Bear Essentials

Hi Collin, Just had my Van in to Kedron and found that the breakaway system requires 12 volts to be supplied from the 7 pin trailer plug (pin 2 ) to keep the internal battery of the breakaway charged, if battery goes flat breaks engage! It was identified that my socket was not providing power to pin 2, the way to check if yours is connected is to ensure that the red LED is on when van is connected to your vehicle. An emergency solution is apparently to connect a battery to the red and black terminals on the breakaway unit to get the brakes to release. Hope this assists Best regards, Peter.

Hi Barra Pete, Many of the newer type Next G phones can be connected to an external antenna by purchasing a BURY brand car kit, this kit has a passive connect type antenna couple which works very well, it has adaptors to suit nearly all new smart phones including I phone and Blackburry. The cradles may be interchanged if you upgrade to a newer phone. While the complete car kit enables you to charge your phone also, it is not necessary to connect it all if you just want the antenna feature. Best to Google BURY as there are many kits available. Once installed you can then set up the Iphone as a "wireless hot spot" and connect your PC via wireless (WiFi). Providing you have a data pac on your phone plan, this way you have both phone and Internet / email available on 1 antenna If not the Next G wireless USB modem (blue one) has an external Next G antenna input and you would have received an adaptor plug when purchase so you can simply connect direct to the antenna plug Hope this assists Regards, Bear Essentials (Pete)
