DIY - Installing brake controller

Thanks for this post with all the images, drawings and information. I have an MY17 LD5 SD4 - I purchased the Tekonsha 3035-P from Amazon for $16AUD and got it fast freighted for $17AUD - it arrived in less than a week! Job done in no time.
Just an update - I did not need to adjust the wiring in the 3035-P plug - it was already correct for the socket under the dash.[biggrin]

I've not calibrated it yet - but everything appears to be working well and configuration was correct on a multimeter.

Thanks Daryl, got an Elite pro installed the other week and that loom wouldn't work, different plug under dash, also the car found the ( led) van straitaway, this is on a my16.5

this looks great! Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the steering shroud?

I've just followed the instructions to fit a redarc unit tonight. Redarc do a cable for their controller as well as the Tekonsha one mentioned but you still have to swap the wires around (sigh).

I decided the best way to fit the control knob was a bent piece of aluminium strap nicely polished and mounted against the centre console. No holes to drill and can be removed if I ever feel like it, the control unit was mounted in a similar position to where others have done it.

Sorry about the out of focus picture but you get the idea....

Just finished the install on a 2016 SDV6.
The Tekonsha 3035-P adapter still fits perfectly, but I used the brakes which saved me from splicing any wires.
Everything worked straight away, only had to adjust calibration on the controller knob.
