REDARC has launched the Tow-Pro Link, a Bluetooth-enabled brake controller designed to streamline trailer braking through smartphone connectivity and a dedicated wireless remote. The Australian-manufactured unit connects between the vehicle harness and standard 7-pin connector, requiring no drilling or dash modifications, with installation taking less than 15 minutes. The system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration alongside a physical Bluetooth remote for redundant control access.
Highlights
- 6-axis SwayStop Plus sensor measures pitch, roll, yaw, and lateral movement for automated trailer sway recovery with a single button press.
- Dual braking modes include Everyday Mode (proportional) for standard driving and Manual Offroad Mode for steep descents, sand, mud, and uneven terrain.
- 55% smaller than the leading competitor with a waterproof IP-rated, ultrasonic-welded enclosure and moisture-controlled venting.
- Tow-Pro app enables brake light testing, sensitivity adjustment, and over-the-air firmware updates via Bluetooth.
SwayStop Plus Advances Sway Mitigation
The Tow-Pro Link features REDARC’s updated SwayStop Plus system, which automatically applies trailer brakes when sway is detected. The built-in 6-axis sensor continuously monitors vehicle movement across all planes of motion. By tracking pitch, roll, and yaw alongside forward and lateral acceleration, the system delivers earlier and more precise brake response than traditional single- or dual-axis configurations. Drivers can activate one-touch sway recovery while keeping both hands on the wheel.
Connectivity and Control Options
The Tow-Pro app provides direct access to braking adjustments and diagnostics through a Bluetooth connection. Key app functions include:
- Brake light testing without requiring a second person
- Sensitivity adjustment for varying load conditions
- Over-the-air updates to keep firmware current
Native Apple CarPlay integration brings Tow-Pro data and select controls into the vehicle’s existing infotainment display. The included physical Bluetooth remote ensures all essential functions remain accessible independent of a smartphone or infotainment system.
Installation and Build Quality
The Tow-Pro Link is engineered for plug-and-play installation. The controller mounts between the vehicle harness and the 7-pin connector, while the Bluetooth remote head powers via USB. Its compact, waterproof design supports multiple mounting configurations, including a simple cable-tie option.
Manufactured and tested in Australia, the unit features an ultrasonic-welded enclosure with moisture-controlled venting to protect internal components from water, dust, and debris. REDARC has built power management and towing products for more than 45 years.
