IIRC The discontinued one "BrakeSmart" tied into the hydraulic line of the master cylinder.
Many old controllers connected to the hydraulic system and worked pretty good. Some were OK to use with anti-lock brakes, but folks wouldn't read the instructions to see which ones would work, so they quit making all of them for the general public.
Jordon connected to the brake pedal and worked OK.
Brakesmart connected to the brake hydraulic system and worked great.
MaxBrake did the same and they were great.
Sales were low and all three went out of business. Folks would not pay more or do more than absolutely necessary.
Now we have factory integrated controllers that connect to the brake hydraulic system and they work great. It's such a shame that folks could have had great performing controllers for more than twenty years. Now with the factory controllers being more or less forced on them, they are just now discovering what a few of us knew all along.
