Easy to install reduced the stars for now since the app is not on the android play store right now. Once it returns I will update the review.

I’m not an expert in towing or vehicle installations. I was able to perform the installation myself (though it was a little nerve wracking drilling through my leather upholstery - definitely recommend measuring twice (or 4 or 5 times) and cutting once). In my case, there is already a wiring harness behind the dash, right next to where I installed it, and I just used the wiring harness sold for my car to easily connect it.I used it to pull a 7,000 lb trailer about 300 miles last month. This was my first time towing something that needed a brake controller, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I thought this was very easy to use and helped me correct trailer sway when I needed it. Also, braking felt very smooth, and it’s easy to adjust the amount of breaking applied using either the actual hardware switch or using the app.

Short story: 2007-2014 Tundras don’t have a factory tow brake controller. 2014 looks like they could using a 15-20 controller but the software won’t take a factory module (that took some research to find, so I’ll share to save someone time). That leaves aftermarket option. I didn’t want my interior to have a hideous bolt on controller or for it to bang into my knee. I prefer the ability to manually apply brakes if needed for swaying or emergency. This controller does all that. I had to take the interior part out and grand/sand down parts to make it fit, but following the template and it came out great.It works great. I had some issue with the app, mainly it wasn’t showing in my iPhone App Store, so the first trip I used it in manual mode to make setting adjustments. It wasn’t great to set up but once it was set it towed my 34’ camper with no issues. An iPhone update and somehow now the app is available, strange but now I have the app and it makes it even better. You can easily adjust settings on the fly, and set up specific trailers it remembers. I can’t ask for anything more. I’d recommend it to others.I followed the instructions to mount. I had to trim out some parts on the backside so it fit correctly. It’s right below the “tow button”. I was concerned it wouldn’t be at the correct angle to work so I put it as high on the panel as I could. It works fine. If I did it again I don’t think I’d put it any lower, I like where it is. Putting in on the radio panel or close to it was challenging to get to for mounting purposes and I think it would be in the way. I tow only a few times a year so I didn’t want it to be in the way of anything else (phone mounts).

I really like this brake controller. I have had Tekonsha controllers in the past and have found that they are quality products. This gives the appearance of a built-in/factory integrated option, all that you see is the knob to control everything. I honestly have not used the app yet to program the controller and can't picture myself changing the settings often so I will probably just follow the manual to change things via the control knob.I have a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with the tow package. I also bought the Nissan wiring harness so installation from a wiring perspective was as easy as could be. I did screw up with mounting the knob and had to move it over an inch or two, so my brand new dash has a couple of extra holes in it (stupid mistake on my part). I bought a couple of black plastic hole covers to mask my mistake so it looks better but not great.I would highly recommend this product of you want that integrated/factory look.

Install was pretty straight forward. Spent more time chasing wires to tap the main box into, than actually installing the main box and control knob.Only thing that isn't impressing me is the knob. It's a bit wobbly (yes, it's screwed on tight). The cover ring also feels like it wants to pop off every time it's touched. But overall, it seems to work well.The app is "meh. Not sure why Tekonsha thought it would be such a great idea to FORCE registration if a user wants to sue the app. I know, I know, "Cloud storage". Meh.

This is a nice clean install looks factory. half the time it does not work. or just locks up your trailer brakes wont store data. talk to tech support they decided they would warranty the unit sent them receipt and invoice. no response. tried calling them on hold for 1.5 hours. don't waste your time or money. guess i will buy better brand and loose $200..00 not a way to run a company.

When installed this brake controller looks pretty clean. I like the fact you can store profiles for multiple trailers with multiple loads. I use this primarily with a car hauler and have settings for empty various loads. If you and connecting different trailers or even loading the same trailer differently this device works well.One thing I would have liked is if the app was android auto capable so I could use the touch screen in my truck.
