Best Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for Vehicle with Knee Air Bags like Grand Cherokee

Updated 06/21/2018 | Published 06/19/2018

Question:

I want to mount Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional Item # 39510 as shown in your video for the product on my 2018 Grand Cherokee but there is a knee air bag. Which way does the airbag door open and will the controller be in the way?

For vehicles with lower knee area air bags the best brake controller solution is the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # 331-EBRH-ACCV2 as it does not install like a traditional brake controller which prevents air bag issues. The brain of the controller mounts out of sight and then you install a small knob on an interior panel where convenient like in the picture I attached. The correct harness for this controller to install in your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee would then be the part # 3045-S.

I attached an install video for this controller in a similar 2014 Grand Cherokee as yours as well.
