The CURT Echo In-Line Trailer Brake Controller is truly a brake control for the modern age. It plugs into your vehicle and wirelessly connects to your smartphone, allowing you to control and monitor all trailer brake activity right from your own device. It comes with a customizable app for Apple or Android.
Most things in this day and age can be accessed or controlled from a smartphone. With the Echo, that includes your trailer brakes. Echo is powered by a Bluetooth-enabled system that connects right to your smartphone. Your phone becomes the brake control monitoring unit in the cab of your vehicle. There is no need for extra modules, controls, buttons, or knobs.
The Echo Trailer Brake Controller comes with a custom-designed app that can be downloaded for iOS or Android OS phones. With this app, the wireless brake control is able to connect to your smartphone and display brake control settings and activity. It also sends you status updates and allows you to receive incoming calls while the app is running. Note: If Bluetooth connection is lost, the brake controller will continue to function safely, using the most recently programmed settings.
The Echo In-Line Brake Controller operates using a triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer – an integrated circuit that produces smooth, safe stops every time. It is compatible with two to eight trailer brakes (one to four axles) and can be used with low-voltage or PWM wiring systems. Echo is also compatible with cruise control and ABS brakes and has built-in reverse-polarity protection and short-circuit protection. It’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
