The cable from the break away switch to the BB may be different. They sent me the entire assembly, no charge.
the only real difference is the connection (at the brake buddy) - the brake away switches are common trailer parts - the switch/circuit is "open" when in place, and closed when the brake away pin/switch is pulled.
the connectors changed from a 2 pin mail plug to a 2 wire single female plug, it would be easy to adapt an old break away connector to the new digital classic or vantage models.

Out of curiosity what are the major differences between the classic and vantage?
operationally theyre the same - construction wise theyre different (metal box vs abs/plastic), the adjustment/pressures setting mechanism changed too but again their pretty much the same.
the new VANTAGE SELECT (red abs box) added a (user selectable) option for full or progressive (proportional) braking.
the Classic (tan metal box), Digital Classic (tan abs box) & Vantage (red abs box) models offer "FULL" braking only.
