Parts Needed To Use Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller On a 2020 Acura MDX Without a Tow Package
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I recently added a Curt hitch and wiring adapter to my 2020 Acura MDX that did not have the tow package. I also added the 4 way flat to a 7 way connector as my horse trailer has a 7 way connector. Will I need to do anything else required to purchase and use the Echo brake controller?

I do see the Receiver # C13146 and 4-Way # 118628 you got from us for your 2020 Acura MDX. Depending on if you got a 7-way like our Kit # ETBC7 which includes the wiring needed for a charge line or just an Adapter # 37185 will decide what all you need to use the Curt Echo # C51180. If you only have the Adapter # 37185 you are going to need enough 10 Gauge Wire # DW02508-1(sold by foot) to run from the battery to the 7-way, Circuit Breaker # 9510, two Ring Terminals # DW05740-1 for connecting the circuit breaker and a larger Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 to connect to the battery terminal.

If I would use the wireless brake controller. Do I still need to run a power wire from the battery?
