New Tekonsha P3 brake controller (Prodigy upgraded)

What improvements have been made to make it better than the Prodigy?

Re: New Tekonsha P3 brake controller (Prodigy upgraded)

I have made a couple of trips with mine now. I like it. Seems to work smoother than the Prodigy. I like the display better and has more options for display lighting if you want to change colors.

Re: New Tekonsha P3 brake controller (Prodigy upgraded)

I will be mounting one soon also. Where did you guys mount the unit? If I mount it to the lower dash under the cuby do I need something behind the plastic to mount to? Any other concerns I should watch for?

Thanks.
