Hi Tom,
The alert system for the ReadyBrake is an option, and it is a wire system (it turned out on my 40' pusher, running that wire the length of the motorhome was the toughest part of the whole installation job!!) They suggest connecting this wire in the toad to the brake switch. I had a wire back at the taillight, so I connected it there on the side of the diode that was just hot when the foot pedal on the car was depressed. Then you run the wire to the dashboard of the motorhome. I ran the wire right through my standard harness so I didn't have another wire to worry about at hookup. The indicator on the dash is a small red led that works just fine.
Hope this helps.
