I have the Stealth system installed on a 2012 Honda CR V and really like it. The installation took about 4 hours which was a bit expensive for the labor but worth it. Got it in 2015 and have had 2 problems....one minor and one major. The major problem was operator error. I had a tow bar that was on the car rather than on the back of the motor home. The cable that connects to the car was put in under the bar rather than over the tow bar and when I hit a pot hole or? the cable worked loose and seperated which told the Stealth that the toad had disconnected which, of course, applied the brakes. The alarm went off but I was unable to pull over because of traffic. Yep, had to replace the rear brakes on the Honda. A very expensive lesson. I also had the connection/plug moved to a better location.
The minor problem was the connection/recepticle on the motor home side is spring loaded and the spring snapped. Thankfully I noticed that and used a bungee cord to hold the cable in place. Brake Buddy immediately sent me a new cap. However, I still use a bungee just to be sure. It gives me a better feeling of security. ??And it is so easy to apply the bungee.
In spite of the problems, I really like the system. Just plug and go.
Much easier to use than the older Brake Buddy box which I used for years before purchasing the Stealth.
