Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System Installation - 2014 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi there CRV owners. Today in your 2014 Honda CRV, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Brake Buddy Stealth supplemental braking system. Your braking system is one of five main components you'll need when flat towing your vehicle behind your motorhome. In addition to your braking system, you'll need your tow bar, which is the connection point between your motorhome and your vehicle, your safety cables, which is a supplemental connection between the vehicle and your motorhome, your base plate, which provides a connection point for your tow bar on your vehicle, and your diode wiring, which takes all the lighting signals from your motorhome and transfers them to the lights at the back of your vehicle. And this is what our braking system looks like when it's installed. Now, they don't call it a stealth for no reason, it does hide very nicely and provides almost no impact on the looks of the vehicle when it's installed.As far as the cleanliness out of all the braking systems out there, this one's going to give you the cleanest looking install. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2014 Honda CR-V- Video
Today on our 2014 Honda CRV we're going to install part number RM-88400. This is the Roadmaster brake light relay kit for towed vehicles from Roadmaster. The first we need to do is find the cold side of the brake switch, which means the wire that we need to use only is active when we hit the brake pedal. We'll also have to remove this panel right here, a little knob, twist it and it comes down and pull off to the side. We'll follow our brake pedal up to our switch right here and you can see the wires coming out of the back of the switch. We'll take a tester and ground to the sheet metal underneath and we'll go ahead and test the blue wire to verify that's the right wire. That's the cold side of the brake switch. We'll cut that in half and put a butt connector on each side. more

Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Installation - 2014 Honda CR-V- Video
Today on our 2014 Honda CRV, we'll be installing the Roadmaster InvisiBrake supplemental braking system for towed vehicles part number RM-8700. Now to begin the install, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake system will need to find a suitable mounting location for the InvisiBrake box. On this application, we're going to mount it on the driver's side underneath the driver's seat and we move the seat all the way forward the InvisiBrake box will sit underneath the seat and not come in contact with the seat whether it's move forward or backward. Before we mount the box, we want to make all of our wiring and vacuum line connections first. Next, we'll take the L-bracket and attach it to the brake pedal using the hardware provided. We'll start with the L-bracket at the furthest setting from the firewall laying out the cable as it will route along the firewall and over towards the driver's side threshold. Now, we have a good idea of where the cable will route and our pulley will sit, we'll need to mount the air cylinder. The air cylinder will mount underneath the threshold for the second row seating. more
