Auto handbreak for rangers, anyone tried it out on a US model?

[DutchRanger]

RA ranger, in Australia, made a new harness that automatically applies the hand break when you put your truck in park. Has anyone installed it here in the US? https://raranger.com.au/products/automatic-e-brake-nextgen-ford-ranger-raptor-everest

When I park my RR at a friend's house on his steep driveway the parking brake automatically engages when I put the tranny in park.

I have to manually release it when I leave.

I like that feature.

I ordered it, but it hasn't shipped yet.

If it's like their sensor guards, when I ordered them last year, it'll probably be around 2 weeks before I see it show up at my doorstep.

It isn’t something that appeals to me, but a buyer should be aware - if you already have an Automatic Idle defeat kit installed, that unit may interfere with the installation of this new module. Will they “piggy back” without issues, and is there enough room to secure all the extra wiring and two little boxes at the location?

John, what is the automatic idle defeat kit?

 

[superj]

i believe he meant the auto start/stop kits that defeat that system on the trucks.

Sorry, here is a link, it works fine on our USA trucks. I ordered one the day I got my RR home….

I actually have the auto start stop harness from RA ranger(works great). I'm guessing they wouldn't make something that's not compatible with their own gear...
