Review on Hopkins 47297 INSIGHT Simplified Brake Control Plug-in by Alex Cassanova

best aftermarket brake controller

Excellent brake controller and very easy to install. First let me say that I have had many trucks with many brake controls that I have installed. This unit works great with excellent controls, adjusts power levels with ease, and has a great remote display. Having a display on my dash where I can see it without looking down is great, not that you have to see the display all the time, but for the first few minutes of me dialing in the trailer, it's great that i don't have to look all the way down. See what numbers you're setting yourself up for. Second, the remote activation and adjustment switch was very easy to install and on my F150 it was on the panel next to my lighter just in front of the switch. fits in perfectly and is perfectly positioned to make adjustments or apply the trailer brakes in an emergency. The control box fits perfectly under the dash and is very easy to connect with an adapter that I bought separately. This unit works just as well as the Tekonsha Prodigy p3 I had in my last truck, but I really prefer this unit because its controls aren't mounted under the dash, on the console, or in many other places. I got creative trying to place the controller in a useful spot. This is designed to be easily installed in places that look good on your truck while being useful.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
