Wireless Brake Controller Question

Hi all. Did some searching but couldn’t find and answer, sorry if this had already been asked.

My last truck didn’t have a stock brake controller so I installed a wireless Tekonsha Prodigy. I now have a 2017 Tundra with a brake controller already built in but I don’t want to use, I love my wireless.

Do I need to disconnect the stock one to use the wireless? Will they interfere with one another? Towing safety is my number one priority so I want to do this right.

Thank you in advance!

 

Anyone?

 

Called both Tekonsha and Toyota dealer, no dice. Has no one ever dealt with this?

 

I'd assume you'd need to disconnect the OEM brake controller. Never heard of a tundra with a wireless version. Your truck is wired for it so I'd just sell the wireless and get a new controller and plug and play and get the ESP trim piece for it.

 

That was kind of my thought as well. Today I decided to plug it in and see what happens. With the trailer plugged in, the stock brake controller didn’t recognize it but the aftermarket one worked. I hope it was as simple as that and that I don’t find out down the road that somehow one does interfere with the other
