Thread: Who knows trailer brake controllers?

    There are about a million posts in the other thread. this is a potential minefield for a sparky that isn't up on Landys. I got my P3 wired up at Graeme Coopers Landy specialist at St Peters. They knew exactly what to do and quite often fix other landy 'specialist' mistakes. I got quoted approx $700+ at Purnell Landy and they wanted a wiring diagram of the trailer - WTF!? Coppers did it for just under half that I recall. I also have a unique wiring position on the top right of the dash as I don't want the unit there 24/7 - only when I tow. Works a treat!

    I have virtually taken apart a D3 to find this elusive plug only to find they aren't part of our loom for export.
    If you are in the states then fine it is in the loom.

    I'm with you Pete. I've been researching this illusive plug (plug and play) option on my 2010 RRS for some 12 months leading up to the delivery of our caravan. In short, it doesn't exist in Aus. I have also read your posts on wiring up D3's for trailer breaks leading up to the arrival of the van. The information is great, thankyou, very well done!
    Unfortunately I ran out of time and thought I'd take my vehicle to the local Landrover Dealer, they know what they doing I kept telling myself......wrong!! The wiring diagram (attached) supplied by Landrover Aust to the installing LR tech has the compulsory diode in bum about, stopping the brake signal to the Brake Control Unit. I have brought this to his notice, hopefully it's passed on to LR Australia.
    Hope this works, I'm only a beginner at this forum stuff

    Cheers Shane

    No, Well maybe :-)I can't copy & paste certain things in "Forum Runner" on my iPad.

    Sorry guys, can't help with a photo. I am in a D2 and just about to wire it up and came across the D3 adaptor while browsing the Disco CD.
    I thought it might be usefull but it seems it's not on Aussie vehicles.
    Sorry about that.
    I wired my D1 at home. took just over an hour and will do the same for the D2.
    Cheers, Rick.

    Bloody annoying though that they would include such a brilliant idea for the US market but deem us not worthy to include it for us.

    Thankyou Pete, You might be sorry with your offer, I've got a few question boiling around in my head at the moment. You can blame Tim (I think it was) from Traxide for dobbing you in, "just go on the aulro site and look for sniegy" he said.
    What a great, proffessionally made dual battery kit they make, with all the supporting installation info, can't fault the product in any way.

    Cheers Shane
