Echo Wireless Brake Controller

Welcome to an entirely new towing experience. The Curt Echo brake controller puts you in control of your trailer's braking with mobile, Bluetooth operation. The portable unit installs in seconds and allows you to make braking adjustments straight from your smartphone. Easily transfer the Echo between vehicles and store it when it's not in use.


Echo smart control app displays

The Echo Smart Control app is free to download and use. Scan the QR code included with the Curt Echo or search Echo Smart Control in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The app has the ability to sync up to 5 Echo devices, and the memory function allows you to save unlimited vehicle-trailer profiles. This makes it easy to transfer the Echo between towing setups.


RockerBall Shock-Absorbing Hitch Ball

a depiction of the Curt RockerBall ShockDrop technology

The RockerBall hitch ball features Curt's innovative ShockDrop technology, which is engineered to suppress vibrations and rattling while you're towing. When you hit a bump, the ball compresses around the flexible, polyurethane core. This durable material absorbs excess shock at the coupling point so it doesn't transfer from the truck to your trailer or vice versa. The result is increased control and comfort as you tow, as well as less wear and tear on your towing setup.


Friction-Style Sway Control System

The friction-style sway control included in this kit uses a telescoping bar with friction pads to fight trailer sway. Easily adjust the tension with the built-in knob to get the right amount of resistance for your setup.


measurement of friction-style sway control system location on trailer frame

When installing this sway control system, follow the included instructions and measure 24" straight back from the center of the coupler along the frame of the trailer to determine the location of the spacer plate and trailer-mounted attachment ball. To achieve proper alignment, the spacer plate may not be necessary in every application.

  • Can I Use the Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Kit w Sway Control on a Audi Q8?
    Hey Andy, welcome back! The last time we spoke you were looking at the Stealth Hitch item # 391AUDQ818T. If this is what you ended up installing on your Audi Q8 then no you will not be able to use the Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Kit w Sway Control, Wireless Brake Controller item # C57DR. The ball mount you have is not going to be compatible. You will be able to use the Curt Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180 though. As far as sway control on an Audi you're going to be limited to...

  • Weight Distribution
    For a trailer with an aluminum frame, the use of weight distribution comes down to the trailer manufacturer, to the strength of the frame, like you said, and its ability to handle the stress of weight distribution. It sounds like they are saying not to use weight distribution with their trailer, so I definitely don't recommend it.

  • Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Kit w/ Sway Control and without Wireless Brake Controller
    If you wanted to order the Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Starter Kit pat # C57DR without the brake controller you'd just need to order the individual components of the kit without the controller. So what you'd want would be the Rocker Ball # C45WR, the sway control part # 17200 and the Curt anti-rattle kit part # C22321.

  • Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Kit w/ Sway Control and Wireless Brake Controller Combo
    I would be happy to help you. We hear this complaint quite often about dealerships not wanting to install after market wiring for random reasons because they want you to purchase theirs usually. The Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Kit w/ Sway Control and Wireless Brake Controller - 2" Hitch - 7.5K item # C57DR would be a great set up for controlling your trailer brakes and addressing sway control issues. Many trailer hitches have restrictions on weight distribution systems so yours not being...

  • Replacement Air Conditioner for a 2007 Fleetwood Bounder 34F Workhorse
    I have a solution for you but you can't replace the compressor on a motorhome AC like you would in your home or car. They don't make them with ports to drain and refill the Freon so no one will be able to service them. You will need to replace the AC unit on your 2007 Fleetwood Bounder 34F Workhorse with the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup w/ Start Capacitor item # ACCOL150B. This is a 15,000 Btu unit with a built in start capacitor. The included adapter wiring...

  • Do I Have to Use the Echo Brake Controller with Curt Friction Sway Control can I Back Up?
    Hello Rob, Great questions! The Curt Shock Absorbing Towing Kit w/ Sway Control, Wireless Brake Controller - 2-5/16" Ball - 7.5K # C57DR does not need to be used with the Curt Echo Brake Controller. Since you already have a brake controller, you can purchase the other components separately. You’ll want # C45WR and # 17200. Regarding the Curt Friction Sway Control for Weight Distribution Systems # 17200, it is recommended that you remove this sway control unit before backing up/reversing...
