Recommendation for wireless brake controller

kkfouche

I'm in the market for a proportional wireless brake controller for my Tab 320. Don't want to pop for the high-price unit but some of the recommended units say that they don't work on metal covered travel trailers. Does anyone know about the Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ or have another suggestion?

Unless I’m missing something, the Primus IQ doesn’t appear to be wireless. The Prodigy RF is Tekonsha’s wireless product, and is used by many Tab owners without issue. Others use the Curt Echo.

@kkfouche - there is a Tekonsha Prodigy RF for sale here on the forum at a great price!

Thanks for the heads-up. I sent the seller a note and hope it is still available. I've looked at so many controllers that I sorted the proportional ones and made a mistake when I tried to cull the wired units. Thanks for correcting me.

I have had success using the ECHO Smart Controller, Bluetooth-enabled paired to its mobile iPhone app.  Once setup it automatically applies the trailer's electric brakes and provide a manual overide. Here is the amazon link.

I use and highly recommend the Prodigy RF unit. Flawless operation, no BT connection required and is transferable between TV's with ease.

I was able to find the Curt Echo on this forum so I'm all set.
