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 2012-2016 Honda CR-V Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118561 (Part #TK118561) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the CR-V. The manual does not specify model year range, so contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm compatibility with your specific CR-V generation.
The T-Connector is a wiring harness that integrates with your CR-V's electrical system. It includes a grey 12-pin connector that plugs into the vehicle's black box-module, a 4-flat connector for trailer lights, and a white ground wire. It allows you to connect a trailer or towed vehicle to your CR-V's lighting system.
You will need: trim panel remover tool, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe. Safety glasses are required.
Open the rear door and temporarily remove the rear threshold, cargo net, and cargo cover. Then use a trim panel remover tool to carefully remove two plastic panels and partially remove the main trim panel by removing the 10 mm bolt, 2 screws behind the seat lever, 1 clip, and 1 cargo hook (push in center). It may be helpful to fold the rear seat forward.
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 free of moisture and mounted high enough to prevent direct contact with water or liquid. The module must be mounted ONLY in the vehicle interior, never on the exterior or in areas exposed to elements or moisture, as this could cause serious damage to the vehicle and module.
Locate the T-Connector's grey 12-pin connector and insert it into the mating connector on the black box-module. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Mount the 4-flat connector in an accessible location. Route it through the driver-side trim panel into the side storage compartment and store it there when not in use. If routing through a grommet and along the vehicle exterior, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire. On the driver's side, locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as an existing ground stud, or drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area.
A 7.5 amp fuse is provided and must be placed in the fuse compartment under the driver-side dash. An additional 5 amp fuse is located on the harness near the black box-module. Do not exceed the manufacturer's circuit rating, as overloading can cause fires.
The white wire is the ground wire. It must be secured to a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud, or secured using the eyelet and screw provided in a 3/32" drilled hole. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps), or maximum tail lights (5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Read your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Test and verify the 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, then re-insert the key and turn it to the proper position. Ensure all wires are properly secured and not pinched or cut during reinstallation of the threshold, trim panel, cargo net, and cover.
Before connecting the T-Connector's grey 12-pin connector to the vehicle's black box-module, verify that the mating surfaces of both the vehicle wiring connectors and the T-Connector ends match. All connector surfaces must be clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs.
Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. When reinstalling trim panels and covers, be careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
Yes, it is designed for the CR-V. Confirm the specific model year with the manufacturer or retailer.
Trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, test probe, and safety glasses.
Possibly. You may drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire if no existing ground stud is available. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and verify what is behind the surface first.
A 7.5 amp fuse goes in the driver-side dash fuse compartment. An additional 5 amp fuse is on the harness near the black box-module.
Maximum 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps) or maximum tail lights (5 amps). Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Use a test light or trailer. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing and re-inserting the ignition key, then turn it to the proper position.
