Most brake controllers crowd the driver’s knee area or dangle under the dash. This one hides the main unit behind the dashboard, leaving only a tiny knob—just 1-7/8" long and 9/16" wide—visible. It blends right into your dash like a factory switch. That single knob handles everything: adjusting brake power, hitting manual override, and showing color-coded signals for setup and status.
Uneven terrain can make towing unpredictable. The Tow-Pro Elite’s off-road mode lets you preset exactly how much braking power your trailer uses, independent of your tow vehicle. Set it low when moving through sand or mud so the trailer doesn’t act like an anchor, or turn it up on steep descents so it doesn’t push from behind. A quick double tap on the knob activates the mode, and a green light confirms you’re ready for action.
This controller uses a built-in 3-axis accelerometer to match your trailer brakes to your braking input. The result is even, proportional braking across the whole setup—no jerky starts or stops. It works with trailers that have 1 to 3 axles (6 brake assemblies) and supports both electric and electric-over-hydraulic systems. Braking feels natural and consistent every time you tow.
Wiring doesn’t have to be complicated. The included vehicle-specific harness plugs directly into the controller and your factory connector—no splicing required. The main unit can mount almost anywhere within reach of the 3' cable connecting it to the knob. Once installed, calibration happens automatically as you drive and brake normally.
The Tow-Pro Elite meets UNECE R21 and FMVSS 201 safety standards and works with both 12-volt and 24-volt systems. It outputs 9V-32V with a 25-amp continuous current rating and a maximum charging voltage of 12V DC. With its sturdy behind-dash design and compact form factor (4" x 3-3/8" x 1-1/8"), it’s built to stay out of sight while keeping your braking system steady and reliable wherever you go.

Okay, I've got something you might want to hear. Trailer brakes are a critical component of hauling and towing caravans, campers, boats, dump, or livestock trailers. When towing 3,000 pounds or more, it is a legal requirement in most states and provinces that an electric trailer brake controller be fitted. However, common brake controllers are incredibly bulky within the vehicle. Taking up leg space or interfering with safety features of the vehicle. Now there's a better way to incorporate a highly efficient electric trailer brake controller that's easily accessible.
Without compromising on comfort, aesthetics, or safety. The Tow Pro Elite. An award-winning brake controller designed by REDARC. Operates with electric and electric over hydraulic trailer brakes. And installs neatly within the vehicle dashboard or center console.
The main unit is hidden behind the dashboard and a remote head is mounted on the dash. Giving it a great look and factory finish. No more knocking your knees on the controller, interference with knee airbags, or awkward access. The Tow Pro Elite offers two modes of braking. Choose between proportional mode for highway driving as indicated by the blue LED.
Or go with user controlled mode for more off-road conditions indicated by the green LED. You take complete control of your trailer brakes. No matter the terrain, vehicle type or driver preference. A quick adjustment from your dash mounted remote head and you're on your way towards safer and more efficient towing. Never take your eyes off the road.
As the controls are always within reach and accessible in just one small compact unit. Suitable for 12 volt and 24 volt vehicles, one to three axles, and a variety of trailers. The Tow Pro Elite is the perfect solution for safer braking at your fingertips. What's more, REDARC offers a range of vehicle specific inserts and plug and play harnesses to aid in the installation..

That’s awesome to hear, and that setup looks great too. That Mini Lite behind your Grand Cherokee is a really clean combo. I love hearing how it’s actually performed for you out on the road, especially in those “oh man” moments where things could’ve gone sideways. 12,000 miles without issues says a lot. Really appreciate you taking the time to share that, and the photo too. What kind of trips are you usually taking with it, more long hauls or just getting out on the weekends?

Love this, sounds like you and your brake controller are already best friends Robert =) We’re glad the install treated you well, especially that “set it and forget it” calibration. Hard to beat. And you’re absolutely right about the mounting panel tip. That’s one of those little details that makes the whole setup look factory clean. Also appreciate you calling out the smooth, jerk free braking. That’s exactly what we like to hear. Safe stops mean happy towing.

It works great with no issues. I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado though, not a Honda pilot as the post says.

Pulled my enclosed cargo trailer 4800 miles this past year moving to Texas. Trailer brake still functions perfectly. Im sure it will work with other trailers in the future as I will now sell my 20cargo trailer.

The trailer brake controller still looks great. It works perfectly, although I don’t tow on a regular basis. When I do tow, the controller is easy to use.

Thanks for your review, Eric! It sounds like the installation took a little creativity, but I'm glad the videos and instructions helped you get everything wired up and working properly on your Durango. Thanks for including the photo of your controller setup, too. What are you towing with your Durango?
