Helpful Expert Reply:

An incoming call will not affect the braking of the Curt Echo Brake Controller part # C51180 in the Kia Sorento. The Curt Echo will still be operating in the background. However, you will not be able to use your phone with a Bluetooth device like your vehicle's media system or a headset because the Curt Echo is paired via Bluetooth. If you take a phone call on the actual phone it won't cause any issues.
