I just wanted to share two issues we had with the Brake buddy that might be of interest to other newbs.
1. We had to special order a different attachment for the brake pedal for our Subaru cross track. What came with the BB evidently doesn't fit everything.
2. When you first plug in the right buddy a green light come on, and it wouldn't come on. We figured out that maybe it was needing a charge, so we kept it plugged in, but detached it from the brake pedal and turned it sideways (for safety's sake - we didn't know what it would do if it suddenly started working again) for the 25 minute drive home.
When we got home, it was charged up again because of the green light was on. I'm not sure what drained it down. My husband might know, but he's not around right now.
