The Problem
The Danger of Uncontrolled Towing
Towing heavy caravans or trailers without a calibrated electronic brake controller puts immense strain on your vehicle and severely compromises safety.
Trailer Sway & Jackknifing
In sudden braking conditions, an unbraked trailer will push the vehicle sideways, causing dangerous sway.
Overheated Brakes
Your vehicle's primary brakes will quickly overheat and fade when tasked with stopping three tonnes of extra weight.
How It Works
Safe, Smooth, Proportional Braking
The Tow-Pro Elite actively measures your vehicle's braking force and applies the trailer brakes accordingly.
- 1
Active Accelerometer
An internal multi-axis accelerometer detects exactly how hard your vehicle is decelerating on the road.
- 2
Proportional Application
In 'Everyday' mode, it automatically applies proportional braking voltage to the trailer, matching your foot pressure.
- 3
Off-Road Override
Switch to 'User-Controlled' mode off-road. You choose the exact level of braking force applied regardless of inertia.
- 4
Discrete Dial Control
All this is controlled effortlessly via a tiny dash-mounted dial containing a helpful colored LED diagnostic ring.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Proportional and User-Controlled?
Proportional mode senses your vehicle's braking force and applies the trailer brakes equally (best for highways). User-controlled mode applies a set level of braking force decided by the dial, which is safer on steep, slippery off-road tracks.
Will the dash dial look out of place?
No. The Tow-Pro V3 features a modernized, shorter control dial that seamlessly integrates into switch blanks on modern dashboards for an OEM look.
Is calibration difficult?
Not at all. The V3 features 'Active Calibration' which constantly calibrates itself while you drive normally, independent of the trailer.
Does my car need to be 12V?
No, the Tow-Pro Elite V3 operates efficiently on both 12V and 24V systems, accommodating practically any tow vehicle.
Can I install this myself?
It is highly recommended that a qualified auto electrician handles the installation. We ensure correct wire gauges, circuit breakers, and safe integration with your vehicle's braking loom.
Where is the main unit hidden?
The compact main processing unit can be mounted in any orientation securely behind the dashboard, completely out of sight and out of the way of your knees.
