Tekonsha is a leading manufacturer of electronic trailer brake controllers, pioneering the category in the 1970s. The lineup spans proportional units such as the Prodigy P3 and Prodigy iD, time-delayed controllers, the wireless Prodigy RF, plus vehicle-specific wiring harnesses, adapters and trailer brake components engineered for smooth, predictable stopping at any speed.
Tekonsha Engineering Company began in 1964 building RV steps and mirrors. Within a few years it had found its real calling, and by the 1970s Tekonsha was pioneering the manufacture of electronic trailer brake controllers, the product category that still defines the brand. More than half a century later it remains the reference name in trailer braking and is part of the Horizon Global group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Fulton, Bulldog and Wesbar.
A brake controller is the component that tells a trailer's electric brakes how hard to work and when, and getting that right is the difference between a controlled stop and a shove from behind. Tekonsha builds both major types. Proportional controllers use an internal accelerometer to sense how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing and apply trailer braking to match, so light braking stays light and hard braking is immediate. Time-delayed controllers ramp to a preset output over a fixed interval, a simpler and more economical approach that suits occasional towing.
The current brake controller range covers most of that ground. The Prodigy iD pairs with a phone through Tekonsha's EDGE technology for setup and monitoring, the P3 offers storable settings for multiple trailers and a trilingual colour LED display, the Prodigy P2 adds a dimmable display and boost mode for heavier loads, and the Voyager keeps operation simple and dependable. The Prodigy RF mounts to the trailer itself and controls wirelessly, which suits rental fleets and drivers who swap tow vehicles.
Installation is supported by vehicle-specific brake control harnesses that plug into a factory connector rather than requiring cut-and-splice wiring, along with mounting brackets and adapters. Matched controller bundles pair a unit with the correct harness. Products are tested to meet and often exceed published industry standards.

Yes, the T-One T-Connector part 118628-037 is designed for the Acura MDX. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
The T-One T-Connector is an electrical connector system that provides a 4-flat trailer connector interface for your Acura MDX. It connects to your vehicle's electrical junction box and allows you to plug in a trailer or other towed equipment. The system includes a white connector that plugs into the vehicle's junction box and a black box module that houses the fuses and relays.
Two tools are required: a trim panel remover and a test probe. The trim panel remover is used to access the interior panels during installation, and the test probe is used to verify the electrical connections after installation.
Open the vehicle's rear tailgate and remove the cargo nets and cargo floor hatch to access the spare tire area. You may also find it helpful to fold the rear seat forward. You will need to access the cover to the relays and fuses in the junction box area.
Mount the black box module below the rear threshold in the spare tire compartment in an out-of-the-way place. The surface must be in an area free of moisture and mounted high enough so it is not exposed to direct contact with water or any liquid substance.
Starting from the cargo area, route the white T-One T-Connector end up and behind the trim panel to the junction box area. Plug the white connector end into the mating connection in the electric junction box. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt, do not damage the locking tabs, and verify that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder supplied with the product (from step 3). Additionally, locate the fuse panel schematic on the inside of the box cover and insert fuses into positions 2 and 11 as shown in the diagram on the cover.
Route the 4-flat wire over to the jack storage area. Replace the black cargo liner and store the 4-flat wire in the jack compartment when not in use. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires when reinstalling the threshold, storage covers, floor covering and other items removed during installation.
All connections must be complete for the T-One T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and the product labeling for the specific amperage limit.
Always wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the product before beginning. Read, understand and follow all warnings and instructions printed on the tow vehicle's battery.
All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt before connecting. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Verify that the connector surfaces match correctly.
If the fuse has not already been removed, remove it from the supplied fuse holder before routing the white T-One T-Connector end. You will reinstall this 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder after routing the connector.
