7-Way Mounting Bracket for Use with ETBC7L and Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller

Question

Question:

Hello! I believe I need a bracket to mount ETBC7L to my square bar U-Haul hitch on my 07 Touareg. Do you have a recommendation before I purchase this and the curt Bluetooth brake controller?

Hey Ray, so we have the part # 18159 which would work great to secure the 7-way of the # ETBC7L that you'll be installing with the Curt Echo # C51180. It's also pretty easy to install too.

Thanks, Jameson! My hitch is hidden under the bumper so not sure this would work. Any other options?

@RayF I'd attach it to the lower edge of the rear bumper with a bolt on bracket like the part # 18138 instead.

@JamesonC does the ETBC7L come with a similar bracket? So technically I would be able to just use the provided bracket on the bumper? Just making sure I’m not buying extra parts
