Note: If Bluetooth connection is lost, the brake controller will continue to function safely, using the most recently programmed settings. This brake controller is not compatible, but will not interfere, with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

One-Step Installation

The Curt Echo is unique for its plug-and-play installation. With no wiring or permanent installation, setting up the Echo is a breeze.

Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller Installation

The main unit plugs into the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and then the 7-way trailer connector plugs into it. Use the included strap, found inside the cap, to secure the Echo in place. It will help ensure a constant connection between vehicle and trailer.

That done, download the OneControl app on your Apple or Android smartphone and wirelessly pair the unit to your phone via Bluetooth, following the in-app instructions. It should take about 5 seconds for them to pair. Once paired, the LED light on the unit will turn a solid blue. Plug in your trailer's 7-way and let the whole system calibrate for another 5 seconds. When the LED turns green, configure your desired trailer brake settings in the app and save it as a profile. Then you're ready to tow!

Note: If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, check out our exclusive 7-way upgrade kit for brake controller installation (ETBC7L - sold separately).

Towing with Your Smartphone and an App

Besides the crazy-easy installation, the Echo is unique for giving you control of your towing through your smartphone. You can set the maximum braking output, adjust the braking sensitivity, apply the manual override - all from the OneControl app.

Completely wireless, the Echo connects to the app via Bluetooth. You can save multiple towing profiles in the app, a big plus if you have a fleet and want to be able to just select a pre-set configuration and get towing. And don't worry; after you've downloaded the app, you don't need to have data on to use the app with the brake controller. You'll be able to receive calls and texts and access your other apps.

OneControl App

Simple, intuitive, and user-friendly, the OneControl App makes it wicked easy to manage your settings and control your trailer.

1. Manual Override

This big orange button in the middle of the app is your manual override. Press and hold the button, and the brake controller will smoothly apply the trailer brakes without applying your vehicle's brakes. This is perfect for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in an emergency.

Quick tip: Put manual override right at your fingertips by adding this button (C83HR - sold separately) to your dash. The app must be running for the button to work, but it can be in the background while you use other apps on your phone. The button has an adhesive back and runs on a replaceable battery.

2. Brake Output Indicator

The outer ring gives you a visual indicator of how much power is being applied to the trailer brakes. This is determined by your max output setting.

3. Max Output

Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop.

To set your maximum braking output, tap this button and increase or decrease using the + and - buttons. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes.

4. Sensitivity Level

This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the max output level. This is a great adjustment to make when you're towing a heavy load and the trailer will need more umph to bring it to a stop so it doesn't push your vehicle forward.

Just like max output, if you need to change your sensitivity level, use the + and - buttons. If your vehicle takes too long to come to a stop, increase the setting. If it stops too abruptly, lower the setting. You may also need to adjust the sensitivity based on your own preferences, or when the trailer load or road conditions change.

5. Vehicle Hazard Lights

If you turn on your vehicle's hazard lights, there's a chance the trailer brakes will pulse on and off as the lights flash. Turn this setting on any time you activate your hazard lights to prevent this problem.

Save Multiple Trailer Profiles

Curt Echo App saves multiple trailer profiles

Get on the road faster by saving your settings. With the app, you can add and store multiple profiles for both trailers and vehicles so that your preferred settings will be ready to go as soon as you hook up. This is perfect if you own a fleet and don't want to have to reset the controller every time you swap out trucks, trailers, or drivers. You'll have the ideal settings saved and waiting for you. To switch between profiles, just swipe left or right.

OneControl: One-Stop App for Towing

If you like the idea of monitoring your trailer from your phone, the other OneControl systems could be a great fit for you.

The Curt True Course (C94VV - sold separately) is an advanced Bluetooth sway control system that automatically triggers the trailer brakes (independent of the vehicle's brakes and the brake controller) when it detects dangerous trailer movement. The Curt Tire Linc (C54VV - sold separately) Bluetooth TPMS monitors the temperature and pressure of your trailer tires. All of these systems use the OneControl app so you can manage all of them in the same place on your phone.

LED Status Indicator

The LED indicator light on the top of the plug-in module will show you when the brake controller is connected. You can also check the LED for simple diagnostics when you need to troubleshoot.

Weatherproof Construction

Because the Echo mounts outside the vehicle, it's designed for maximum weather resistance. The unit is filled with an epoxy resin that seals off the internal components from moisture and the elements. The Echo also has a soft locking tab for connecting to your 7-way plug that reduces vibration and helps ensure a constant connection.

What is Proportional Braking?

Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes hard; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.

The Echo uses an internal 3-axis accelerometer to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to ensure that your trailer slows at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Works almost as advertised. The strap to hold it into the 7 pin from the tow vehicle does easily break, I have to use zip ties to secure, but more important blue tooth connection gets dropped from time to time. Not a huge issue on flat or uphill towing, but downhill if I loose the ability to apply brakes on the trailer and not use the tow vehicle brakes is important for safety!I am considering having a hard wired system installed for that reason.

by: Reid10/11/2025 One Year Later

An outstanding product! Works for many different trailers from my camper to my box trailers to my utility trailer to my flatbed trailer to my boat trailer, with all kinds of loads from very light (1k lbs) to very heavy (12k lbs) in all kinds of weather from tropical heat to coldest winter wet/snow/ice conditions. No need for extra wiring for a brake controller on my ‘19 Suburban with tow package but not wired for electric brakes controller.

by: Frank10/07/2025 One Year Later

This has worked great. I use it with rental trucks so, even though they have brake controllers built in, I can use this unit with my settings that work for my boat. I have a profile set up for the boat on the trailer and another for the boat off the trailer since the hard braking needed for the heavy boat makes the tires smoke when it’s empty. I recommend this.
Note: if the unit loses Bluetooth, it still works with your last programmed settings so there’s no safety issue there

by: Duane08/23/2025

Cannot get the app to work with the controller, after reading the numerous reviews on this controller im not the only one that has had issues with it. It has a very low rating. Should have researched it better before buying it. I’m to the point now of just doing without a brake controller altogether. Now I have a $250.00 paperweight.

I will admit to not being a fan of this controller as I prefer to use my phone as a phone and I have heard people say there were issues with the app. Guessing you have probably done this already, but try them one more time just to make sure. -Check Echo LED status for power. -Input PIN from label or quick reference card. Enable Bluetooth or grant permissions. Check smartphone compatibility. -Select trailer profile, tap the Echo device name, then tap the trash can icon to remove. In OS Settings, go to Bluetooth connections and 'forget the device'. If none of that works still, let me know and I can get a return label sent out to you for a full credit. I saw you had previously returned a Redarc controller due the hardwiring part of the install, but would you be open to another option?

by: Oscar 06/23/2024 One Year Later

Purchased this brake controller as I had a specific trip where I was going to be at the limit of tow capacity for my Toyota Tacoma. It was a 4000 mile round trip. The ease of setup and use has made this controller a standard item whenever I am towing. The additional safety provides me a sense of security and confidence whenever I have even light loads to just haul around town.

Amazing product and APP!
Moved from WV to WY pulling a heavy trailer with a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. Did not have time or money to install a permanent brake actuator in the cab, but I found this controller online. It works amazingly and did not break the bank to purchase. Definitely recommend!

I'm not sure which video you are referring to, but we do mention on this page that the Bluetooth PIN for initially pairing to your smart device is located in the quick reference guide. We try to get everything in our videos, but we do occasionally miss things. Did you get it paired and working?

by: Nick09/19/2025 One Year Later

I don't get to use this often, but I love it. I've never had any issues with it and the trailer brakes work just like they would if I had a standard brake controller. Installation can't get any easier and the app works great

by: Michael09/29/2025

I just bought a travel trailer and didn't have the time to wait to get a traditional brake controller installed so I bought this. It was literally a plub and play solution. I set it up via the app on my Ipshone in about 5 minutes. Once plugged in I tested it out by going down the road a few hundred feet. I got the amount of force % brake to apply dialed in. I like the manual control as well. I sued that when going down a hill. You can also adjust the amount of force while in the app..

by: Gregory 06/08/2024 One Year Later

I have owned the Curt Echo WBC for one year now and have been impressed with the versatility of the product. I use it with multiple trailers and vehicles. My only ding is making sure to provide support for the contoller as it is heavy for the plug in and I'm always concened that it will vibrate out. So far, that has not occured.

The controller remains flawless. As I stated in my first review, my only concern was the heaviness of the plug. I have augmented that by using a large rubber band to keep it ed. So far so good.

by: Robert06/01/2025

I bought a new camper, then I needed a new vehicle to tow it. It came without a break controller, and the dealership recommended the Curt Echo wireless brake controller. I have not been disappointed. It works great and was easy to set up and use. The E-trailer company has excellent service and a helpful staff to answer my questions.

by: Tony08/07/2025

I bought this for a 2004 Excursion, using the etrailer search function by vehicle. Even though it shows it fits it doesn’t. The way the factory mounted the trailer plugs there is no room for the controller and the trailer cable. I had to disassemble the hitch bracket to make enough room for it to fit. The other issue is the little strap broke the first time I removed it.

by: Joe10/04/2025 One Year Later

One year in and I have found this device to be an excellent product. I've recommended it to all my RV pals as an easy way to get your tow vehicle set up for brakes. Works every time, never had a problem.

by: Greg08/29/2025 One Year Later

I think this is a neat product. My issue is we have a 36foot motorhome I purchased this for to use. It connects setting in drive way and works from drivers seat. Issue is as soon as you start moving it looses connection. I know it saves the last input but I want the ability to hit the brake button while going down a step grade if trailer was to start swaying.

by: Manuel09/07/2025 One Year Later

Worked a described, it is very handy with vehicles that rarely tow or in the case that it would require extensive labor and expense to add one. Easy to plug and play!

by: Kathy11/29/2025

Smooth transaction and fast shipping. Received regular updates on the delivery status. Haven’t used it yet so can’t rate its performance.

by: Phillip 04/05/2024 One Year Later

A great controller. It was simple to setup and use. I love the ability to use it in different vehicles ---- and no wiring hassle. Plug and play, make a couple adjustments and it worked like promised. I have showed it to several friends, who were totally amazed, had no idea there was a product like it out there. Towing a 18ft enclosed trailer with a Tahoe presently.

@Terry That is a very fair point, Terry. I think that would probably bug me as well. Have you thought about adding the Manual Override Button # C83HR? It gives that "Oh shoot" button and you wouldn't need to have the app open to use it in an emergency.

The Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller is a great product. Very easy to install and use.

by: Paul06/09/2025 One Year Later

The wireless brake system is extremely easy to program and hook up. You can dial it in to any trailer for not just the power of braking but sensitivity as well. You can program several trailers to the same unit. I have driven about 1500 miles with the wireless brake and do not even feel the 6500 pound trailer when braking. I will be honest, I was apprehensive until I used the unit. But you will appreciate how easy and consistent it is. Love it!

by: Kenneth11/03/2025 One Year Later

Easy to use and works every time. Highly recommend. One note, I did replace the rubber strip with a Velcro strip. (Gives me more security, when it is plugged in)

Do you have a question about this Trailer Brake Controller?

Troubleshooting Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller that Applies Brakes Hard
It to me sounds like an internal problem. But I would first check to make sure the wiring on the 7-way of your vehicle and trailer doesn't have a short from exposed wire. It almost sounds like the wiring from the 12 volt accessory circuit is shorting out to the output circuit when you hit the brakes which causes a quick application of full braking voltage.

Will The Curt Echo Manual Override Button C83HR Work Without The App?
Hey John, good question. The app must be running in order for the separate manual override button part # C83HR to work. If your phone is not connected to the controller with the app running, the button will not do anything.

How To Know If Your 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Has A Factory Tow Package

The wire harness would get all the signals right at the tail lights if it was hardwired in, but if it has a connector that plugs into a factory connector in the vehicle then you have the tow package and can just use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C68JR instead of having to splice in the...

It sounds like you may already have a 4 way connector on your vehicle, which is half of the battle.

Once you have a 7-way connector installed in your vehicle, all you need is to connect the Echo to your vehicle and your trailer connector to the Echo and you are good to go. All the settings can be adjusted from the Echo Smart Control App, so there is no need to add any additional mounts or knobs inside the cab of your vehicle....

Adding 7-Way Connector to 2020 Hyundai Palisade
We definitely have what you need to equip your 2020 Hyundai Palisade with a 7-Way connector, however there isn't a single part number available for this vehicle to accomplish this. You will instead need to start by adding a 4-Way harness (if there's not one already present). For this the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR will work perfectly. This custom harness will plug right into an existing port behind the Palisade's rear bumper on the driver's side. I have attached...

Troubleshooting Intermittent Curt Echo Brake Controller Trailer Connection Error Code
If you are seeing a message that says trailer disconnected that would mean that the Echo # C51180 is not connected to the trailer at all and would not be able to control the brakes. If this is an intermittent issue then most likely it's just a bit of corrosion on the pins of your trailer connector that is preventing the connection from being made. Typically just taking some sandpaper to the pins of the connectors fixes this issue.

Recommended Brake Controller for a 2017 Coachman Pursuit BH33
Hey Dj. Not sure what you mean when you say you're missing the gain mechanism. Gain's a setting for adjusting the sensitivity of your trailer's brakes.

What is Required to Use Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller
To use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 your vehicle only needs 12 volt, ground, and turn signals connected to its 7-way socket. What this means is you do not need the brake signal from the 7-way. For example, if you used a 4-to-7 way adapter such as # 30717, there will not be an output wire from the Echo to connect to, so you could simply tie that wire off, as you can see by the accompanying diagram. Apart from that the only other thing required is that your...

Troubleshooting Jerking/Grabbing Brakes when Using Curt Echo # C51180
The first thing to check is to make sure that the sensitivity or output settings on your Curt Echo # C51180 did not change from your original settings.

At around 25 MPH, apply the vehicle's brakes. If the trailer brakes lock up or jerk/grab, decrease the max output level. Repeat this process until brakes are firm (just...
