The Hidden Hitch Prodigy features new motion sensor technology similar to what is used in the aerospace industry. With the Prodigy brake controller no manual level adjustment is necessary, it adjusts itself to varying terrains as you drive. It is equipped with a sensor that detects the tow vehicle's rate of deceleration, applies proportional braking to the trailer and features an exclusive "BoostSM" feature that gives users the ability to apply more initial trailer braking power (especially when towing heavier trailers). For backing into tough spots this is the only inertia control that works proportionally in reverse. A digital display depicts voltage delivery to the trailer during braking and displays continual diagnostics check for proper connection, shorted magnet condition, open ground and much more. A unique pocket mount allows for flexible mounting options (standard mounting bracket included). The Hidden Hitch Prodigy includes a 3 ft. pigtail connector for ease of connection when using a vehicle's brake control wire harness. A quick and easy disconnect feature allows users to remove the control when not in use and store in a supplied protective pouch. Prodigy meets National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations regarding tow vehicle/trailer light activation. It also offers a limited lifetime warranty. This control is not designed for use with electric-hydraulic trailer brake systems

- Works When Backing Trailers: The only inertial control that works proportionally in reverse - great for backing into tough spots.
- Easy To Read Digital Display: Digital display depicts voltage delivery to trailer during braking.
- Automatically Runs Dignostics: Continual diagnostics check for proper connection, shorted magnet condition and much more.
- Unique Boost Feature: Exclusive "boost" feature gives users the ability to apply more initial trailer braking power when towing heavier trailers.
- Power-Saving Mode Reduces Drain On Battery When Vehicle Is Not In Use.
- Easy To Install: Pre-assembled wire harness for simple hookup and unique pocket mount allows for flexible mounting options.
- Quick Disconnect Feature: Quick and easy disconnect feature allows user to remove and store the control when not in use.
- Made For Up To Four-Axle Trailer Brake Systems.
- Meets N.H.T.S.A. Regulations regarding tow vehicle/trailer light activation.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty.
| Brake Controls |
| Brake controls are designed to apply the brakes of the towed vehicle (trailer). There are three types of brake controls on the market today timed, inertia, and proportional. Another type of braking system that is used for trailers is a breakaway kit. Timed Controls Timed based controls generate an output signal that increases over a period of time. The time based controls apply braking power at the fixed rate that is not proportional to the pressure applied to the brake pedal. Inertia Controls Inertia based controls work very much like Timed based control in that they apply braking power at a preset rate during normal stopping conditions with one very important difference. Inertia controls have a patented "Automatic Over-Ride" system with a separate power supply for unexpected high speed stops. Proportional Controls Proportional based controls offer a smooth braking response to almost any stop. Through the use of a sensing device, the brake control can determine the tow vehicle's rate of deceleration and then apply the trailer brakes to match. In other words, Proportional controls deliver power to the trailer brakes in direct relationship to the actual physical deceleration of the tow vehicle |
