Question:

Are there any brake controllers out there that are wireless and are easily removed from my 2018 Toyota Sienna? I don't really want to have one installed all of the time because I'm not going to be towing all that often. If there is one available and you can point me in the right direction that would be great!

We have the perfect solution for you! The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 plugs directly into a 7-Way connector and is controlled through a bluetooth connection to your Apple or Android. The Echo Smart Control App is free and compatible with an Apple OS that is 8.0 or newer or an Android OS that is 4.4 or newer.

If you currently only have a 4-Way connector on your 2018 Toyota Sienna, like the T-One # 118498 for an SE or T-One # 118648 for a non-SE, then all you need is the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L. This comes with a 4-Way/7-Way connector adapter and all of the wiring and connectors that you need to work with the Echo.

I also recommend using a phone bracket like the Windshield Mount and Vent Holder # PC03 so that you can concentrate on driving but your phone is within reach if you must use the emergency brake feature.

I have attached some installation videos for you to check out so you can get a better idea of how the Echo works.
