Proportional Braking

With a proportional brake controller, you can get heavy-duty emergency braking, general braking or slow-to-an-idle braking for your trailer automatically. The intensity with which your trailer brakes are activated and the rate at which they are applied are dependent on the deceleration of your tow vehicle. This means that, unlike time-delay controllers, which send the same amount of preset power to your trailer brakes every time, proportional controllers are able to adapt to every braking situation differently. So, if you slam on the brakes in your truck, your trailer brakes will activate with that same extreme intensity. And if you merely slow down as you approach a red light, your trailer will gradually brake in the same manner. Just set the initial power level, and you're ready to go.

Using a series of accelerometers, gyrometers, and a sophisticated computer program, this brake controller will sense how your tow vehicle brakes. The internal sensors respond to the deceleration of your tow vehicle as you brake by signaling the controller to send out enough power to your trailer brakes so that they are activated with an intensity that matches. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Trailer-Mounted Brake Controller

Autowbrake brake controller mounted on A-frame trailer

The Autowbrake mounts completely on the trailer. There's nothing in the cab to get in your way, so you don't have to worry about banging your knee on the controller as you enter and exit your vehicle. With most in-cab brake controllers, there's a bulky unit that must be installed and connected to your vehicle's brake light switch. You have to determine where to mount the unit in your cab and make sure it doesn't interfere with lower airbags. The Autowbrake removes all of that hassle. It's convenient, out of the way, and works in all tow vehicles. Because it doesn't wire into your vehicle at all, the Autowbrake will work with any vehicle, whether it has an older standard wiring configuration or a newer PWM or multiplex system.

The fact that the Autowbrake installs on your trailer - and not in your vehicle - also means that you can switch back and forth between different tow vehicles with no additional setup. For instance, if you lend the trailer to a friend or co-worker who doesn't own a brake controller, all he or she has to do is plug the trailer into the tow vehicle and the Autowbrake will be ready to go.

If your friend's tow vehicle already has its own integrated brake controller, that's not an issue either. When the Autowbrake senses another brake controller, it automatically goes into sleep mode. There is no need to disconnect the unit. No additional action is required. This gives you the flexibility to use your trailer with almost any vehicle without issue.

Autowbrake Operation

The Autowbrake features different settings that you can select to tailor the unit to your trailer and to your desired braking sensitivity.

First, you will need to select one of the weight-based settings. This will ensure that you have the proper amount of braking power for the load you're towing. When selecting a setting for your trailer, the Autowbrake's LED light will blink multiple times to signify the different settings.

The light will blink 3 times for Setting 1, 6 times for Setting 2, and 9 times for Setting 3. This way you will be able to confirm that the unit is properly calibrated based on the weight of your trailer.

Setting 1: up to 3,500 lbs
Setting 2: 3,500 lbs - 6,900 lbs
Setting 3: 6,900 lbs - 12,000 lbs

Adjust Autowbrake power levels with key fob

Once you have the correct setting selected for your trailer, you can choose between 5 different power levels to get the desired amount of braking power and aggressiveness for your setup. If you're towing a heavy load, the braking intensity required to stop that load may be far greater than what's needed to stop your vehicle. Increasing the power level will enable your trailer brakes to reach maximum braking more quickly. This allows you to have better control of your trailer, ensuring that it won't push your tow vehicle before coming to a complete stop. Using the included key fob, you can adjust the power level either when the tow vehicle is stopped or while you are driving.

Thanks to the Autowbrake's Smart Start feature, there's no need to re-adjust the settings every time you tow. The unit will always remember the last towing setting, even after it's been disconnected. This means that you can store your trailer away for the winter, and when you're ready to use it again, all you have to do is plug your trailer back into your tow vehicle. The Autowbrake unit will automatically boot back up to the last setting. There is no need to adjust the settings unless you are going from an empty trailer to a fully loaded trailer - or vice versa.

The manual override button can be found on the included key fob. If ever there is a time that you need to brake your trailer separately from your tow vehicle - when traveling down a steep incline, for example - just press the middle button on the fob. Additionally, the manual override can be used to help correct trailer sway while driving. To correct trailer sway, press the override button on the key fob and continue to hold the button down until your trailer falls back in line with your vehicle. Then release the button and continue towing. When you press the manual override button, your trailer's brakes will activate with the intensity of the setting you have selected.

Simple Installation

The Autowbrake unit can be mounted at any angle and in any direction using the 4 included self-tapping screws. It's best to mount the Autowbrake close to the trailer junction box, which is typically located on the trailer frame. However, it can be mounted in the location that works best for you - inside a trailer compartment, under or along the side of the frame, or inside a storage cabinet or toolbox.

Using the junction box to connect the Autowbrake wiring harness is recommended. If the junction box is not accessible or if your trailer does not have one, you can splice the wires directly into your trailer wiring harness.

Making the wiring connections is easy. The Autowbrake harness contains 5 color-coded wires:

Blue - trailer brakes

Black - power wire

White - ground wire

Green/Yellow - brake/turn signal lights

Connect each of the wires in the Autobrake's harness to the appropriate stud in your junction box. If you do not have a junction box, splice the harness into your trailer's wiring. Before beginning, be sure to confirm the wiring configuration of your trailer. Color-coding does not guarantee that the circuit you are connecting to is for the desired function. A circuit tester is recommended.

Connect the black wire to the 12-volt auxiliary power stud or wire. Connect the blue wire to the trailer brake output. Connect the white wire to the ground stud or to a suitable grounding point on your trailer's frame. Connect the green wire to the right stop/turn connection and the yellow wire to the left stop/turn.

Once the Autowbrake is mounted and installed, calibration is a 1-time process that will need to be performed by 2 people. Calibration is required the first time you install the Autowbrake, but that's it. You need to re-calibrate only if you reposition the Autowbrake or move it to another trailer. Calibration should be done on a level surface. This allows the Autowbrake to determine what the normal towing position will be.

To calibrate, turn on the vehicle ignition and press the brake pedal down. While the brake pedal is depressed, have a friend press both buttons on the Autowbrake unit simultaneously until the LED starts blinking. Once the LED stops blinking, press and release the Gain button. The LED will start blinking again. When it stops blinking, the Autowbrake is calibrated and you can release the vehicle's brake pedal.

This may be the best trailer product I have ever purchased. I did not install it but had the RV dealer do it, but the tech told me it took him about a half hour to get it done. They even set it for my trailer weight. I don't even think about it. I even had occasion to use it for an emergency stop. I was traveling and crested a rise and there was a fresh accident in front of me and I slammed on my brakes. Not one shimmy or shake, the trailer stayed straight behind me. If I ever buy another RV I would buy this again 730128

2010 Dodge Durango

this review is about the AuTowbrake Electric Brake Controller. I have used many brake controllers and i was never satisfied with any of them plus I just bought a new truck and didn't really want to start drilling holes to mount a brake control device under the dash. I read reviews and saw some videos of this one and it caught my attention. The install was simple, it took about 10 minutes. I was fortunate because my Trailex was new and had a color coded junction box. I followed the simple install instructions that came with the controller and i was good to go. The calibration process was quick and easy. Now the part i was waiting for...to see how well (or not) it actually worked. I tow a 3100 lb car on a 900 lb trailer with a durango and with my tow vehicle and previous brake controllers, there was always some discrepancy with the brake power between that of the truck and the trailer...i went slow at first and it was perfect, i stopped the trailer at higher speeds and still perfect. no pushing of the truck or tugging of the trailer. 529770

2013 Toyota RAV4

We tow our 1500 lb. Aliner Ranger with a 2013 Toyota RAV4. This vehicle does not come with any tow package provision from Toyota. The Autowbrake made using the electric brakes dirt simple. Install a 7 way plug, run power to the black power wire on the 7 way, wire the Autowbrake into the trailer wiring, calibrate, and go. Why the Autowbrake instead of the Curt or Tekonsha wireless controllers? Operating it is as simple as plugging in the trailer. Let the black box work its magic. No apps to crash, phones running out of battery, no fighting over 12v accessory ports, and no pieces to leave in a different vehicle. ***Do not run power to the blue brake wire on the 7 way, or the Autowbrake will not function. I discovered this the hard way. My photo showing that blue wire from the vehicle hooked up is what NOT to do! The brake post should be only the Autowbrake blue wire and the blue wire going to the trailer brakes. Instead, wire the blue wire on the Autowbrake to the blue brake wire (or whatever color wire powers your trailer's brakes) on the trailer. I used a junction box to accomplish this. You will also need lots of 10 gauge and 14 gauge ring terminals and a good crimper to install. There is an install kit I purchased that had almost all the terminals I needed. Calibration is simple. The instructions were spot on for this. Then, drive around to fine tune the braking force for your specific vehicle and trailer. This is easy to do with the remote. The Autowbrake fades into the background when driving. The camper stopped without drama, even during some hard stops. One quirk is the Autowbrake takes half a second to release the brakes from a dead stop. This came in handy going uphill, when I had enough time to get my foot from the brake to the accelerator. The brakes also work in reverse, which I understand is not always the case. In summary: expensive, and worth it. It's seamless once installed. It controls the brakes wonderfully. And, it only needs a power supply from the tow vehicle to operate. 757559

Using the AutowBrake Brake Controller with a 1999 Toyota 4Runner and a 1997 Toyota Previa
Installing the Autowbrake brake controller, part # 3430001, doesn't actually requrie you to make any changes to the 4-way connectors on your vehicles. All it needs to function is to be wired to the proper wires on the trailer and a constant power source. If you want, you can wire the Autowbrake's power wire (the black wire) to the trailer's running lights and then it will have power as long as you tow with your lights always on. The downside to this is you will then always be drawing...

Are Separate 12V Power Feeds Needed for Curt 4-Pole Harness and Autowbrake Trailer Brake Controller
You can install both the Curt 4-pole wiring harness # C56389 and the Autowbrake Trailer Mount Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 (and the required 7-way kit # ETBC7L) in your 2019 Buick Regal TourX but each one of these items must have its own dedicated power connection to the vehicle battery.

Do I Need To Wire The Blue Wire From The ETBC7 To Install Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller
You are correct you will need the 4-pole flat part # 118727 and the part # etbc7 to get a 7-way on the back of the Jeep to power the Autowbrake part # 3430001. The blue wire from the ETBC7 to the front of the vehicle is not needed because the Autowbrake does not use the brake light switch signal to operate. With a traditional brake controller that uses the brake light switch signal, the blue wire would be routed to the front of the vehicle to the brake controller. Then there would be a...

Is Separate Breakaway Kit Needed with Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001
The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 does not have a built in breakaway system. You'd have to have a separate system installed on the trailer for that like the Hopkins kit part # 20099.

Can Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 be Used with AEB Braking System
AEB braking is a modern style of braking system that is designed to prevent collisions. As long as the brake lights of the vehicle light up when your vehicle's AEB system is activated (it should) then our brake controllers like the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 that you referenced will work just fine.

Can Autowbrake Controller Install on Trailer with Separate Brake and Turn Circuits
You'd have to use a converter to get the brake signal and turn signals combined so that the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 can function like it was designed to. For that you'd need the part # RM-732.
view full answer...
Can I use Autowbrake With Integrated Factory Brake Controller
The answer that you read on a previous question means the Autowbrake part # 3430001 will override the vehicle's integrated brake controller because the blue wire from the trailer connector (that activates the electric brakes) is now wired to the Autowbrake. There is not a need to cut or disconnect the wiring for your factory brake controller. The Autowbrake works for up to 3 axles on the trailer. I have attached an wiring diagram for your reference.

Range of Key Fob on Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller
I spoke with my contact at Autowbrake regarding the Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 and he said that the included key fob has been tested to work perfectly 300 feet away. He said the fob likely works at even greater distances but this is as far as they have tested it. With that in mind the fob won't have any range issues with your 36 foot motorhome.

Can Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 be Powered by a Trailer Mounted Battery
You could use the trailer mounted battery to power the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001. However, it is possible that the unit will deplete the battery and you won't have any trailer brakes. The battery could receive a maintenance charge from the 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way trailer connector but if you do that you should instead just use that 12 volt circuit to power the Autowbrake.

Can Extra Key Fob be Ordered with Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001
You can order additional key fobs with the Autobrake # 3430001 that you referenced with part # FOB1. There isn't a pairing process as they are all programmed to use the same frequency.

Will Autowbrake Electric Brake Control # 3430001 Work with 2005 Ford F-250 w/Factory Brake Control
Yes you can install and use the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 with your 2005 Ford F-250. The factory brake controller will not be a factor since the Autowbrake will override any signal coming from your factory brake controller! I have linked a video review of this controller for you.

Can Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 be Exposed to Rain
The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 was designed to be mounted to the frames of vehicles that are exposed to all kinds of weather from rain and snow. It was also designed to last a long time without issue. It's very new so we don't have specific examples of this lasting for "X" amount of years but it comes with a 3 year warranty and would easily last much longer than that. As long as the tow vehicle has an active 12 volt power source for it to draw power from this can...

Can Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 Be Used with Vehicle that Has Brake Controller
If you installed the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 on a trailer it would not allow the vehicle's brake controller to activate the brakes since that circuit would not run to the tow vehicle at all anymore and would only run to the # 3430001.

Are Self-Adjusting Brakes Needed for Trailer Brake Controller
The electric brake assemblies on your trailer do not need to be self-adjusting for them to work with any of our brake controllers such as the Autowbrake # 3430001 that you're looking at. Self-adjusting brakes like the etrailer.com # AKEBRK-35-SA for 3,500 pound axles simply allow for a more maintenance-free application since they won't need to be manually adjusted like standard brakes. This feature does not affect compatibility with brake controllers.

OIs an In-Cab Brake Controller Required to Use the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001
You do not need to have an in-cab brake controller for the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 to work. The wiring on the unit will connect to either a junction box or just splice into the trailer wiring behind the trailer side connector. I have included a diagram showing the wire functions. Once it is installed you would plug your trailer into the tow vehicle and you're ready to go!

Could Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 be Used on Motorcycle Trailer
The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 basically can install on any trailer with brakes that also has a 12 volt power circuit active. Since your motorcycle wiring has the 12 volt power circuit active you'd be good.
