    Hi Andrew,
    I have a Tekonsha Prodigy P3, I wired up the unit from the trailer wiring at the back left hand corner of the vehicle. Hooked directly into the wiring, all soldered joints and I've had no problems at all. Only downside is you have to run the wiring the length of the vehicle. Worked for me. I mounted the Tekonsha unit above my left knee on the plastic cover.

    I have a Redarc unit in me Deefa for a 1t camper trailer. I like it because it only has a small knob and light in the dash. The unit is in behind the dash. No bulky thing to hit your knee on where I have seen other brands fitted under the dash. It works well.

    Absolutely agree with that! A car capable of towing 3500KG but only 750KG un-braked - it's obvious that a brake controller has to be fitted, why not provide an interface as a standard feature? Why make people go through all the hassle to splice it in them selves only to have a high degree of risk of introducing faults? Sheesh!
