Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work with a 2018 Toyota Tundra with Factory Brake Controller

Question

Question:

I want to replace my faulty integrated brake controller in a 2018 Tundra with P3. But since there is no available wiring harness for the P3 this RF brake controller is my next option. Besides buying this unit, what else do I need to be able to this it? It says I need a 12 volt power for the box. Does connecting unit to the Tundra 7 way/pin connector provide the 12 volt power it needed?

The Prodigy RF # TK94FR will get the power it needs through the 12 volt circuit in the 7-Way trailer connector on your 2018 Toyota Tundra. As long as 12 volt circuit and left and right turn signal/brake light circuits on the 7-Way work the Prodigy RF will work!

However you may need to put some electrical tape around the pin in the 5 o'clock position on the truck's 7-Way (if looking at the face of it) if the factory brake controller causes any interference with the RF or vice versa.

Answer 1

The easiest thing to do would be to plug your trailer directly into the 7-Way on your 2016 Toyota Tundra effectively bypassing the Prodigy RF #TK94FR. That way there will be no interference with the RF.

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

If you just need a 4-pin to 7-pin trailer wiring adapter, then you can use part #C57672. This will plug into the 4-pin trailer connector on your brother's vehicle and give him the 7-pin socket for the trailer. Keep in mind, this will only give…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Sure, I can help with that. I can see why the fitment notes are confusing. For a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package and factory 7 way connector, you'll want a brake controller that plugs into the factory brake controller port under…
