluetooth connection whereas the older version did not. If you can find a controller for the older model then definitely go for it. Otherwise you'll need to swap out your controller to the newer version, part # TK94FR, or a different...

  • Theft Deterrent Recommendation for Prodigy RF Brake Controller # TK94FR
    The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR uses regular hex head bolts to secure it to a trailer though you could use different bolts if you wanted to. A hardware store would have a nice selection of bolts that require uncommon tools to install or remove. The Prodigy RF # TK94FR won't work without its handheld unit. And if someone wanted to try to buy a new handheld unit the cost is not as low as they might think, # TK27FR. They would have to know that though before attempting to steal it...

  • Replacement Handheld Remote for Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller
    Hello! Sorry but the only option for a replacement remote for the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller is the Replacement Handheld Remote item # TK27FR you were looking at. The only solution I have for an easier interface is for you to upgrade to the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180, which also plugs into your 7-way connector but can be controlled by an app on your phone.

  • Converting 4-Flat to 7-Way on 2005 Toyota Sienna to Use Prodigy RF Trailer Mounted Brake Controller
    If you elect to go with the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, item # TK27FR, on your trailer, instead of installing a brake controller in the cab of your 2005 Toyota Sienna, you will not need all of the items and wiring in the Electronic Brake Controller Wiring Kit, # ETBC7. For the Prodigy RF to function properly all that is needed is the constant 12 volt power supply from the vehicle battery. You would need the following items: # 37185 7-Way and 4-Way adapter, plugs into your existing...

  • How to Install Prodigy RF Brake Controller in 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk w/4-Way
    You can use a 4-way to 7-way adapter like the part # 37185 to install a Prodigy RF part # TK27FR but you have to connect the black wire of the # 37185 up to the positive post of the vehicle battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9510. Once you do that the RF will be active and ready to go. No other wires would be needed to be ran.

  • Will the Tekonsha Prodigy RF # TK94FR Trailer Brake Controller Work on a 2007 BMW X3
    For your 2007 BMW X3, the Tekonsha Prodigy RF, # TK94FR, would be a great choice because it does not involve taping into the vehicle wiring. Instead, this unit plugs into the 7-Way trailer connector and your trailer connector would then plug into the RF. It uses the power provided from the 7-Way to apply the electric trailer brakes. It has a built-in accelerometer that senses how hard or soft the vehicle is braking and applies the trailer brakes accordingly. The hand-held module that...

  • How to Install the Brake Controller Kit # ETBC7 with Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller # TK27FR
    The difference in the installation of the Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7, when using it with the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, part # TK27FR, on your 2006 Volvo XC70 is that you will not need to connect the blue wire that is normally hardwired to the brake controller. It will not be needed since the Prodigy RF will communicate with the remote unit by radio frequencies. Also, since your vehicles battery is in the rear the wiring will not need to go the...

  • Can an Electric Brake Controller be Used on a 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
    I spoke with my contact at Prodigy and he said that you should be able to install a Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller - Proportional, part # 90195, onto your 2011 Highlander Hybrid. He said that according to his wiring diagrams, there is a blue wire behind the brake pedal that you will use as the brake switch wire. This will attach to the red wire on the harness of the # 90195. However, he recommended that you use a multimeter like the 7-Function Digital Multimeter, part # PT89ZR,...

  • Recommendations for a Brake Controller That Will Work With Three Different Trailers
    If you plan on towing three different trailers with one vehicle, I recommend the use of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195. This proportional controller includes a customizable LCD display and five storable settings for use with multiple trailers or different drivers. One of the main benefits of the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, # TK94FR, is that it can be installed on one trailer and towed by multiple cars or trucks that are equipped with a working 7-way...

  • Can Multiple Remotes be Paired to Prodigy RF Brake Controller TK94FR
    Yes, as long as the remote that you currently have came from a Prodigy RF unit, then you can pair any Prodigy RF remote with any Prodigy RF power unit. You will simply need to start the pairing process over again with the new remote. I have attached the installation instructions that explains how to pair the remote with the power unit. For an additional remote you'd want part # TK27FR.
