I just purchased a 2013 Premium Outback CVT and plan to tow my 1350 lb. pop top trailer. I had a MT 2006 Outback that I used for years to tow this trailer and had an electric brake controller and a 7 pin plug receptor which were installed in a hitch/receiver shop. However, when I went to this same shop which has installed 4 electric brake controllers on cars for me over the last 20 years and asked to have a Tekonsha Prodigy 2 controller installed, they took a look at the 2013 Subaru and would not do it. I have received the same response from 5 other shops. It seems it has to do with some problem they have getting brake and turn signal lights to work.
I am curious if anyone has actually had an electric brake controller installed on a 2010+Subie in Marin or Sonoma County, California, and if so, how much did it cost? Also, has anyone actually had U-haul successfully install an electric brake controller in a 2010+ Subie and how much was it and what type was it? Finally, has anyone done the installation themselves including installing the 7 prong receptacle? Thanks.
