Which Curt Echo is Better? The Inline or Under Dash
Question:
2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E Is there a performance difference between the Curt Echo Under Dash and the Inline controllers? I would think it would be best to hook into the provided Honda wiring but I guess that is my question

Expert Reply:
Hey Jon, so in theory the inline Echo Mobile part # C51180 and the under dash part # C27JR should perform the same but we have found that the under dash version works a lot better so it would be the way to go. Overall performance and connectivity just is more consistent. It's also not easy for a thief to potentially steal like the C51180. Which to install it in your 2023 Honda Ridgeline all you would need is the part # C51392 and you'd be set.
