Recommended Brake Controller for 2015 Mercedes Benz G Wagon
Updated 04/29/2020 | Published 04/28/2020 >
Question:
Ive got a 2015 Mercedes G Wagon with a tow kit installed. The dealer says the brake harness is installed and connector is under the dash. What brake controller would you recommend? Im looking for unobtrusive. Maybe something I can take in and out as we dont tow most of the time.

Helpful Expert Reply:
I have a great brake controller for you but we actually don't have a plug in harness for under the dash of your 2015 Mercedes Benz G-Class.
Instead I recommend the Curt Echo, part # C51180, which plugs into your 7-way and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. There's nothing installed inside the vehicle at all so it's never in the way and you just pull it out of the 7-way and store it somewhere like the glove box when you're not using it.
