Oh, it's automatic. Our trucks are prewired to have a brake controller installed. The brake controller taps into the brake switch. When you brake, voltage is sent to the brakes in the trailer. Controllers like the prodigy sense brake force and will adjust voltage as appropriate. There's no need to do anything manual other than intial adjustments.
