Hi,
I have a cx-9 signature 2018. I want to install a brake controller for my pop up trailer with electric brakes.
All brake controller instructions I found are telling us to wire to brake pedal signal.
I think it's not suitable for this car since it would not pickup brake signal when cruise control is automatically braking the car. Same issue with automatic emergency brake system.
This could result in trailer jack knife if car is automatically breaking hard and trailer brakes are not applied.
I found suggestion about tapping the center brake light signal instead of brake pedal signal. Anyone know how to Hook to the center brake light signal from the dash area? I don't want to run a wire back from tail gate to brake controller for this purpose.
Thanks.
FranK.
