An all-in-one brake/reverse black-out module with tail flash support
Designed for traffic enforcement and tactical operations
Intelligent safety features built in
Taillight Black-Out
- Activated via console switch or via control system
- Deactivates brake light (incl. 2nd brake light where applicable), reverse lights, CHMSL/3rd brake light
Taillight Flashing
- Flash via internal flasher for standalone use or use external flasher option to flash via control system
- Internal flasher includes four selectable California CCR Title 13-compliant patterns
- Optional reverse light flash (not Title 13 compliant) can be disabled
Additional Features
- We offer several vehicle-specific plug-and-play harnesses to connect the module between the taillights and BCM non-destructively
- Second circuits available on both driver & passenger side for black-out & flashing. Supports second brake lights, e.g. newer models of Ford PIU & Expedition, or taillight insert LEDs
- Can be used with or without FasTech. Most FasTech Primary harnesses are plug-and-play with Covert Patrol
Safety Features
OEM Pass-through circuits are “normally closed” to maintain OEM functionality in case of loss of module power
Covert Mode is automatically deactivated when the running lights are turned on to prevent accidental pursuit with taillights dark
Covert Mode is automatically deactivated when the vehicle speed exceeds a threshold, allowing repositioning but preventing accidentally engaging pursuit with taillights dark
Covert Mode deactivation intelligently avoids tripping BCM taillight fault detection
Build Spec and Kitting
You will need the module, a control harness, and a vehicle interface harness.
Control Harness Options
The universal control harness works in any vehicle and is intended for installations without FasTech.
Otherwise, all Primary harnesses are capable of acting as the Covert Patrol control harness.
Vehicle Interface Harnesses
We offer a number of harnesses with plug-and-play interop with both the Covert Patrol module as well as vehicle taillights.
The 3rd brake light / CHMSL requires cut-and-crimp interception, which we include circuits for.
