This proportional brake controller is designed to keep towing simple. Includes an LED braking indicator, a slide-bar manual override, and a knob to adjust braking power. Mounts easily within a 90-degree vertical range.


Features:

  • Brake controller activates trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action
    • Automatically adjusts trailer's braking based on deceleration of tow vehicle
  • Simple controls keep your settings within easy reach
    • Gain setting lets you adjust the amount of power sent to the trailer's brakes
    • Slide-bar manual override allows you to control trailer sway or stop in emergencies
    • Sensitivity knob lets you set initial braking power and aggressiveness for smooth, safe braking
  • Green LED on the top of the module monitors a secure connection with trailer
    • Glows red to indicate that trailer brakes are being activated
  • Quick and easy installation with included bracket and hardware
    • 90-Degree vertical mounting range - must be horizontally level and parallel to direction of travel
    • No need to wire into your vehicle - custom-fit harness lets you plug in and go

  • Application: trailers with up to 4 axles (8 brake assemblies)
    • Compatible with electric brakes only
  • Dimensions: 5" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall
  • Mounting: between -20 degrees and 70 degrees in the vertical plane
  • Warranty:
    • Limited 5-year on brake controller
    • Limited 1-year on wiring harness


Power and Sensitivity Adjustment

Once the brake controller is installed, you can use the knob on the right side of the unit to adjust the gain (also known as output). Gain lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. You want to set it as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Typically, this setting is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if you switch over from a heavy, loaded trailer to a much lighter, empty trailer, or vice versa.


Tekonsha Voyager

You can fine-tune the gain by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor using the knob on the left side. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. You can adjust this when you're towing heavy loads and you need more umph to bring your trailer to a stop. Your tow vehicle doesn't need that much power to brake in time, but your heavy trailer does. A high sensitivity level will get the braking power to your trailer brakes faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward.


LED Indicator

Keeping with its simple design, the Voyager will not overwhelm you with information. An LED indicator on the top of the unit lights up green to show that your trailer is securely connected to your tow vehicle. The LED indicator will change to red when the brakes on your trailer are activated.


During installation and setup, this light is also used to ensure that the Voyager will be able to function correctly. Proper leveling of the internal sensor is crucial to the operation of this brake controller. When the sensor is level, the LED will change to a shade of orange.


Simple Installation

The Voyager is designed to be mounted in your cab at a vertical angle that is between -20 degrees and 70 degrees. The brake controller needs to be horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel in order to function properly.


Correct Voyager mounting90-Degree Voyager mounting

To connect the Voyager, just plug the included harness into your vehicle. The other end plugs into the controller - no hardwiring required.


Once the controller is mounted and connected, you must level the internal sensor. First, set the overall power to the maximum using the knob on the side of the controller. Then, while pressing the tow vehicle's brake pedal, adjust the level knob on the other side of the brake controller (this is the same knob that is used to fine-tune the power output) until the LED monitor is a shade of orange.


Note: If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, take a look at our exclusive 7- and 4-way brake controller installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).


Proportional Braking

What is proportional Braking

The Tekonsha Voyager brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.


The Voyager uses a pendulum system to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to slow at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Works great, following instructions and installed the trailer controller. Not all defaclut to install and the hardest thing was getting a 66 Year old kid in position to install it under the dash! I don’t bend as easy as I use too.



by:

Excellent controller, I've had good luck with Tekonsha products in the past and this controller was no different. I went with this model over more expensive options from Tekonsha. Other models have presets for different trailers, however, that would have limited value to me with the wide variety of trailers I pull. Otherwise, I may have made a different choice. I did have to 3d print an adaptor for the controller to sit correctly in my truck, but for my truck that would of been an issue with any proportional controller. I highly recommend this product.



by:

In case my first review posts, after an unsuccessful online chat with someone at etrailer, I called them and spoke with a very nice and knowledgeable man (unfortunately I didn’t catch his name). He walked me through the subtle differences between the 2nd generation Sprinter van 7-way factory plug and the 3rd (current) generation van which I have and via telephone I was able to get the Tekonsha adapter harness connected. Thanks etrailer!



by:

I am very satisfied with the Voyager brake Controller I purchased. It is the easiest unit to adjust that I have ever owned. The controls are easy to adjust and it has worked well with my trailers.



by:

This harness fits more years than noted, so long as you have the green factory connector under the driver seat. I thought shipping this item would take several weeks but E-Trailer had it out in just a couple days. A quality product that worked perfectly and was easily installed.



by:

etrailer makes the purchase easy. I have always used Tekonsha Voyagers, and on my new truck (2015 Silverado) I also wanted the convenience of having the plug and play wiring harness. etrailer had exactly what I needed and was very easy to find on the website. Installation was flawless and clean thanks to the good hardware supplied. Very excited to put some trailers behind the truck with the stopping power confidence that comes with the Voyager.



by:

The Tekonsha Voyager trailer brake controller works well in my 99 Silverado 1500, which was easy to setup for my trailer. The option to allow for different settings of aggression for the trailer braking has allowed the stopping with different loads to be graceful with the turn of a knob. Decided to install the controller in CD storage with velcro for a nice look. Easy access when in place during use for easy observation and twicking during operation. The wife can assist with the twicking while I am driving. Excellent product!



by:

This made connecting my me REDARC Brake Controller easier than hard wiring.



by:

This brake controller was so simple to install with help from etrailer.
It unit operats the electric brakes on my trailer great and I love that I can adjust the braking power from inside my motorhome.



by:

Completely plug and play installation and works flawlessly, very happy with this unit. I also ordered the exact harness for my 2005 f150 with tow package. Here are a couple of hints that may be helpful. My installation also required a 30 amp cartridge fuse to be installed in the fuse panel in location #105(electric trailer brakes) under the dash on the passenger side. I also installed a relay in location r05 (trailer tow battery charge) but I don't think this is needed for the controller to function. I still had the original trailer brake kit and it had the additional fuse panel instructions and the relay. The owners manual showed where the 30 amp fuse and relay plugs in. You cannot test this unit until a trailer with brakes is connected, ie the led will not light up until it senses a brake circuit.



by:

This is my second Tekonsha; I had to replace my 10-year old one after I accidentally broke it.

This one is a bit of an upgrade, and is easily able to lock up the disc brakes on my 15,000 lb trailer. Adjusting it properly, I'm able to brake as though there were no trailer at all. Set it, and forget it. It doesn't get any easier than that.



by:

Received this yesterday and was able to install it today. Instructions were very easy to follow and the only problem I had installing it was contorting myself to install the bracket. Once I got the bracket in place the rest was a piece of cake. Went for a test drive as the instructions suggested and did have to tweak it a little but it's doing exactly what I expect it to do. I'll be hauling a John Deere Tractor and wanted to make sure the brakes on the trailer worked.



by:

Installed in my 2018 Silverado Custom. I ordered the additional wiring harness and the install took less than thirty minutes. Plug and Play at its simplest. Thank You etrailer.



by:

The product was easy to install with the help of the F-250 adapter. I followed the direction and the product worked just as it was advertised from etrailer.com. If I had to give the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Break Controller a star rating from 1-5, I would give it a 4.5.



by:

Easy installation and seems to be a great product. I also used the harness for my 07 new body Silverado for a easy install. Videos are a great help as well . I will purchase all of my trailer and RV needs from ETrailer from now on.



by:

It's always a great day when you can plug and play! No cutting or splicing wire with this kit. Works great!



by:

This installation is in a 2010 Ford F-150 Lariat
The installation was very easy. It helps to have a 90 degree screwdriver to install the
screws on the right side. The screws will install easier if you install them first, remove them
and re-install after the bracket is installed on the vehicle.



by:

Nice controller, compact and good instructions. I cut the plug and hard wired on my application (98 Sierra) Had no issues.



by:

Works as advertised.



by:

Hard to adjust. Had tech at rv place adjust still grabby. Should have got more modern controller



by:

Works Great.



by:

Plug it in and voila!



by:

Hello Alex. I appreciate the follow-up on my brake controller and wiring for my Sprinter van. The wiring was plug and play. It was s little difficult running the wires, but I got it. Again the wiring was plug and play along with the brake controller. I plugged it in and it immediately worked. I haven't towed the trailer with it yet, but will soon. Thanks again for the information on what to buy. You made the project so much easier.



by:

This was an easy install on my 2019 GMC truck using the appropriate wiring adapter. Instructions for setting up the control were clear. After a few adjustments my trailer brakes worked as they should. Minor adjustments of the controller are needed from time to time, but overall the controller is reliable. Good value.

The correct items that fit properly were delivered in a timely manner.

I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 with Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3063-P which makes for a plug-in-play install. If you don't want to do all the work finding the connector...

  • Proportional Brake Controller for a 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter w/ Factory Tow Package
    The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 is a proportional brake controller that has a plug-and-play installation using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers # 3063-P. This plug-and-play option is only available if your 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has the factory tow package.

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Adapter for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz 3500
    There is a kit technically that we have which includes both the adapter and the brake controller, but since it's a multi-product in our system there isn't any way to link a single product. So you'd need to add the adapter # 3063-P and the brake controller # 90195 separately, unfortunately. Also, the Tekonsha harness # 3063-P will work with TrailerMate, Draw-Tite, and Tekonsha brake controllers that have a built-in plug for the adapter to connect to.

  • Trailer Break Control Installation for Tekonsha Prodigy P3 on 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
    According to my research, if your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector you will have the brake controller connector pre-wired. This pre-wired connector should be under the driver side seat which you can see in the attached photo. The connector is green with four pins inside. Once you locate this connector you can install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers...

    The Redar Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR can easily install on your 2022 Motorhome built on a Sprinter chassis with the part # 3063-P which plugs in right under the dash. This controller is really nice as it uses an inertia sensor to detect how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and applies a similar amount on the trailer brakes. It also only requires putting a small control knob on your dash instead of a larger box like a traditional controller. I attached an install video for the...

    I may have a solution for you to install a different brake controller using a plug and play harness to avoid hard-wiring, but Curt does not have a brake controller adapter plug for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500. If you wanted to use the Curt Spectrum # C51170 then you'd need to hard-wire it into the vehicle. However there is a comparable brake controller to the Spectrum that does have a plug and play adapter with the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR, which can use the Tekonsha adapter...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 With 7-Way
    Since your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has the factory 7-way, that means you'll have the factory tow package, so I assume by "wiring" you are referring to the wiring adapter needed to plug into the brake controller (it will plug into the green port under your driver's seat as in the accompanying photo). The correct part for your '19 Sprinter 2500 is the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3063-P. Then for a brake controller that works with that adapter, there are a couple options I...

  • Is There a Plug and Play Harness for Hayes Energize III Brake Controller on 2016 MB Sprinter 3500
    I have a solution for you, and there are some brake controllers available that can be used with a plug and play wiring harness to ease installation; however the Hayes Energize III # HA81742B is not one of those controllers and it would need to be hard wired into the vehicle no matter what. If you want to go that route you can use the # HA81789-HBC to plug into the Energize III and gives you the pigtail wiring needed to hardwire. With that said, instead of the Hayes Energize III I recommend...

    You can hard-wire in a brake controller, and it seems that there are not a lot of the Sprinter 3500 models that are pre-wired, at least from what I've seen in my research. I have not seen any reports that this isn't possible, and we even have an installation video to walk you through the process. The way to find out whether or not the plug is present by using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 and testing for a hot wire when the brake is pressed- it's possible that one of the plugs that...
