i have the brakebuddy vantage (red box), sits on the floor of the toad (our jeep wrangler).

you CAN run it w/out a remote
and you DONT necessarily have to have the break-a-way connected (some minor additional wiring).

the breakbuddy (classic, vantage & vantage select models), & the blueox (patriot) all work the same way - via an inertia or pendulum type switch (like many brake controllers).

the REMOTES for the BrakeBuddy & Patriot have remotes to indicate when their activated and so you can change the "gain".

I've pulled our toad more 24hr straight (either w/out stopping or w/out disconnecting while we slept in a rest areas) and never had a problem starting the jeep.
