New Brake Controller - Recommendation.
I've been struggling with an issue regarding my brakes on my 5er for the last year. I've had the brakes redone - without magnets, and replaced the wiring from the tongue to the brakes themselves ...

Really, no one can say which one is the best unless he has tested all the ones available. I don't think many people have tried a time based, inertial sensor, Brakesmart/Maxbrake/Jordan, and OEM integrated.
Even then...so subjective and as normally say, there is no one size fits all here
The loyalists who say because seamless, no jerking, banging and stops
as 'one'. MC PSI sensed say that. Jordan say that. I say that with a P3
Boils down to liking what you have, pure and simple.
To chastise others for not having what you love is a blind loyalty
On another brake controller thread of recent...the OP says he is ASE
certified brake mechanic and his first comment on the MC PSI based
of mine was to gravity bleed and exactly my point. As that is what I'd
do to any hydraulic brake line opened up to atmosphere...but...the
instructions of those MC Sensed controllers do NOT instruct to do so
and only instruct to bleed the new stub line to the sensor
Telling on the fastidiousness of that OEM's engineering both in braking
systems and that they left a cantilevered stub line with a weighted
end (that sensor) without fastening it to prevent fatigue failure
Key to that seamless, no jerk, no bang and stopping as one is to have
the trailer brake's lead the TV brake's. Of course both the TV and trailer
brake systems need to be in good order.
Most who complain about jerking and banging have either or both their
TV and trailer brakes in need of attention. All the way to needing
a new harness with larger gauge wires and better connectors for the trailer
