The Prodigy P2 electric brake controller ensures that your tow vehicle's brakes and the trailer's brakes operate in unison, providing proportional power. This means that both the trailer and the vehicle brakes engage simultaneously and with equal force, even when reversing. When you need to make a sudden stop with your truck, the trailer's brakes react immediately, eliminating any lag time. As a result, your vehicle's brakes are not overburdened by the task of halting the total load, which reduces wear and tear, thereby extending their lifespan compared to time-based systems.

Additionally, the P2 features a mechanism that cuts power to the trailer’s brakes once your vehicle comes to a complete stop. This design helps prolong the life of the magnets and brake shoes housed within the trailer's brake assemblies. In essence, the proportional braking achieved with the Prodigy P2 allows for smoother and more efficient deceleration, enhancing the overall towing experience.

Another advantageous feature of the Prodigy P2 is its boost option, which enhances the initial braking power whenever you are towing heavier loads. Increased braking strength is crucial for safely bringing the trailer to a halt alongside the tow vehicle. Depending on the selected setting, the boost feature can dispatch either 13 or 25 percent more power to the trailer's brakes, compensating effectively for the extra weight. The manual boost option allows you to apply additional braking power with just a button press, delivering power precisely when it’s most needed. This ensures that your fully loaded rig stops smoothly and comfortably.

One of the standout aspects of the Prodigy P2 is its self-leveling capability. This feature automatically adjusts while you drive, eliminating concerns when navigating steep hills or mountainous terrains. Furthermore, this self-leveling design simplifies installation: you can mount the unit in your cab at virtually any vertical angle due to its 360-degree rotation functionality. The display is conveniently positioned for easy visibility, while the pivoting manual override lever is easily accessible at the bottom of the unit.

The P2 conducts continuous diagnostic checks, monitoring both your connection and the condition of the magnets. This proactive approach enables you to resolve issues before they leave you stranded on the roadside. The latest version of Tekonsha's renowned Prodigy brake controller also includes reverse battery protection, which safeguards both the unit and the accessory systems. Its power-save mode further minimizes battery drain in periods of inactivity.

For added convenience, the brake controller is portable thanks to the included mounting pocket. This allows you to slide the unit out of the pocket mount and transfer it effortlessly between vehicles. After acquiring the appropriate optional harness (sold separately) for your vehicle, one end connects directly to the vehicle, while the other attaches to your P2. You can simply unplug the unit for use in another car, truck, or SUV without any need for hard-wiring.

Lastly, the digital display provides a clear indication of the voltage being delivered to the trailer during braking, enhancing your control over the towing process. An instructional DVD accompanies the written guide, enabling you to maximize all the features offered by this sophisticated brake controller.
