I went to my friend at the local trailer repair place. Wanted him to make me an appointment to get the electric brakes on the new to me TK1.
He takes a look at the jeep, walks into his shop comes out and hands me bluetooth operated brake controller ... no need to "mount" or wire a brake controller inside the jeep. The really cool thing, if I need to use the trailer with a different vehicle, just move it and my phone to the other vehicle.

This thing is amazing. Plug it into the 7 prong plug in the Jeep, plug the trailer 7 prong plug into it, pair it with my iPhone and Voila, brake controller. Couple of test rides ... minor adjustment on output and sensitivity ... and firm brakes and just enough trailer lead to be perfect.
Technology is pretty incredible. Never fails to amaze me.
