Works great on my 2009 Subaru Forester

It took me hours to route the wires and get everything working, but long enough to get to the engine bay with a head start. I ran it mostly inside along the door channel. Well done. You should have a multimeter and some experience with schematics. I'm sure I saved several hundred dollars by doing it myself.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Not bad but not perfect

There are only 2 large ring terminals in the package but you need 3 to install the brake controller (1 on the negative battery post and 2 on the positive battery post). So now I have to go to AutoZone to buy a new one. Also, the wires are a bit short and I didn't have enough scrap wire for one of the wires from the switch to the battery. I collected quite a long wire, but not ideal.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Makes it quick and easy

On a long bed truck with standard cab, the length is sufficient to route under the hood from the rear and into the cab with duplex cable. I followed the factory wiring harness along the frame spar under the hood near the parking sensors, installed breakers there, and then climbed into the cab. A longer truck requires additional cable. I skipped the electrical connectors and latches that came with the kit and used crimp connectors with built-in heat shrink for better results. I made a bracket to

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Just the thing if your car already has a 4-pin trailer flat connector.

This kit contains everything needed to install the trailer brake controller on my Jeep. I already had a 4 pin spade connector but I needed a 7 pin connector with power and brake cables to charge the trailer batteries and control the trailer brakes. The installation is quite easy. Several zip ties are included, but I ordered a few much larger ones to secure the cable to the frame rails. After watching a few videos online I was able to install it using the circuit breaker location suggestions…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Generally OK but...
