Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller - $78 New
For those of you looking for a brake controller, I found one at http://www.etrailer.com/pc-IA~90185.htm for $98 and there is a $20 mail in mfg rebate (til 8/25 i believe). I bought mine Monday night, and it was here Wednesday with the super save shipping ($5) This is the cheapest that I have seen it. Most sites have it listed for $130+ or so. Now, if i only had a trailer to tow.... Anyways, just thought i would share.

A trailer purchase is only a credit card swipe away!

Great! Thanks for stepping up to the plate...i'll need your CC number, expiry date, and CCV code...

thanks 4the info just orderd one mine went out last week

Shawn, Have you got yours installed yet?

gid- 08-24-2007

It is installed, but I may have to move it. The owner's manual says to mount it at least 12" from a CB, but mine is closer than that so i may have to relocate it.

installed mine 2day no worky :?

gid- 08-26-2007

Define No worky? I just plugged mine in, and the correct n.c. (not connected) was displayed. I could also set the boost. I don't have a trailer (yet) so i can't tow anything and see if the braking actually works. The nice thing about the prodigy, is it has a lifetime limited warranty, but If i were you, i would contact etrailer first.

with the trailer hooked up it reads NC then it will read C then on off/on/off it will not stay in the C i have played with this thing now for 5 hours :x not a happy camper right now

gid- 08-26-2007

That does suck...are you sure all your connections are sound? (sorry but i had to ask...)

gid- 08-26-2007

Just as an FYI, I checked google to see if anyone else had similar issues. Only thing i could find is Touareg owners have issues due to the complexity of that braking system, but I somehow doubt, you are wiring it into a Touareg... I know that does nothing for you now, but it doesn't seem to be a common problem that prodigy owners face.

found the prob. pulled the drums of the trailer and the wires going to the magnet where broke off :shock: thats for the help

gid- 08-29-2007

Well, i didn't really do anything, but no problem...;). Glad it worked out for you.

Techtafab- 08-29-2007

oh buddy i have brakes now :D

gid- 09-26-2007

Ok, solved the lack of trailer problem by actually buying one...:D. Should be ready by this Friday, though I probably won't be able to get it until Saturday or worst case, early next week...:( It is a 14' (12+2) dove tail car hauler from branson trailers. It will have brakes on both axles, and ramps that pull out and store from the rear... Anyways, i guess i can finally test out my new controller...
