Electric Brake Controller

Submitted by Mark M on Tue, 2011-07-05 21:02

Hi All,

Need to fit  electric brake controller to an 09 Prado and hoping that I can get some information on electric brake controllers, are there any that I need to stay away from or are they all fairly similar, do you need certain controllers depending on the make of the electric over hydraulic brake system on the trailer (trailer has brake rite system) and also info on some good auto sparkies that are able to install preferably NOR.

thanks

Mark

Not sure if there's much to them so brands shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. It cost about $100 from memory plus install. Does the job. For a electrician, try dinkum auto electrics in Malaga. The boys are on Fishwrecked and did some work for me after it all got wet and fixed it really well

another vote for Dinkum. It is Kempy on here, search him and giv ehim a call, his number is at the bottom of the post - just got one put in a LC200 cost $260 installed, I imagine the cruiser is a bit  more of a pain than the prado. Voyager is the basic controller, but apparently the P3 and prodigy are a lot smaller and better units just more $$$
