Great addition to echo brake controller. Nice option to quickly engage emergency brake button without having to use phone app.
This product has been excellent. The connectivity is immediate, even without opening the app. My bluetooth button has always worked simply. The colored lights are simple and communicative. I love the ease and lack of setup.
On the flap, the corner of the thumb tab has broken off. Seems within regular wear and tear for towing.
It works, it is nice that you can mount it anywhere. It almost deserves 4 stars but there are two small issues with it. I wish it was a little bigger. The adhesive gave out after about 6 months on the padded dash of our Honda Pilot. The conditions are not the best though, I tried contact cement and it failed after just a few weeks. Next I'm trying some super sticky double sided tape, if that fails on to construction adhesive.
Works as advertised. We wanted to have a readily-accessible button that we could push to apply the trailer brakes if the need arises. This button is a much better solution than using a cell phone for this purpose, as the phone sometimes goes to sleep and hides the brake button until it's unlocked again (although the Curt Brake Controller app continues to run and function in the background even when the screen goes to sleep). When you need the trailer brakes, you usually need them NOW!
Good to have as safety net
The concept is good but the execution is lousy. It fell off and disappeared forever the 3rd time it was used. Until Curt finds a way to better secure the device to the tow vehicle beware. What a waste of money!
A must if you use the curt brake controller. Frees up your phone screen from needing to be on constantly and mounted.
Makes it easier to control than your ph one.
It just works.
Very sturdy and looks great. I installed it myself laying on cardboard over my gravel driveway. It ws very tight with the drilling and all but if I, a 62 year old geezer can do it, so can you!
This brake controller saved us a lot of headaches. Last year while in Houston TX for the winter our Chevy Colorado was totaled. Trying to find another one to replace it was a nightmare. Our old one had the heavy duty tow package with built in brake controller. We searched a 300 mile radius around Houston to find one with 4 wheel drive ( we live in northern MI ) and what we got was this one, basic truck. it did have a light tow package but no controller. I found this one, so I didn't have to do any wiring. Down loaded the app. to set it up and it works GREAT. The only thing I did was added a zip tie with the rubber strap. We are pulling a 4800lb. Travel trailer.
It arrived in a timely manner. And it was easy to connect to the app on my phone. But, I can't yet speak to how well it works, as I have not pulled the trailer yet. I certainly do like the concept of not having to search for my phone if there is a sudden need for emergency braking.

I engage the manual override button every time I pull my Airstream. However, fortunately, I have so far had no need to use it in an emergency braking situation. I appreciate the confidence that a manual button provides that I can quickly use it in an emergency.
Works well with the Echo Bluetooth brake controller. Like to keep my phone free for other things so this device is a great option.
I can't use, it doesn't connect to the back of my 38" Motorhome

The brake controller that is recommended for your 2021 Entegra Reatta is item # RED44FR. It is a universal product so it will need spliced into your motorhomes wiring.

You mentioned that the Echo controller did not work and I wanted to ask a follow up question. Can you explain in more detail how it did not work?
I had a question about my order. I emailed etrailer and got a response back almost immediately. Etrailer has great customer service.

Works great when phone screen closes.

Im sorry to hear that the adhesive is not working well. I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they confirmed that any type of double sided tape should work, like 3m.
