This pocket bracket can be used to mount the Prodigy or Prodigy P2 brake controller in another vehicle or to replace a lost or damaged mount.by: Richard 09/06/2023
now that i have this 4 way and 7 way plug i can tow anything. It makes my vehicle more versatile.
by: Leo 09/13/2023
Forgot to remove this from the old truck so needed to order a new one for the new truck. Exactly as expected and great service as usual from Etrailer.
by: Tom V07/01/2015
The extra mounting pocket makes the unit transportable from vehicle to vehicle. I have multiple tow vehicles. It saves the cost of having a controller in each vehicle. Simply unplug and pop out of the pocket and pop in other vehicle. This way your using a controller that your used to and it's functions. Great product

Having an extra pocket mount allows me to move my Prodigy from one tow vehicle to another.
by: Ron M06/12/2017
A great way to expand the use of your brake controller if you plan on using it in only one vehicle at a time. Saved a lot of money over purchasing a second unit.
by: Phyllis 06/24/2023
Well packed, delivered on time and exactly as pictured. Thanks!
by: David03/25/2014
I purchased this mounting pocket for holding the Tekonsha P2 brake controller in a second tow vehicle, as the controller is easily transferred between vehicles. I have installed the pocket and used the trailer brake controller now in the second vehicle. It works just like the one in the first vehicle!
by: Nick12/06/2022
installation was easy, I have never used it, but I have it just in case

Easy install with the factory wiring for easy installation of the brake controller in the Flex.

As advertised! Always spot on guys…

The product is excellent but etrailer is AWSOME. I have been a customer for years-trailer itches, wiring packages etc. the ordering is flawless, shipping and packaging is excellent and the tutorials are well done and helpful.

A year later and all is working well. ETRAILER IS GREAT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
by: Dan D.01/02/2017
The items I ordered were delivered promptly and were exactly as ordered. In addition, installation instructions were included and the instructions were more detailed than I was able to find from any other source.
I purchased a new pickup truck that came equipped with a tow package. I tow a two horse trailer with electric brakes. Since the truck manufacturer doesn't know what kind of trailer you have, the vehicle wasn't equipped with an inertia brake controller.
It does have the input plug, however. So I had to get a mounting bracket and attachment cable so I could move my controller from my old vehicle to my new one.
I simply ordered a mounting bracket and cable and these items arrived a few days ago.
I will be installing them soon. So, I'm satisfied with the service from etrailer.
by: Gerry01/16/2017
Holder worked just as it should. It took a few minutes to decide just where to mount it as I wanted to be sure I would not have to move it. I am particular about my truck. It is a 2006 sierra that I don't ever plan to replace. So I don't want any extra holes. Etrailer is the best. If I ever need anything else trailer related I definitely know where to go. I tell all my friends I also bought a wiring harness for my wife's pathfinder. It worked perfectly. Nissan makes it very difficult to find the plug-in, but that is another story.
by: Frank D.09/27/2017
Pretty straight forward purchase of an accessory for my Prodigy brake booster. But, as usual, etrailer had just what I needed. These mounting pockets give your installation a nice clean look, and with the wiring harness exiting out the back, it's easy to keep it out of sight and out of the way. I bought this one so that I can easily move my brake booster between either of my two F250's. One suggestion. Check your manual before you order coming make sure that you have a suitable place to mount this product. There are specific limits for angle and tilt beyond which your Prodigy booster will not work.
by: bowtieollie04/18/2017
Excellent quality and strength. Why skimp on something as important as your hitch? I have purchased three of these Draw Tites - I guess a repeat customer will scream about the true quality a company can garner from repeat customers. When you pull show cars worth six figures, you can't afford a poorly made hitch.
Step up, step out, and don't fret what you are pulling.
by: Gene L06/17/2016
As this order is only for replacement parts lost due to totaling my truck I can only review the service and availability of replacement parts. I found etrailer to be a tremendous asset for such items. I expected to have to buy a complete new brake controller but etrailer had the parts I needed to use my original controller. Saved my a bunch of money and the salesperson understood what I needed and helped me with the order. Very nice person.
by: Todd F03/25/2014
Exact fit for my Prodigy 2 controller. It took us longer to decide on a placement than it did to install it. The pocket I received did not come with mounting screws but that was not a big deal as I was planning on using Phillips bolts with washers and locking nuts for the install.
by: Ronald01/16/2013
There actually is very little to say as the mounting bracket is an OEM product. I needed the mounting bracket because one cold day when the temperature was below zero, I entered my truck and my knee hit the cold bracket and it cracked. It was brittle because of very cold temperatures. It would be much better if the bracket were more tolerant of cold temperatures. With that being said, what is special about etrailer.com is the wide variety of replacement parts. I very much appreciate their vast inventory so the consumer can quickly and with minimal cost, purchase broken or missing parts.
by: Clyde06/28/2020
Product works great. Installation very easy.
etrailer delivery time was a bit extreme. I ordered from etrailer on the recommendation from a friend. It took 7 weeks to receive my brake cable. Upon further research I could have gotten it in 3 days from another dealer. etrailer never called or emailed to explain delivery situation until I contacted them for an update. Product great. Service not so much.
by: MattC09/22/2019
Worked like a charm! Had to remove some of the lower dash to reach the connection, but a video helped with that. Plugged in the pigtail to my brake controller, and viola - brakes, and lights, for my trailer!
by: William V.08/01/2014
I called to ensure that I was actually ordering the right wiring harness for my truck and was going to order online. The guy I spoke with told me online orders were shipping in 48 hours but if I gave him my order, he'd get it out the same day! Got my order very quickly and customer service was great. I will DEFINITELY order from etrailer.com again. Thanks!
by: Guy08/03/2014
I already owned the Tekonsha Prodigy controller so all I needed is new wiring and a mounting bracket. Each item is original and was delivered as promised. It is great to do business with "etrailer.com."
by: Jim10/08/2018
I really like the slide in option for the P2 controller I bought for my truck. Having this option allowed us to set up my wife's Grand Cherokee for the few times we use it to haul the trailer. Just wish it was designed so the connection was made when sliding the controller in instead of having the pull the cable through which looks sloppy when the controller isn't in the Jeep.
by: RB05/10/2011
It holds the brake controller fine but the harness does not stay attached to the pocket when I go to use the brake controller in my other truck, so the harness falls to right where the feet are.There should be a clip that locks harness to pocket holder.other than that is works fine.

- Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha 90885 Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on 2010 Chevy SuburbanIn order to swap the controller back and forth between vehicles, for the 2010 Suburban you will need the # 7894 pigtail and a # 7686 mounting bracket. The pigtail will wire up to the tow package wiring in your Suburban as follows: • Tow package red/black striped wire connects to black pigtail wire • Tow package light blue wire connects to red pigtail wire • Tow package dark blue wire connects to blue pigtail wire • Tow package white wire connects to white pigtail wire I've linked...

If you don't need the extra holder then you will want # 7894. Installation on the 2007 Chevy Express Van with the 7-Way tow package should be easy.

view full answer... - Quick-Release Mount Recommendation for a P3 Brake ControllerThe standard quick-release mount for the P3 # 90195 is the part # TK5906. This would probably be your best option. Actually I checked the reviews for the # 7686 and found a customer who said he attempted to get it to fit a P3 and it did not work. Because of that I would not recommend it for you.
view full answer... - Removing Existing Brake Controller and Installing Tekonsha Prodigy P2 90885 on 2012 Nissan FrontierGood choice going with a proportional controller like the Prodigy P2, part # 90885. A proportional controller uses a built in accelerometer to determine how fast the tow vehicle is braking. It will then send the appropriate amount of voltage to the trailer brakes so the vehicle and trailer brake at the same rate for safe and predictable braking. Although the Curt Venturer is a good piece of equipment, it uses the older time-delayed technology that will always send the same amount of preset...

For a 4 to 6 way adapter you will want the install kit for a 6 way, # ETBC6. You may also need a 4 way. I recommend # 118336.

view full answer... - How Can I Setup a Tekonsha Prodigy to Use on Two VehiclesYou can take the cable that you used with the Nissan Murano and splice in the connector for the Chevy. As long as the Chevy pig tail has the following 4 wires; blue, red, white, and black, you should be able to color match them. I would tape the Murano connector out of the way and put tape over the pin contacts to prevent any shorts. Make sure your splices are secure and taped well. I personally would not use this patched cable from here on out. It will be a handy, temporary fix. When...

We have a video detailing the installation of this harness for you to review. The P2 and the Voyager are wired the same. The white wire is ground, the black wire is power into the brake controller, the red wire is the stoplight switch circuit and the blue wire is the output for the electric...
view full answer... - Will Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Fit Mounting Pocket for Prodigy P2I've never tested it out and while I believe the P3 # 90195 would technically fit in the Mounting Pocket # 7686, the P3 has a slightly different profile than the P2 so it won't fit nearly as well. I recommend just going with the Mounting Bracket Kit # TK5906 that was designed specifically for the P3 so that you know it will fit properly.
view full answer... - Will the Prodigy P3 Fit in the Mounting Pocket for Prodigy and Prodigy 2 Brake Controller?No, I am sorry it will not. We've had a couple reviews of some customers trying to fit the P3 in the Mounting Pocket for Tekonsha Prodigy Proportional Brake Controller item # 7686 and it does not fit. The only mounting bracket that fits the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 item # 90195 is included with the brake controller. If you need another one it is the Replacement Mounting Bracket Kit for Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller item # TK5906.

We've had a previous customer ask a similar question to yours and in doing so we found that the provided brake controller harness for your 2016 Acura MDX with the tow package will require you make a few connections to the supplied wiring harness. If that harness was used to install the brake controller on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland then you can get a new one right here, the part number is # 7894. You will want to wire the # 7894 harness to the factory harness by function....

- Brake Controller that Can Easily be Moved From 2000 to 2006 Chevy SilveradoThe Tekonsha P2, part # 90885 would be ideal for what you are wanting to do.

To accomplish what you are wanting to do, you would need an extra quick disconnect, part # 7894 and a replacement mounting pocket, part # 7686. Once installed, the mounting pocket and quick disconnect would remain in the vehicle, and the controller can be easily moved to the other truck. Keep in mind that...

I believe the tow package on that gen Liberty had the functioning 7-way with the brake output wire ran up front which terminated somewhere near the emergency brake pedal or behind the driver's side kick panel. In some cases, it's under the carpet near where the firewall and kick panel meet. If that's what you've got going on,...

This type of pigtail harness allows hardwired installation in just about any vehicle. You'll also was either a new mounting bracket # P7685 or a pocket mount # 7686.

You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash. I attached an install video and help article that covers how this is done. To install this controller in a 2010 Lexus GX 460 will require the install harness part # 3040-P instead and a second install bracket part # 7686.

I have this pocket currently installed in three vehicles. Although occasionally the connectorharness falls out when not connected, otherwise things work fine. It is just a little difficult to disconnect, but otherwise fine.
