The CURT Echo mobile trailer brake controller is a Bluetooth-enabled device that wirelessly connects to your smartphone and allows you to control and monitor all trailer brake activity right from your device. It features a simple, plug-and-play installation, a portable design to easily switch between vehicles and a highly durable construction to outlast the elements. The Echo brake controller brings your towing experience into the modern age. Powered by Bluetooth, it wirelessly connects to your smartphone without any extra wiring harnesses or modules required. Simply download the Smart Control app on your Apple iOS or Android OS device, plug the Echo into your vehicle and you're ready to start towing. The app allows you to create multiple vehicle-trailer profiles for different towing situations. Installing the Echo trailer brake controller is truly a plug-and-play experience. It is designed to insert in between the vehicle-trailer wiring connection and is compatible with any industry-standard 7-way RV blade plug. This design also allows the Echo to be easily transferred between vehicles, making it perfect for fleet vehicles or multiple-vehicle owners. The Echo mobile trailer brake controller is built to withstand the outdoor elements, whether you're towing through rain, snow or sunshine. It features a potted enclosure. This means the interior of the Echo is filled with an epoxy resin that covers the internal electronics and seals them off from dirt and moisture. This promotes long-lasting durability and also helps reduce vibration. To further enhance the connection, the connector port of the Echo is equipped with a retention strap and locking tab to firmly seat in the 7-way vehicle socket. The CURT Echo mobile brake controller operates with a tri-axis circuit for smooth stops going up or down a hill, and it is able to operate up to two to four trailer brakes at a time (one to two axles). It is also compatible with cruise control and ABS brakes.

Beats the hard-wire route!
We just bought a new travel trailer with electric brakes and needed a brake controller. I didn't want to deal with wiring issues and came across the Curt Echo. The first one I purchased didn't work but the return was easy with my receipt. The new one worked great - it took all of 45 seconds to download the app and plug the device into the back of my SUV. For those that aren't mechanically-inclined by need a brake controller, this is a great option!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Would not work with 2017 Ford F-150
In theory, great idea! It would not work with my truck because of how the factory wire harness is configured. I wish they would say this in the description or on the packaging. It does mention that it is incompatible with late model Ford F-150 at the end of the directions. I would have to bring it to an authorized installation location and paid to have it wired in. defeats purpose. Hope it works for you!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Great product
Great for us! Easy to install, great to use!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Easy to install works but has a drawback
Download app on phone and plug onto 7 wire on truck and then plug trailer in to "adapter". It works through Bluetooth on phone. If Bluetooth lost it reverts to last setting when you brake but you loose manual control of trailer brakes. Kind of a big draw back when something flashes across screen. Very simple to install and can be move from truck to truck. Also if you use phone for something else you loose your manual control. App stays open all the time while using so will want to be charging. Drove Florida to Maine with it. Just loosing app at times is a big drawback over having a hardwire system. Otherwise works great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
