    electronic brake controller

    Hi All,
    Not sure if this is the correct channel, sorry if it is not.

    i currently have a Tekonsha Sentinel Electronic brake controller in my Disco 2, which is in a stupid spot in my car. I'd like to replace with a Redarc remote head unit (the EBRH). My question is, can i cut the wiring/disconnect the wiring and easily connect the new unit to the existing wiring? from what i've read, the wiring seems the same, but i'd like to be sure.

    Without looking, I would say yes as there is only 4 wires on the controller.

    Black +ve
    White -ve
    Red Brake ligt wire pick-up
    Blue Variable voltage feed to pin No.5

    I have fitted a RedArc remote head to my vehicle also, very good unit & simple to use.

    Cheers

    I just installed a Tekonsha P3 and yes the wiring and colours seem exactly the same.

    The Redarc has the advantage of low footprint, as it is a remote control design. However I have heard it is not good as the Tekonsha P3 in the way it works.

    refer here :

    I like the diagnostics displays of the P3, even gives you battery volts.

    x2 for the P3.

    I had a Voyager and now a P3. Much prefer the P3, easy to setup and yeah the voltage display shows exactly whats going on. It seems very smooth on the take up too, i don't know if the P3 is pendulum based but whatever they have done with it works well.

    Cheers

    X3 for the p3

    I was going to install the redarc but after reading lots of info went with the P3.
    Definately the same wiring. Only wire size may vary. I think that the redarc uses smaller gauge wiring. though so you should be fine as your existing should be this or greater.

    ps. cant remember the required gauges tho
