My new elite is said to arrive in a week or two and I found out my prodigy will not work with hydraulic brakes. Is this true? The dealer suggested the voyager but it does not seem as good as the prodigy. On online stores some of them say the prodigy will work on hydraulic brakes. What controller would you guys recommend?

the tekonsha P3 will work with both kinds of brakes, and if you already have the prodigy it will take about 30 seconds to install.  you can get one on ebay pretty resonable.  i did a "report" on mine, i have electric brakes though.

I have an Elite with E/H brakes too. No, the prodigy won't work. :(
I got a Hays Lemerz controller that has digital readout, which is what I liked about the Prodigy. The readout makes it much easier to adjust and switch over from my little electric braked trailer to the larger E?H braked one. I bought it online.
