Folks......Im looking for advice from anyone who has added a brake controller to their Cayenne.

 

We already tow the boat with no issues but just added a travel trailer thats 4500lbs.

I thought the controller came built in with the tow package. But I guess not. Here is what I found on the web:

And here is a good thread on Rennlist on the topic:

Follow up for those interested; I bought a Teknosha Prodigy 90250 which is their RF brake controller.

Using a RF device has many benifits the biggest for me is not having to splice into the factory harness and you dont hard mount a device above the footwell .

 

The handheld RF unit essentially plugs into the 12v source near the driver and mounting the controller on the trailer. Following a number of modified steps you pair the 2 together so when sensing the brake pedal is depressed the electric brakes on the trailer operate. Its then a matter of fine tuning the trailer brakes so they dont lock then off you go.

 

If interested in the 'modified steps' I can further explain (newsletter article?) :)

 

Now the question is how to get the trailer and the boat to the lake?...........I know, buy another Cayenne!!!!!
