Tropical36 is right, there is NOT any pulley involved in the ReadyBrake installation. Brake cable goes straight through the firewall and up to front of vehicle, no pulleys involved. I don't believe there ever was any pulley.
I think that was an oversight - Because SMI uses a pulley, someone probably just assumed ReadyBrake does as well. That needs to be updated.
As to Readybrake offering a 'wireless' system: I think that is referring to the DL-200 wireless brake indicator that Readybrake offers.
That, or the fact that their dashboard LED indicator now connects to the tow bar actuator arm, and there is no (electrical) wire between the toad and MH for the indicator. That may be where the 'wireless' part comes from.
I agree, that its very hard to keep a list like this up to date. If its not, though, it can become misinformative, and lead people to make bad, misinformed decisions.
