Since you are interested in this unit, you should look closely at the Ready Brake versions. I have the Ready Brute Elite and it works.
The dash light on my version works off a magnetic switch that activates when the brake-cable lever is pushed by the surge unit. So, technically, it does not positively identify when the Towed brakes are being applied. It only indicates the surge unit moved the lever.
I'm OK with that because I see the cable adjustment at every stop and feel (or lack thereof) the Jeep back there.
14,000 miles towing including to West Coast and back and I have yet to feel the Jeep bump the MH.
If this type Blue Ox system is new, it may be that NSA (Ready Brake maker) has cut into their sales enough that they had to copy this system?
