Okay, I promised an up date when I got the DirectLink brake controller installed. The installation is very easy and straight forward if you already have the four wire Delphi harness and connector (same thing the Prodigy controller used). It determines the make of vehicle and type of trailer brakes it's connected to. I've only logged about 110 miles towing with it, and so far no problems. It doesn't seem quite as smooth as the Prodigy controller was but I'm still fine tuning this one. I like the trigger (in stead of a panic button) and the color readout is a nice touch. I don't need that trans temperature read out as my truck already has that. The braking is truly proportional even when backing up. The display has three brightness levels but the brightest is too bright at night and the mid level is too dim in the daytime (I'm getting very nit picky here). Bottom line… I like it but I'm not sure I'd pay the full price for one if I already had something that was working satisfactorily. I lucked into a bargain price and I like to try new electronic devices (a trait left over from my previous life). I'll post additional comments as I gain experience with it.
