Tekonsha P3 brake controller

[Antiquesman Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Antiquesman]

This is probably the next thing I will buy for the prado. ARB quoted me $275 for the unit and $180 to fit.
On Ebay they sell for $176 (no wiring kit) - $229 (with wiring kit).
Obviously I am not going to buy from ARB, but is the $180 a fair price to fit?
Does anyone know of anywhere selling these units cheaper?

I would think the $180 is a fair enough price to install if materials are inclued ( fuses, wiring etc ) - I was quoted $200 from the place I bought mine from, and twice that from a mobile auto electrician local in my area. You might find however the ARB install price is conditional on you buying the unit from them.
I am going to fit mine myself, there's plenty of info on this site on how to do it.

The ebay price for the P3 seems Ok, I paid $188 for my P3 off e bay. ( local pick up from a guy down in Mornington )

Re: Tekonsha P3 brake controller

I wouldn't pay $180 to have it fitted. It took me 1 hour to install mine,and I don't do it everyday like they do. That sounds like a labour charge for two hours. Although it would probably include the wire, circuit breaker and relay.
