Recommend a brake controller for a JKU?!

[Fireman78]

HI Folks, which brake controllers would be perfect for installing on a 2015 JKU ? Any suggestions? Cheers..

I bought and installed this using a JKU specific wiring harness from E-trailer. Works great pulling my fully stocked RT10 pop up camper and makes all the difference in the world.

I run a Tekonisha P2 in my JKUR, mounted right behind ignition key. Out of the way of your knees and shins, easy to adjust and hit the manual control, and works perfectly!

I have the Tekonsha 90195 P3 Electronic Brake Control with the matching wiring harness. In the WK2 is not much place under the ignition button, hence the idea to hide it in the media slot console area ...

P3 or go home. Seriously does anyone use anything other than Tekonsha ?

Tekonsha P3. As Tekonsha used to be the provider for Ford's OEM solution, they seem to know what they are doing something correctly. I mounted mine just below the left lower speaker. It's not really in the way and easy to adjust.

Awesome thanks guys. It looks like I will have to attempt this one myself. I have taken it to three places and nobody would touch "A Chrysler product" with anything electrical. (My Jeep only has a 4 blade). I think that is the issue. Not sure.

Is this it? (the harness)

I got mine ('12 JKUR) from the dealer for like $80. It's plug and play and comes with acceptable directions. Strangely, they have you run it up the driveline tunnel, but it does have heat protection in some key places. I've had it in mine for over 4 years with no worries.

The only part of the entire process that blows is having to tap the brake light switch for the controller itself (I HATE HATE HATE tapping into OEM wiring harnesses) but again, it's been there for over 4 years with no concerns.

I added a fuse for the controller at a minimum as I don't much trust electronics...

I went with the Mopar harness specific for the JK. It comes with good directions and plugs right in. I can find a link later.
