REDARC, an Australian manufacturer of mobile power management and towing, introduced the Tow-Pro Link — a next-generation brake controller that makes towing simpler, safer, smarter and more connected than ever. The dedicated Bluetooth remote delivers dependable braking control on every drive, while the smartphone app and Apple CarPlay/Android integration add additional flexibility, REDARC said in a release. With its plug-and-play design, the Tow-Pro Link installs with no dash modifications required.
As the newest addition to the Tow-Pro family, the Tow-Pro Link sets standards in towing convenience, safety and control, making it an ideal choice for both serious and casual towers alike, REDARC said. The system combines REDARC’s reliability with new levels of connectivity and intelligent performance. Through the Tow-Pro app, users can test trailer brake lights, adjust braking sensitivity and receive over-the-air updates via an intuitive Bluetooth connection. The Tow-Pro Link will also include native Apple CarPlay integration, bringing key Tow-Pro information and select controls directly into the vehicle’s existing infotainment system. Every essential function is also accessible through the included physical Bluetooth remote, ensuring vital functionality is never left solely up to a smartphone or infotainment system.
REDARC has updated its key safety feature for the Tow-Pro Link, the company said. SwayStop Plus offers a one-touch trailer sway recovery by automatically applying the trailer’s brakes until the sway stops, allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel. A built-in 6-axis sensor continuously monitors movement, delivering smooth, responsive braking and confident control in any environment. By measuring pitch, roll and yaw in addition to forward and lateral movement, it provides earlier and more precise brake response than traditional single or dual-axis systems, improving safety on uneven roads and during sudden maneuvers, REDARC said.
Ensuring a simple, less than 15 minute installation process, the Tow-Pro Link does not require drilling or other modifications to the vehicle’s dash or firewall. Simply connect the controller between the vehicle harness and the back of the standard 7-pin connector, then power the Bluetooth remote head via USB. At 55% smaller than the leading competitor, REDARC said it features a slim design and a waterproof IP rating, allowing several basic mounting options, including a simple cable tie option.
For when the terrain varies, the Tow-Pro Link offers two distinct braking modes: Everyday Mode (proportional braking) for smooth, consistent control in normal driving, and Manual Offroad Mode for steep descents, sand, mud and uneven terrain, providing drivers with precise braking power in even the toughest conditions.
Manufactured and rigorously tested in Australia, the Tow-Pro Link upholds REDARC’s reputation for building products that perform in the world’s harshest conditions, the company said. Its ultrasonic-welded enclosure and moisture-controlled venting protect internal components from water, dust and debris, ensuring long-term reliability.
With its blend of smart technology, safety and simplicity, the Tow-Pro Link represents a new era in towing, the company said, empowering drivers with complete confidence and control every mile of the way. For more information , visit redarcelectronics.com/us/tow-pro-link-electric-brake-controller.
