Electric Brake control units

Whatever you go for check out the warranty side of it first. I am currently having problems with a Tekonsha Voyager. Tekonsha USA say 5 years but Aust distributor reckons only 1 year so at this point in time I'm banging the old head against a wall.
So make sure of the validity of the warranty
cheers Dave

Won't claim it is the best (frankly don't know), but the Tekonsha Prodigy is very easy to adjust and has an excellent manual over ride. I think it has become the 'standard' for most heavy towing. I particularly like the boost function where you can change the timing of trailer braking relative to the vehicle.

I have the 'Prodegy' as well and have found it to be very good in all the points previously covered. I tow a 3 tonne van with a L/C TD. The ability of the boost to adjust timing particularly on hairy down hills has given some measure of cofidence that I'll get to the bottom before the van. Haven't had any problems so can't comment on warrantys. I had mine fitted by an auto electrician. Seemed like a good idea in case I had any grief. good luck.

I sell both units and both are good.

The New Prodigy is great and so easy to fit and can be packed away when not in use in the handy soft pouch.

The Voyger must still be manually adjusted and left in the car but the new units have been modified and I have had no problems in the last 12 months. The difference of $100.00 in price can be a deciding factor.

The Tekonsha Prodigy is the best on the market. I had a Hayman Reese controller prior to the Prodigy, it worked ok but would pull the camper up with a jerk when the brake was released, a real pain when going down a long hill or through a town.

A mate changed to a Prodigy and said his trip down the Clyde Mountain felt safer and 15 min quicker.

Has a lot more adjustments, and is removable for safe keeping when not towing. It gives you a indercation of power conections to camper and what settings you have made.

Tekonsha Prodigy.
Best by a country mile.

I have the Prodigy in my TD Jackeroo auto with CC fitted.... Ok it works beautifully but the brake light switch is not rated highly enough and failed constantly. Of course Holden said I should be using a "High Current" switch but they don't actually make one. The switch that comes standard is suitable but won't for whatever reason work with the CC....I actually got to the bottom of the matter by making my own switch using part of the installed one and a Dick Smith 10 amp Micro Switch.... I wonder if any other Jackeroo owners have similar problems?
