5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Mercedes or other European SUV's, March 23, 2011

This review is from: Tekonsha 90250 Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Control (Automotive)

Bought this elsewhere, but am amazed at the quality and ease of use. Perfect for my GL450, which is difficult to add a brake module, but came with factory hitch and wiring for trailer. Europeans use more surge brakes so don't seem to care about electric brake systems. BMW and Audi also make it difficult to add an electric brake controller to many models.
15 minutes to mount this on my trailer, 5 minutes to pair the remote control, on the road in 20 minutes!!
A fantastic unit and no need to add wiring or any underdash items to my GL, just have a cool remote with full control over all the trailer braking functions.

Great product, works excellent, is easy to install,and easy to program. Took about 20 minutes to install and program. Very handy with new cars and trucks that have no where to mount a controller. Another advantage over dash mounted controllers is that you have brakes with any tow vehicle. Brakes work smoothly with no jerking or locking up.

This review is from: Tekonsha 90250 Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Control (Automotive)

My 2011 Volvo XC60 was not, according to the dealer, able to be set up to tow a trailer with electric brakes (as required by federal law). Tekonsha solved this problem with the Prodigy RF. It meant no wiring connections to the vehicle brake circuits were necessary. This meant that the sophisticated computer interface and the multiplex wiring in the Volvo would not be disturbed. Just buy the Volvo cwiring harnerr, plug it into a 7 pin Bargmann connector, run a 12 volt fused line from the battery and the Tekonsha is ready to go - it was plug and play - and works extremely well. The support staff at Tekonsha were very helpful and very knowledgeable. This product is worth 6 stars!
