What is the Best Hidden Brake Controller for my 2016 Honda Pilot with Tow Package

Question

Question:

Hi there - I just had a hitch and harness OEM parts installed on my 2016 Honda pilot EXL AWD. I am looking to add a brake controller. Id like to have the switch be over to the left side of the steering wheel that have the extra rectangular buttons so we can integrate the button and its low profile. Which brake controller do you recommend for this?

Using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR and the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3070-S will be the perfect thing for what you want to do.

To ease in the installation the mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob part # 331-TPSI-002 and part # 331-TPSI-007 can allow you to replace the knock out panel with a panel specifically designed for the Red-Arc.
