Stay updated on the status of your supplemental braking system. Transmitter installs in your towed car and wirelessly relays information about the car's braking to the monitor in the RV. Monitor with LED and audible alerts plugs into 12V outlet.
Features:
Compatible with most supplemental braking systems, the CoachLink's wireless transmitter and receiver work together to keep you in the loop when it comes to your towed car's braking activity. Simply mount the transmitter in your towed car and the receiver in your RV, and wire the transmitter according to the instruction manual. When the brakes are applied in your towed car, the transmitter will relay that information to the receiver. The receiver will then notify you, using an LED light and an audible alert, so that you can be positive that your supplemental braking system is performing correctly.

Stay updated on the status of your supplemental braking system. Transmitter installs in your towed car and wirelessly relays information about the car's braking to the monitor in the RV. Monitor with LED and audible alerts plugs into 12V outlet.Excellent product offering the ability to easily monitor the tow vehicle brake activation on a monitor right in front of you is a welcome change. Many thanks to Jim D for his idea of cutting off the LED brake indicator plug and butt connecting it to the transmitter. I took Jim's idea one step further and went to my local electronics store and purchased the same kind of plug and wired it to the SMI Transmitter. This way I can still use the LED indicator as a backup if ever needed by simply unplugging the transmitter and plugging it back into the LED. With the new plug I purchased the SMI Red Wire was connected to my new plug's Brown wire and the SMI White wire was connected to my new plugs Red wire as shown in the attached picture. Plugged it up and it worked great. So much simpler than having to splice into the SMI Duo wiring harness.
Chuck R - 01/31/2018I installed a demco air force 1 on my nautilus and purchase this monitor to replace the dumb lights that stick to the mirror of the toad. The wiring diagram for the coachlink was inconsistent with the wiring on the demco. Stupidly rather than call demco i followed the coachlink wiring. The result was it did not work. Called coachlink. They Pete great and aware of the issue. They replaced the sensor on the actuator no charge. Turns out that the coachlink also fried. I am onnthe road so i ordered a replacement which etrailer got to us. The service eas great just annoyed i had to pay another xxx$ for the second unit
Just installed the SMI CoachLink 900 Wireless Transmitter and Receiver Braking Indicator Set in my Honda Fit and Navion Motorhome. Less than 10 minute install to my existing Stay and Play Duo brake system. It just can't get any easier to have a better indication of how my braking system is performing for me from the drivers seat in the motorhome. I added an indicator light in my Honda to let me know that the Duo brake system is active when I turn on my GForce Controller.
I’m thankful etrailer has the parts I need along with easy to follow videos for installation. However, I was disappointed that although the parts were in stock it took a week before you shipped them out of your warehouse.
Everything was as you said, I couldnt be happier
Trailer service was great as always.
I haven't installed it yet as I am waiting for a RV repair man to install both it and the Demco Duo Play n Stay. I watched a video on your site and it looked like something a little more complicated for me to do. I am very impressed with etrailer's delivery speed. I was promised for Friday delivery and I got it a day early.
The wireless break indicator unit works well although it is difficult to see the power on light. Installation was a little “dicey” given the small gauge of the wiring but it went pretty smoothly.
It arrived prior to my deadline as promised. There were no instructions in the Coachlink box but I found them on the web easily enough. I have made three purchases from etrailer and have leaned on them with questions and for technical support. Messages are returned very quickly and they always are helpful. Prices are competitive. I try to order from etrailer whenever possible as they are very easy to work with and are always available with help if needed. Great company and people.
Steve F - 03/23/2018Works as described and confirms the braking effects you feel. Lights could be brighter, but worth the piece of mind.
Great product! I finally broke down and installed this Demco product after numerous efforts to get reliable feedback on braking status from the Air Force One in my toad ... seeing LEDs from the motorhome rear camera and running wires through the wiring connect to a dash light were all sub-optimum. Installing the Demco system was easy, the instructions include wiring diagrams for a number of different braking systems. Once the toad wiring was complete I located the control box where I could see it while driving, plugged it in ... and it worked perfectly! Great peace of mind, I use it as part of my pre-departure check list and glance down to get a confirmation most times I use the brakes.
Easy installation. Simply replaced the LED brake indicator previously installed on the back of rearview mirror with the wireless transmitter supplied with this kit. Transmitter was mounted (using hook and loop tape), directly underneath the SMI G-Force Controller, which is mounted on the tow-kick panel and B-Pillar (besides the driver's seat). Although it appears this location might be in the way of the hood release, it isn't. There is still plenty of room for the hood release to operate on the 2014 Honda CR-V....other models may not have room, but the 2014 Honda CR-V has room. The end is cut off the LED brake indicator and butt-connected to the end of the transmitter and plugged in. The wires were removed from the tie that secured them to the dash (just behind the steering wheel adjustment lock lever) and excess wire was tucked under the carpet, easily accessible if transmitter should need moving later. Receiver activated as expected.
We purchased the Stay N Play brake system with the wireless transmitter, and wish we had done it years ago, instead of messing with the Brake Buddy that we had before. It is so easy now to get our Explorer ready to tow behind our RV, and we like the 'instant' breaking that the Stay N Play affords instead of dealing with the 'lag' that we had in our Brake Buddy. We would definitely recommend this excellent product.
Awesome tool for peace of mind that the braking system is working properly when towing. It was very difficult to see the provided light through the rear view camera and now I know immediately when the towed vehicle brakes are applied. Easy installation I did it myself.
This wireless brake lighting monitor works perfectly with my SMI Duo brake assist system. No constantly looking at rear camera on my motorhome. etrailer videos so helpful with entire series of installs on my Wrangler for flat towing.... Tow lights, brake relay, towed vehicle battery charger, SMI Duo system, and this monitor.
The LED indicator for the back of the rear view mirror in the tow car is not always visible, sunlight, glare,etc. This unit makes monitoring the brake system easily visible.
Received product without instructions and package had been opened.
Printed instructions off of web page to install.
Product works great but very hard to see LED in writing of on control box, suggest you place LEDs out side of the writing and increase the brightness.
My wife has to check the lights because I cannot see them during the daylight hours.
After towing over 7,000 miles, this works great with no problems. Easy install. I can confirm the brake on tow vehicle is working properly each time I apply brake in MH. Highly recommend for anyone towing a vehicle with active brakes.
I am very happy with the CoachLink 900. Easy to hook up and use.
Curt - 12/09/2018etrailer.com did a great job getting my order processed and shipped. Although I'm not a big fan of UPS SurePost, everything worked out great this time. The SMI Coachlink wireless device seems to work as advertised. The install was very straight forward. I've been dealing with SMI for several years now. They have always been first rate. No I think etrailer.com if first rate also. Thanks again for the great service.

The coach link was just what I needed to go with my stay n play brake system. No longer and doubt I my mind when/if the brake activetes
Excellent product. I use the Ready Brute mechanical brake system hitch. I tow a 2017 Wrangler. This simple to install Coach Link works every time. I’ve used mine for a year now. Just plug it in and boom it works.
As usual, ordering process was simple and efficient. Item was shipped almost immediately and received as promised. I have installed the Wireless Coachlink which was simple with the included instructions and it works flawlessly. I will continue to do business with etrailer.com based on their competitive pricing and superior customer service.
Very satisfied with this product it was easy to in stall and give you a good loud alarm . I had the old SMI silent partner system and it came with an alarm so I missed it until I bought this one . Again work great and easy to install.
Just what I needed
