CURT 51180 Echo Mobile Bluetooth Wireless Trailer Brake Controller

The CURT Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller is a Bluetooth-enabled device that wirelessly connects to your smartphone, allowing you to control and monitor all trailer brake activity directly from your device. This innovative brake controller brings modern convenience to towing with its portable design, simple installation, and weather-resistant construction.

Smartphone Control:

The Echo connects via Bluetooth to a custom Smart Control app available for both iOS and Android devices. The app allows you to monitor brake activity, receive status updates, adjust brake settings, and store multiple vehicle-trailer profiles—making it ideal for fleet vehicles or owners with multiple towing setups. If Bluetooth connection is lost, the controller continues to function using the most recently programmed settings.

Plug-and-Play Installation:

Installation requires zero tools and no additional wiring harnesses or modules. The Echo simply inserts between your vehicle and trailer 7-way RV blade connectors, creating a non-invasive T-connection. This design makes it extremely portable and easy to transfer between different vehicles. The unit features a retention strap and locking tab to ensure a secure connection in the 7-way socket.

Advanced Performance:

Equipped with a triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer, the Echo delivers smooth, responsive stops whether traveling uphill or downhill. It supports two to four trailer brakes (one to two axles) and is compatible with both low-voltage and PWM wiring systems. The controller also works seamlessly with cruise control and ABS brakes, and includes built-in reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection.

Weather-Resistant Construction:

Engineered to withstand outdoor elements, the Echo features a potted enclosure filled with epoxy resin that seals internal electronics from moisture, dirt, mud, and debris. This construction ensures long-lasting durability through rain, snow, and extreme conditions while also reducing vibration.
