Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this mounting panel. This is going to allow you to mount the control knob for your REDARC Tow-Pro Elite trailer brake controller. Now, when you're mounting your control knob on the brake controller, probably the most nerve-wracking part of the whole installation is trying to find a place to drill a hole into your dashboard or console, wherever it is that you're wanting to mount that control knob because once you drill that hole, you can never un-drill it. So it's a little bit nerve-wracking.
If down the road, you want to remove the brake controller, switch it out for a different brake controller or something like that, you're always gonna have that hole there in your dash. This is gonna be a great alternative for those of you who have a 2019 or newer Toyota. This is going to fit right into the switch blank, the square-shaped switch blank on your Toyota so that you don't have to worry about drilling any holes. You just pop out your switch blank, pop this in its place, and it's going to give you that mounting location for your control knob. So it's gonna look like it's a factory integrated component on your vehicle.
You won't have to worry about if down the road you wanna switch it out. You can always just pop this out and put the blank back in. It's a very easy, no stress option for you if you have that square-shaped switch blank in your 2019 or newer Toyota. Overall, I think this is gonna be a huge option for those of you who have that available to you. Definitely want to use that switch blank if you have it available rather than having to drill into your console or dashboard.
That's gonna be a major improvement for you. So that's gonna complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
This panel fit in my 2025 4Runner, but I had to make a decent number of modifications to install the brake controller switch. The required modifications were not the fault of Redarc. The switch was the closest fit I could find for the 2025 4Runner.
The mount looks seamless and I’m so happy I get to utilize my blank button panel in my dashboard. I haven’t used it with a trailer yet but like I said, the aesthetic is nice. The 5th gen rav has smaller square shaped buttons so it’s a pretty tight fit for the red arc controller. I have the Liberty. So I noticed I had to take the clear plastic piece that allows the led light used for communications to the user, off for the control to fit. So now I have no clue what color of any light is happening I’m sure having to guess if I’m in proportional mode or manual.
Don’t have this model just the redarc tow pro not the elite and everything is working fine and easy to install with the DIY video that you have on website.
As described. This is the one for your 2022+ Tundra, it makes for such a clean install!
It was a wrong part for the ordered controller control, promptly, efficiently replaced. Excellence from an excellent company.
This is an amazing piece! It fits my 2021 Toyota Highlander perfectly! It looks like a factory option, I am very pleased.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the dial knob really needs to have a flip up cover protecting it from accidentally getting turned while in use or make the knob push down and lock so that it can't be turned while in use. Otherwise it works nicely.
The RED48FR is only compatible with the dash-mount head of the Elite TowPro - when the Liberty head is installed, this adapter blocks the LED status light, so I can't see error codes or status. The Redarc page for this part specifies clearly that it is only for the Elite model. The e-trailer documentation does not really mention this limitation. In fact, an answer to a question shown on this part's page actually suggests purchasing this along with the Liberty controller.
Thank you for the EXCELLENT customer service and the prompt shipping. Thank you also for keeping your shipping costs reasonable and fair, unlike other suppliers who use shipping costs to generate higher profits. I really enjoyed working with everyone at etrailer, and found the videos to be invaluable! I have always HATED to work on vehicles, but, thanks to the courteous assistance of your customer service crew, my installation of the brake controller went perfectly.
Nice little convenient add-on to make mounting easier and more sanitary.
GOOD FIT, LOOKS LIKE IT CAME WITH THE CAR LOOKS AND FITS GREAT
Very informative site. Very quick service. And excellent fit.

I am sorry to hear this does not work for your Liberty. This dash mount specifically is meant for the Tow-Pro elite controller, while the other option of # 331-TPSI-001 is made for the Liberty.
