Comparing the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller and Prodigy P2
Question:
What is the difference between the prodigy P2 and the original prodigy brake controller?
asked by: Larry J
Expert Reply:
There are 3 big differences between the Prodigy and the Prodigy P2, # 90885, brake controllers. The most notable difference is the LED display is blue on the P2 where as it is red on the Prodigy. The second difference is that the P2 can be mounted at any angle, a full 360 degrees, whereas the Prodigy needs to be between level and 70 degrees nose up. The third big difference is that the P2 can be used with electric over hydraulic systems. A couple minor changes include some inherited software and technology from the Tekonsha P3, their top-of-the-line controller. The P2 also offers reverse battery protection.
I am including links to the installation instructions for both models, as well as some information on brake controllers in general for reference.

Will the Prodigy 2 have the same electrical plugs and fit in the original Prodigy bracket ?
