This might be a little too technical yet, but I haven't seen any reference to it. Does anyone know if there will be a pigtail from the brake wire that will allow a quick connection to a trailer brake controller?
In Australia they are working with Redarc on a trailer brake control option
This is the unit I installed in my Tacoma, so that would be super convenient.
And logically could be installed in the blank in lieu of the headed seats control in most vehicles in Australia as I assume this would be the least ticked box unless you’re from Tassie. That’s where I figured I’d put mine.
Yeah nah.
Yes. I would like o permanently switch the stop start off and re-use that spot for pretty much anything else
There is a lot of empty real-estate either side of the audio volume knob too.
You've drive the vehicle so you might have an answer for this but I was thinking you could put a wireless pad on top of the dash where the emergency lights are located. I like the idea of putting in HSBC connectors next to the start stop. My defender, let me translate it for @Krabby, my pretender has usb-c in the back of the front seats for passengers. Might Jerry rig something up for that too.
There is a flat section right in front of the driver that has a rubber mat on it. you could easily mount something there
Yeah, although having had to grab that sucker in a hurry once before, I like it up high above the handbrake and gear shift well out of the way of those if I have to find it in a hurry.
The new ones are progressively tuned, the harder the car brake rhe harder the tow brake. It’s got a numbered dial you stune to get the feel you want for normal operation. I’ve got the older version without progressive op and it’s bloody hopeless.
I have the Toyota HUD in my RAV4- it's really nice, and waaay safer than looking to the center of the dash for fast information. I was thinking this same thing- if for nothing more than speed. I haven't seen any of the aftermarket ODBII HUDs, but they seem to have a bunch of maybe not useful stuff.
Yes that was my original preference
I am hoping agents will have replacement panels for the dash, as I want to be able to return to standard but would like to put Redard controller one side of the audio volume knob and a USB power outlet the other side. Also need somewhere to put the microphone plug for a hidden UHF radio.
