The CURT Echo mobile trailer brake controller revolutionizes your towing experience by incorporating Bluetooth technology, enabling a seamless wireless connection between the device and your smartphone. With this innovative controller, you can effortlessly monitor and manage all trailer brake activity right from your device. The installation process is exceptionally straightforward, featuring a plug-and-play design that allows for easy transitions between vehicles, plus a robust construction that ensures durability against environmental conditions.

Designed for the modern user, the Echo brake controller connects directly to your smartphone without the need for additional wiring harnesses or modules. All you need to do is download the Smart Control app onto your Apple iOS or Android device, plug the Echo into your vehicle's 7-way RV blade plug, and you are set to begin towing. The Smart Control app also enables you to create multiple profiles for different vehicle-trailer combinations, accommodating a variety of towing scenarios.

The installation of the Echo is a hassle-free plug-and-play experience. Specifically engineered to be inserted between the vehicle-trailer wiring connection, it is compatible with any standard 7-way RV blade plug. This feature allows for quick and easy transitions between different vehicles, making the Echo a perfect choice for both fleet owners and individuals with multiple vehicles.

Constructed to endure the elements of the great outdoors, the Echo mobile trailer brake controller is built with durability in mind. It features a potted enclosure—an epoxy resin that encapsulates the internal electronics, providing protection against dirt and moisture. This design not only enhances longevity but also minimizes vibration, ensuring consistent performance.

To guarantee a secure connection, the Echo includes a retention strap and locking tab on the connector port, which firmly secures it in the vehicle's 7-way socket. The CURT Echo controller utilizes a tri-axis circuit that delivers smooth braking, whether you are ascending or descending a hill. It can operate two to four trailer brakes simultaneously, accommodating both one and two axles, and is fully compatible with cruise control and ABS brakes.

In terms of portability, the Echo trailer brake controller offers a non-invasive installation that effortlessly transfers between different vehicles. With just a simple plug into any 7-way connector, it wirelessly pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Compatible with both Apple and Android smartphones, the Echo brake controller transforms your device into a user-friendly brake management interface through the Smart Control app. However, it is essential to avoid distractions while driving; adjustments should only be made when the vehicle is stationary. In the event of a lost Bluetooth connection, the Echo brake controller will maintain safe operation by using the most recent settings programmed.

The installation process requires no tools, additional wires, or complex hardware. Simply plug it into the 7-way trailer wiring connector, and the locking tab and strap will keep it securely in place (note that the strap is stored inside the cap).

With a triple-axis accelerometer, the Echo guarantees highly responsive braking, ensuring safety even when the phone screen is locked, receiving calls, or losing Bluetooth connectivity. This versatile electronic trailer brake controller accommodates virtually any trailer with one to two axles (two to four brakes) and works well with anti-lock brakes and low-voltage systems. It does not interfere with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, making it a perfect fit for modern vehicles.
