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.

The 2022-2024 KIA EV6 Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118872 (Part #TK118872) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the T-One® Connector (118872-037) is designed for the Kia EV6. The manual is specific to this vehicle model.
The T-One® Connector is a trailer wiring harness that integrates into the vehicle's existing tail light wiring to provide trailer lighting connections. It includes a 4-flat connector for trailer use.
Required tools are: trim panel remover, Phillips head screwdriver, 10 mm socket or wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, wire crimpers, wire cutters, and test probe.
The kit includes double-sided tape for mounting the black box, cable ties for securing the harness, an eyelet and screw for grounding the white wire, two yellow butt connectors, a yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse, and a ring terminal for battery connection.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before making connections to the positive battery terminal. This is done in step 15, after routing the black 12 ga. wire to the engine bay.
You must remove: both rear seats (folded down), floor covering, cargo tray, threshold, and both driver's and passenger's side trim panels. The manual emphasizes being careful not to damage locking tabs or pins during removal.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire near the black box. The manual requires you to verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury, and prohibits drilling into any exposed surfaces.
Yes. You must carefully slit an existing grommet in the firewall under the dashboard to route the black 12 ga. wire from the vehicle interior into the front trunk compartment.
The T-One® Connector uses colour-coded wires: yellow wire (driver's side tail light connector), green wire (passenger's side tail light connector), white wire (ground connection to vehicle frame or ground stud), black 12 ga. wire (power supply from vehicle battery), and orange high-power lines (which must never be cut, connected, or modified).
The T-One® Connector has two ends: the yellow-wire end inserts between the driver's side vehicle tail light wiring connectors (step 5), and the green-wire end inserts between the passenger's side tail light wiring connectors (step 10). Both must be fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The vehicle's original connectors remain connected to the vehicle harness.
The black 12 ga. wire is routed from the engine bay through the vehicle interior to the cargo area, where its end is connected to the black power wire on the T-One® Connector black box using a yellow butt connector (provided in the hardware kit).
The black 12 ga. wire is routed to the engine bay and connected to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable using a ring terminal and a yellow fuse holder containing a 15 amp fuse. The fuse holder wire is attached to the positive battery cable after the negative cable is disconnected. The negative cable is then reconnected, and the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder.
The T-One® Connector uses a 15 amp fuse, installed in the yellow fuse holder that connects the black 12 ga. wire to the vehicle's positive battery cable.
Never connect, disconnect, cut into, or attach any power wire or device to the high-power orange line, cables, or connectors. Serious injury can result. This warning applies to the orange wires present in the vehicle's tail light connectors.
The black box is mounted on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided in the hardware kit. The remainder of the harness is secured with cable ties to prevent damage or rattling, while avoiding areas that could cut or pinch the wire.
The white ground wire is secured using an eyelet and screw provided in the hardware kit. It must be attached to a suitable grounding point near the black box, such as an existing ground stud, or to a 3/32" hole drilled in the vehicle frame. The area must be cleaned of dirt and rustproofing before attachment.
The black 12 ga. wire is routed from the cargo area forward through the vehicle interior, behind the driver's side rear trim panels, sill plate, side panels, and up under the driver's side of the dashboard. It then passes through a slit in the firewall grommet to reach the front trunk compartment where it connects to the vehicle's positive battery cable.
The T-One® Connector end with the green wire is routed along the threshold and behind the passenger's side trim panel to the taillight pocket area, where it is inserted between the passenger's side vehicle tail light wiring connectors.
Always wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. If routing wire through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, or other points that may pinch or break the wire. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery.
Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-One® Connector to function properly.
Reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, floor covering, and other items that were removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires during reinstallation.
The 4-flat connector should be stored in the rear cargo area when not in use.
The manual does not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Do not exceed stated product ratings, as overloading circuits can cause fires. Refer to the product label and vehicle owner's manual for specific amperage ratings.
