Question:
My 2008 Range Rover HSE has a seven pin plug that faces down at an angle. Will the Curt C51180 work if it isnt horizontal? Thanks.

Hey Nat, the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 that you referenced will work in basically any position as it's internal inertia sensor does not have orientation limitations so it will work if pointed down.
