Product Summary

The CURT Echo mobile brake control is a Bluetooth-enabled brake control device that wirelessly connects to your smartphone and allows you to control and monitor all trailer brake activity right from your own device. It features a simple, plug-and-play installation on your vehicle, a portable design to easily switch between vehicle-trailer combinations and a highly durable construction to outlast the elements. Powered by Bluetooth, it wirelessly connects to your smartphone without any extra wiring harnesses or modules required. Simply download the Smart Control app on your Apple iOS or Android OS device, plug the Echo into your vehicle and you're ready to start towing. The app allows you to create multiple vehicle-trailer profiles for different towing situations. Installing the Echo brake control is truly a plug-and-play experience. It is designed to insert in between the vehicle-trailer wiring connection and is compatible with any industry-standard 7-way RV blade plug. This design also allows the Echo to be easily transferred between vehicles, making it perfect for fleet vehicles or multiple-vehicle owners. The Echo mobile brake control is built to withstand the outdoor elements, whether you're towing through rain, snow or sunshine. It features a potted enclosure and is filled with an epoxy resin that covers the internal electronics and seals them off from dirt and moisture. This promotes long-lasting durability and also helps reduce vibration. To further enhance moisture and vibration resistance, the connector port of the Echo is equipped with a soft locking tab to connect to the 7-way connector. The CURT Echo mobile brake controller operates with a tri-axis circuit for smooth stops going up or down a hill, and it is able to operate up to two to four trailer brakes at a time (one to two axles). It is also compatible with cruise control and ABS brakes. Made in U.S.A.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. If the blue tooth plug does fall out, do I have to get a new system or can I just get a new plug 

    1 answer

    1. The internal circuit board of the Echo is completely "potted" (sealed in a solid resin/epoxy compound) to make it weatherproof and durable, meaning individual internal or external plug components cannot be accessed or swapped out. You can replace external soft parts like the rubber security retention strap (CURT part #51186 or #C28HR) if it breaks or falls off, but not the molded electrical plug interface.

  2. does this take the place of the wired in trailer brake controller that you mount under the dash or do you need both?

    1 answer

    1. This mobile brake control would take the place of the wired in trailer brake controller.

  3. Are you able to lock the device to prevent theft?

    1 answer

    1. The controller comes with a locking tab for holding the controller in place. To prevent theft, please remove the controller after each use and lock it away in your vehicle.

  4. Will this controller power electric over hydraulic brakes?

    1 answer

  5. "up to two axles?"

    I am looking to use this so I can pull a gooseneck trailer with my semi tractor. Will it provide enough juice to power the brakes on 2 tandem dual axles? The trailer is rated for 40,000 lbs.

    1 answer

    1. This CURT Echo brake control is able to be connected to up to 4 brakes. If you are only using 4 brakes on your tandem dual axles, this would work. If you have more than 4 brakes, it would not work.
