Brake Controller Question Gmt-900

[Blue2500CC]

Has anyone used a 4 wire trailer plug under the dash so they can remove the brake controller when not in use on a GMT-900? Part of my thinking is I would like to upgrade to a newer inertia style controller in the future which would make the upgrade easier.

 

I know what will be posted- "Upgrade now!" Reason I am not upgrading right now is I have a brake controller (Draw Tite Activator) and the wife's job is looking iffy at the moment.

 

Also, it would allow me to remove the controller to prevent any banged up knees getting in or out of the truck.

 

TY!

Chris,

 

Here is the brake controller I use. You can unplug the harness from the back of the controller and get it out of your way. Etrailer.com also sells the right wiring harness to hookup the controller to your vehicle. Give them a call if you can't find the right harness on the web site. They also supply installation instructions. There are cheaper controllers but this one really works well.

I use the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller. It can be removable if you wish as well. There are lots of threads on here about this subject as well.

I also have a P3, the wires unplug and it can be used with the easy detach mount.... but I'm over 6' tall and have no issues with my controller mounted right above my right shin (just below the lower kick panel there is a black piece that is perfect for mounting.
