I just bought one for $104 total, including shipping. I didn't eBay it because I've seen several versions of the Prodigy on there, with a different model number. Since I want new and not last year's version, I figured its safest to buy new. We'll see how fast it gets here

Prodigy controllers with serial numbers below 0130001 have a software problem that causes a false open ground condition: http//www.tekonsha.com/files/Technical%20Bulletin%20-%2020020060.pdf
If those on eBay have serial numbers of 0130000 and below, they don't have the new software installed (Version 2.4). Something to ask before you buy........?

On Prodigys with serial numbers less than 0130001, if a False Open Ground is displayed, the Prodigy will still continue to provide stopping power.

Yup... just match wires with the harness (NOT by color, by function), crimp a few wires, then take the whole unit and plug it under the dash and mount the box, all done!

Like BPofMD said.. Get the correct pigtail adapter, it will plug in under the dash and plug in on the back of the prodigy. NO MATCHING WIRES, NO CUTTING, NO CRIMPING!!
