REDARC Electronics is expanding the capabilities of its Tow-Pro Link electric brake controller with the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. This new feature brings Tow-Pro Link functionality directly onto a vehicle’s in-built display, delivering a familiar, OEM-style interface for safer and more intuitive towing control.
Launched in early 2025, the Tow-Pro Link set a new benchmark for simple, reliable, and safer towing with advanced features including SwayStop Plus, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB powered remote head, and a rugged, compact form engineered for fast installation and the harsh realities of Australian conditions.
Designed to mount discreetly near the tow bar, the Tow-Pro Link’s 6 axis braking sensor, dual braking modes, and automatic sway recovery via SwayStop Plus have already positioned it as the most advanced towing safety solution in its class.
Now, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration added to the feature list, drivers can access Tow-Pro Link settings directly through their existing infotainment systems, just as they do for navigation, music, and vehicle information. The result is an intuitive experience that mirrors factory vehicle controls.
“Our customers told us they want towing control to feel more intuitive,” said Jaidan Watson, Tow-Pro Product Manager. “Connecting the Tow-Pro Link with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes it feel like it was built into the vehicle from the factory, while enhancing the simplicity and safety that define Tow-Pro.”
A Familiar Interface with Essential Safety at the Forefront
While some brake controllers allow touchscreen based manual override, REDARC maintains a firm safety position: SwayStop Plus and emergency braking must be controlled through the physical remote head. In a critical moment, drivers need something they can reach instinctively, without navigating menus or relying on a digital display.
Whether towing a caravan through the outback, hauling equipment cross country, or navigating technical terrain with a trailer in tow, Tow-Pro Link continues to deliver reliable safety and control in every condition.
