    This looks like a good idea

    MY20 Don't rearrange the pins on 3035 cable

Interestingly an auto electrician was going to charge me $750 to install the brake controller. All up this took about 45 minutes to do so dead easy if you have basic skills given it's just plug an play.
    I can confirm that there is no need to rearrange the pins on MY20 either.
    I used the Tekonsha 3035-P cable to install a Tekonsha P3 and all I had to do was plug it in.
    It appears that the vehicle wiring was different on the OPs earlier model L494.

    Ive attached a photo of my install which shows the blue wire on the vehicle going to the bottom right of the connector (when viewed with the keying up)
    In the OPs post it shows the vehicle blue wire going to the top right of the connector so clearly there has been a change.

    What year is yours, the info is missing from your profile?

    I put mine in the centre of the panel that has the tailgate release in it. It pops out. This way it is easy to adjust, and the led doesn’t bother you at night.
    You will need to cut away some of the plastic architecture behind the panel, but none of it is structural.

    Land rover owned mine when the Redarc was installed, they put the knob on the lhs of the steering column. easy to access while driving if required.
    Gone - RRS SE SDV6 with Dynamic MY15.5 Yulong White, with LLAMS

    Thanks I will look at this sounds like a good idea. Waiting on the connector ATM but should be ready to go in a couple of weeks.

    Great info and now I join the ranks of a brake controller installed RRS. Thanks to the board I was able to pick the steering column as the place to mount the controller and am well pleased.

    Hi Topunit,

    Where did you end up mounting your Tekonsha P3? I am about to do the same and dont know where to put it.
