Hello Len,
I am sorry, but the Brake Buddy Second Vehicle Kit BB59SR has been discontinued and is no longer available. Brake Buddy was manufactured by Hopkins, and Hopkins had closed, I have heard word that they will be back in production because someone finally bought them, but it could be a year or so before we start seeing parts.
The good news is we can replace some of the pieces from that kit with parts we still carry. For the battery charge line, you can use the Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Line Kit # DM66VR. For the breakaway system, you can use the Replacement Breakaway System # RVI97FR.
The one piece I do not have a confirmed replacement for is the Brake Buddy Dash Mount Connector # 39342. That connector is specific to the Brake Buddy Classic II, Classic III, Select II, and Select III, and I do not want to recommend another connector without knowing for sure that it will work with your Brake Buddy.
I wish I had a replacement for that last piece, but I would rather be upfront with you than have you order something that may not work.
Did you get rid of the other vehicle you were flat towing, of really getting a second car set-up as well? Just wondering if you are able to get that 3rd piece.

I installed the second vehicle brake buddy shown on my 2025 Chevy Equinox. Coolest thing was, this was the exact same vehicle that was in the video, even the same color. The Equinox requires a battery disconnect so I did not install a battery charging system. The braking system is great ??. Hope this helps.
