Brake Controls & Electrical Wiring

Hidden Hitch's PowerTrac™ and Pilot® brake controls are great choices for your basic economical light-duty towing needs. These time actuated controls have solid state electronics and can be mounted in any position - horizontal, vertical, even turned upside down.

Pilot Brake Control

• 2-8 brakes (1-4 axle) systems
• Large easy-to-read dual digital display shows Properly wired control, Voltage output to brakes, Connection to trailer
• Dark smoke lens ideal for direct light applications; performs better than red lens
• Microprocessor allows control to be mounted upside down and still have a readable display
• Protection against short circuit and loss of ground
• Any Direction Mounting

Proportional based controls offer a smooth braking response to almost any stop. Through the use of a sensing device, the brake control can determine the tow vehicle's rate of deceleration and then apply the trailer brakes to match. In other words, Proportional controls deliver power to the trailer brakes in direct relationship to the actual physical deceleration of the tow vehicle.

Primus Brake Control

Introducing Primus™ digital brake control, a totally proportional electric trailer brake control. Primus™ digital brake control utilizes the primary sensor technology from Prodigy® and features the one step "Point and GoSM" set-up system. Easy-to-set system allows the driver maximum flexibility when determining how the trailer should respond to a braking event. Snap-in dash mounting clip and removable electrical connector allow unit to be quickly stored when not in use. You will appreciate the digital readout depicting a secure electrical connection and the amount of voltage delivery to the trailer brakes.

Prodigy Brake Control

Prodigy® is the most intelligent brake control. This powerful control features new motion sensor technology similar to what is used in the aerospace industry. With Prodigy® no manual level adjustment is necessary, it adjusts itself to varying terrains as you drive. It is equipped with a sensor that detects the tow vehicle's rate of deceleration, applies proportional braking to the trailer and features an exclusive "BoostSM" feature that gives users the ability to apply more initial trailer braking power (especially when towing heavier trailers). For backing into tough spots this is the only inertia control that works proportionally in reverse. A digital display depicts voltage delivery to the trailer during braking and displays continual diagnostics check for proper connection, shorted magnet condition, open ground and much more. A unique pocket mount allows for flexible mounting options (standard mounting bracket included). Prodigy® includes a 3 ft. pigtail connector for ease of connection when using a vehicle's brake control wire harness. A quick and easy disconnect feature allows users to remove the control when not in use and store in a supplied protective pouch. Prodigy® meets National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations regarding tow vehicle/trailer light activation. It also offers a limited lifetime warranty (some conditions apply).
