Mounting panel creates a factory look for your Toyota or Mitsubishi's dash when you install the control knob from your Tow-Pro Elite or Liberty brake controller. Drilling template and self-adhesive tape included.All of the Redarc products I find excellent. The controller control knob gives a factory OEM finish and the controller works the best of any I have tried.
Parts arrived FAST and I could not be happier with the installation and final look of the brake controller. It truly looks like it was installed at the factory. I painted the embossed words on the switch panel so it would match the other switches.
MUCH better fitment than the OTHER mounting panel that was labeled as "universal". Given the previous one was not universal-i ended up paying additional shipping charges on both items (adding up both items-incurring $[XX]+ in cost for a simple plastic piece was frustrating)- all due to it NOT being universal as advertised.
On the panel the works "TRAILER
BRAKE" are not highlighted.
I painted the panel white and sanded the face so the words are easier to read.
I bought a new Bronco Sport which does not have a factory brake controller option. I found the next best thing. a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite. I did not want the traditional box hanging under the dash as there is a knee air bag there. This unit can be mounted anywhere and in any position, with just a tiny knob to control it. I put the knob in a blank area in the headlight switch. Looks like it was factory installed! I took it for a test drive and it works perfectly, nice smooth proportional braking.
I have the Towpro Liberty and a 2018 4Runner. The specs for the switch said 2019 and above but it doesn't seem like much has changed. This trim piece fit well, but the switch itself was wide so I had to lightly dremel some of the side parts of the hole it went in, that said the trim piece has tabs at the top so it was all perfect. Looks great!
This was the solution I was looking for. I didn't want to mess up my Highlander's dash with something clunky. The whole system works perfect and I couldn't be happier.
I am very careful with anything for my Taco. I had to install a brake controller to tow a double axle trailer with electric brakes. The Redarc Elite was not only easy to install it exceeded my expectations in its operation. Above all the control switch for it looks as good as a factory install. Nice job.

Operates as designed.
It’s a pretty simple part. Of course it works fine. Love the controller.

Still great
Will buy from again! great company website very easy to navigate quality products at a fair price And great communication and fast shipping
Perfect fit in our 2020 Toyota 4Runner. Saved me from drilling out an exiting switch blank, so if I were ever to remove the controller to sell the truck it could easily be returned to stock.
Oddly, the trim bezel that comes with the TowPro Elite to go behind the control knob won't fit properly, as the knob can't be depressed when it's in place. No matter, as it's not needed anyway and looks fine without it.

Still pleased with how this switch fits and integrates into our 4Runners instrument panel. I wasnt certain that using the far left side blank would prove convenient rather than the partially hidden one to the right of the steering column thats closer to hand, but it has proven to be a good, readily accessible place for the control knob. Also loving the RedArc TP Elite controller. Strongly recommend it. Note that while the application list shows 2009-2012 4Runner for this mounting panel, it fits perfectly in our 2020, and should therefore fit MY2010-2022 models, since they use the same switches and blanks.
Fits nice, looks like factory installed.

Still love it.
great to see the factory look inserts for the 4runner! looks so much better than the bulky controller sitting under the steering wheel
I wanted to follow up and thank you for your help! I was able to install the Redarc brake controller with no problem! Thanks for your assistance and recommendations.
One note...There are not a lot of late model Land Cruisers on the road. Toyota only sells about 3-4,000 a year so finding videos and guides for installation is a bit of a challenge. I found some FAQ's on etrailer.com but the information seemed inaccurate or at least not very helpful.
I know the LC comes with a two package and is prewired but it takes some doing to locate it. I remember directions and I found some install help on another site and that helped.
In any event, I appreciate your help. I have attached a photo of the installed Redarc!
Fits the cutout on the 2023 Tacoma panel.
Makes for a clean, professional installation.
Ordered for/installed in my 2016 4Runner Trail Premium. Exact fit for the vehicle OEM switch blanks. Fit the RedArc TowPro Elite brake controller perfectly, just need to NOT install the plastic grommet that comes with the Redarc as that’s for use without this custom switch bezel. I used White-Out to paint the recessed lettering. (Glob it on, wipe surface with alcohol to remove excess). No complaints for fit and function. Looks OEM.
Part fit perfectly in desired location. Looks like a Toyota factory made part.
Mounting panel insert for Redarc Tow Pro Elite brake controller installation
This insert is for a 2020 Toyota Tacoma and is pre drilled for the Redarc Tow Pro control knob. Just snap it in place where the blank insert was located, eliminating the need to drill holes in the original insert panel. Makes the job neater, quicker and professional looking. See accompanying photo.
I am very happy with all the products I have received from eTrailer

Easy installation
2017 Toyota Tacoma SR5 dual cab V6 4x4. Installation was simple enough to DIY. The additional purchase of the control knob face plate was a good choice. Excellent customer service and communication from etrailer!
Rob helped me order all the items necessary to get a electronic brake controller installed on my 2017 Tacoma. Installation was easy and looks professionally installed. Great service! etrailer has always been great to work with. Online videos are very helpful.
Flawless!
We have gone on over 7trips with our trailer which almost Max's out the capacity of our Highlander and it only took 2 stops to adjust the trailer brakes, from then on it has performed flawlessly on every occasion, even through the mountain roads of Colorado. The best part, it looks stock and nobody knows it's there.
