I would rather deal with an inconveniently mounted Porportional brake controller than a cheap mopar time delay controller that sucks in comparison when it comes to safety and perfoemance. Cheaply made and overpriced to have a flush mounted so-so brake controller.
I suppose if you use it twice a year then it's fine, but for an avid user....go beyond the factory controller.
Doesn't have to be a Prodigy or mounted under the dash.....lol

The Hayes is also a proportional controller. Same as the P3.

The Dodge version is also not a time delay model. It's tied into the stability system.

iRockCrawler, you have a 2009, right? I am waiting to buy a Prodigy until I find out whether the 2010 part can be made to work in a 2009 Ram.

We don't even know if it will work in a 2010 without a flash of some kind. As mentioned in the past threads, the Ford controller install needs a flash to make it work and the GM's cannot be added at all.

I just picked up my 2010 and it had the class 4 hitch with 4/7 pin connector in back installed from the factory. I went under the dash hoping to plug my controller in but don't see a blue plug anywhere. Had an 04 and 07 so know what it looks like. Anyone know if its different? Dealership had no idea.
