One-Step Installation
The Curt Echo is unique for its plug-and-play installation. With no wiring, modules, or knobs to install, setting up the Echo is a breeze.
The main unit plugs into the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and provides a port for plugging in your 7-way trailer connector. Use the included strap, found inside the cap, to secure the Echo in place. It will help ensure a constant connection between vehicle and trailer.
That done, download the OneControl app on your Apple or Android smartphone and wirelessly pair the unit to your phone via Bluetooth, following the in-app instructions. It should take about 5 seconds for them to pair. Once paired, the LED light on the unit will turn a solid blue. Plug in your trailer's 7-way and let the whole system calibrate for another 5 seconds. When the LED turns green, configure your desired trailer brake settings in the app and save it as a profile. Then you're ready to tow!
Note: See etrailer.com's exclusive 7-way upgrade kit for brake controller installation (ETBC7L - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.
Control Your Towing with Your Smartphone and an App
Besides the crazy-easy installation, the Echo is unique for giving you control of your towing through your smartphone. You can set the maximum braking output, adjust the braking sensitivity, apply the manual override - all from the OneControl app.
Completely wireless, the Echo connects to the app via Bluetooth. You can save multiple towing profiles in the app, a big plus if you have a fleet and want to be able to just select a pre-set configuration and get towing. And don't worry; after you've downloaded the app, you don't need to have data on to use the app with the brake controller. You'll be able to receive calls and texts and access your other apps.
User-Friendly OneControl App
Simple, intuitive, and user-friendly, the OneControl App makes it wicked easy to manage your settings and control your trailer.
1. Manual Override
This big orange button in the middle of the app is your manual override. Press and hold the button, and the brake controller will smoothly apply the trailer brakes without applying your vehicle's brakes. This is perfect for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in an emergency.
Quick tip: Put manual override right at your fingertips by adding this button (C83HR - sold separately) to your dash. The app must be running for the button to work, but it can be in the background while you use other apps on your phone. The button has an adhesive pad for a quick-stick installation and includes an easily replaceable battery.
2. Brake Output Indicator
The outer ring gives you a visual indicator of how much power is being applied to the trailer brakes. This is determined by your max output setting.
3. Max Output
Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop.
To set your maximum braking output, tap this button and increase or decrease using the + and - buttons. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change.
4. Sensitivity Level
This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the max output level. This is a great adjustment to make when you're towing a heavy load and the trailer will need more umph to bring it to a stop so it doesn't push your vehicle forward.
Just like max output, if you need to change your sensitivity level, use the + and - buttons. If your vehicle takes too long to come to a stop, increase the setting. If it stops too abruptly, lower the setting. You may also need to adjust the sensitivity based on your own preferences, or when the trailer load or road conditions change.
5. Vehicle Hazard Lights
If you turn on your vehicle's hazard lights, there's a chance the trailer brakes will pulse on and off as the lights flash. Turn this setting on any time you activate your hazard lights to prevent this problem.
Save Multiple Trailer Profiles
Get on the road faster by saving your settings. With the app, you can add and store multiple profiles for both trailers and vehicles so that your preferred settings will be ready to go as soon as you hook up. This is perfect if you own a fleet and don't want to have to reset the controller every time you swap out trucks, trailers, or drivers. You'll have the ideal settings saved and waiting for you. To switch between profiles, just swipe left or right.
OneControl: One-Stop App for Towing
If you like the idea of monitoring your trailer from your phone, the other OneControl systems could be a great fit for you.
The Curt True Course (C94VV - sold separately) is an advanced Bluetooth sway control system that automatically triggers the trailer brakes (independent of the vehicle's brakes and the brake controller) when it detects dangerous trailer movement. The Curt Tire Linc (C54VV - sold separately) Bluetooth TPMS monitors the temperature and pressure of your trailer tires. All of these systems use the OneControl app so you can manage all of them in the same place on your phone.
LED Status Indicator
The LED indicator light on the top of the plug-in module will show you when the brake controller is connected. You can also check the LED for simple diagnostics when you need to troubleshoot.
Weatherproof Construction
Because the Echo mounts outside the vehicle, it's designed for maximum weather resistance. The unit is filled with an epoxy resin that seals off the internal components from moisture and the elements. The Echo also has a soft locking tab for connecting to your 7-way plug that reduces vibration and helps ensure a constant connection.
Proportional Braking
The Curt Echo brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.
The Echo uses an internal 3-axis accelerometer to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to ensure that your trailer slows at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Bluetooth-enabled brake controller lets you monitor and control your towing directly from your phone. Create multiple trailer profiles and tweak your settings in the app. One step, plug-and-play installation into your 7-way.by: Mark07/02/2022
I like the fact that I have a proportional brake controller I can stick in my glove box. It doesn’t have to be hardwired to the vehicle which is nice because I can use it on different applications. This one is definitely a plus over time delay brake controllers.
by: Mark03/10/2023
We have been using the Echo wireless brake controller for about a year with our little travel trailer. In general it works well, no problems with the installation or connection to our phones. There is a little rubber strap that supposedly keeps it attached to the vehicle, but it is pretty useless. We keep a bunch of 1cm wide zip ties in the car in order to secure the unit to our car.

The echo wireless works well. It is easy to setup for different trailers or road conditions. The new software update improves connectivity. The little safety strap that it came with is long gone, and it was useless to begin with. I just keep a bag of zip ties in the car to secure the echo to the cars seven pin connector.

Customer service response is prompt. Order arrived quickly. I’ve attached, synced, and tested the controller on my 2020 Tacoma, pulling my 16ft travel trailer. Lights and app indicate it is working. I’m still testing adjustments, as I’ve never used a brake controller. I saw some reviews that complained about brake pulsing at low speeds. I have NOT experienced this problem. Manual actuation works well at low speed. Information says app must run in the foreground. I’m trying to determine what that means. Can I open the app and switch to another app, or does the app need to stay on constant display?
Brooke M.
2/26/2024
Yes! The app should be the one on constant display on your phone screen; the one you are viewing. It looks like the reason is if its running in the background, if you have a different app on display while towing, it can cause delays in breaking times. Best to be safe and just run the OneControl Auto app when towing.
by: Kathy 09/18/2020
Had it working within minutes of taking out of the box. Controller works well. it remembers the last setting which is helpful. I was able to set up an profile for driving the highway and a separate profile for when I am backing up (don't need as much brake).
Glad the unit had strap, although it is a little difficult to secure and does need to be checked.

3.5 great years. No issues. Then Yesterday I was forced to move to a new app to communicate with the controller. This is NOT cool. New app was difficult to connect. Then I find out I must have location services turned on for it to work. This is an invasion of my privacy just for me to control my trailer safely. App has to be running and in the foreground - what on earth???? I want to be able to use my phone, run maps etc. Basically the ability to use my controller as I intended when I spent my money has been taken from me. I feel robbed.
by: Dan03/12/2023
This controller has worked flawless for me. I’ve used it on a 2009 Lexus RX350, 2022 Lexus RX350, and 2022 Lexus GX460. Never an issue connecting or operating. My father, on the other hand, has the exact controller for use with his 2018 Ford F-150, and has had many issues with connection and operation. I love it’s modularity and simplicity.

Still using this controller frequently, even though my GX has a pigtail for a wired controller. This is just so simple and quick to plug in when I need it, and take out when I don’t. Zero flaws, zero hiccups, zero issues.

Overall, I like the way the unit operates, with the Bluetooth portability. It’s easy to move from vehicle to vehicle. I also know it works, as I encountered a hard braking incident in traffic, and everything responded as hoped.
The build quality suffers, as the little rubber strap and hook to “fasten” it with quickly broke. I replaced it with a stainless nut and bolt, and hook it around the fold down cap to keep it in place. Otherwise, I’d rate it a higher!
by: Doug 04/24/2024
Brake controller works well, but I would like to see a more substantial connection to the power socket on the car. Velcor is provided, but I would prefer something that ties to the car's frame. The way it is, I feel like the controller could fall off on a rough road.

2019 Honda Ridgeline
The Curt Wireless brake controller installed easily on my 2019 Honda Ridgeline for towing my 24' travel trailer. It worked well on the one occasion that I had to use it. Nice to have the visual in the app on how the brakes were being applied.
by: Charles 04/19/2024
Works amazingly well after the brief learning curve. You just can’t over think the process and do it. What a difference not having to install a brake controller on a new vehicle. I would buy it again.
by: Mark04/06/2023
The Echo is a convenient trailer brake. It's easy to set up and use every time I hook up my trailer. I use Bluetooth from an old smartphone mounted to the left of of my steering wheel so I can keep my cell phone free.
The only problem is that the rubber strap kept getting un latched from the rubber pin. So I just use two bungee-balls to keep the ECHO connected to the car harness and the trailer plug. (see Photo)

A great controller. It was simple to setup and use. I love the ability to use it in different vehicles ---- and no wiring hassle. Plug and play, make a couple adjustments and it worked like promised. I have showed it to several friends, who were totally amazed, had no idea there was a product like it out there. Towing a 18ft enclosed trailer with a Tahoe presently.
by: Harry03/26/2024
So far it's doing exactly as it was designed to do. Only issue is that stupid rubber strap. It has a button on it and as I was trying to loop this thing over the plug door, it flew off. Why would you make one removable? In any case, I put a zip tie around it. I was lucky to find the button on the ground and tried it again only for it to fly of once again. I like the controller how it works and it's simplicity
by: Daniel 04/22/2024
Got delivered in a timely manner was in great condition. Just activated it this morning. Followed instructions ran into trouble when connecting to it with the app. It needs to be connected to your trailer as well to activate it so it can be located when searching for it. Setting it up was ok after that. I hooked it up and moved around some while using breaks on truck. Used the direct break on phone to see if it would stop, it did. Will use it sometime after I figure out the truck towing settings, sensors.
by: Michael04/03/2024
This product has been excellent. The connectivity is immediate, even without opening the app. My bluetooth button has always worked simply. The colored lights are simple and communicative. I love the ease and lack of setup.
On the flap, the corner of the thumb tab has broken off. Seems within regular wear and tear for towing.
by: David 03/26/2024
Simple and quick way to set up a vehicle for trailer brakes. Cost effective, too, as you can use it for multiple tow vehicles. Easy to pair, I use an older “obsolete” iPhone with Bluetooth instead of my everyday iPhone. Be careful, though, this one is a replacement for one that vanished while camper was in for service.
by: Russ11/13/2022
As long as you follow the directions for hooking it up precisely, it works marvelously. Especially, if like us, no OEM brake controller was available for our Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I give it a low rating, however, because it is made very cheaply. Just from regular use (plugging it in and unplugging it), the unit cracked, and then after 1-2 more uses it completely fell apart. See the pictures.

I wanted to let you know that the controller does have a 1 year warranty and I have sent the warranty return instructions in a separate email to you.
by: Unhappy02/20/2024
It is a new year and this five start rated product is now a three star. The reason being is the forced update to the "Lippert One Control" app - away from its original CURT app. The Lippert One Control app is not working with iOS. It is a known problem with BT, location, font size, screen brightness, and zoom. Currently, one has to restore the Display Settings on iPhone to the default status to make the app work. It gets stuck on the "Accept/Cancel" screen because of font/zoom settings. Though working with Lippert support, it's 2.20.24 and the app is only functional when these default settings are applied. The default settings get applied to the entire phone making my phone impossible to see, to read, to determine color. The font is tiny, it's not bright, I cannot zoom, so I'm not sure what's taking so long for Lippert developers to get updates rolled out. The forced update to the Lippert One Control app rolled out in late 2023 and it never worked. Reviews in App Store are 1.3 and issues are still compounding. The brake controller may work without the app but the settings you need may not be the presets. I could tell the controller was not how I set it up on CURT app, so I had to drive without a brake controller. Until App Store reviews indicate consistent excellent status as the CURT app did, without rendering your own utility worthless, I cannot recommend this innovative and wonderful product. It worked well under CURT but Lippert still hasn't figured out what is going on and did not think more broadly when developing. Great product if it worked!

I'm having trouble with it on my small trailer locking up the brakes
Jenny N.
2/9/2024
Thank you for reaching out. Have you been able to adjust the output and sensitivity on the controller? Lowering the settings can prevent the brakes from locking up.
by: CJ03/15/2024
The manufacturer changed the App for this (installing the Curt App requests a different app be installed), the App in the videos is no longer valid.
Instead of the Curt app, it tells you to download an app from Lipert.
The app also requires setting up an account with Lipert. This is completely unnecessary, it's a bluetooth device, it does not require any internet access at all.
The app also asked for Location Services, again this is completely unnecessary, the app does not need to know where it is located to connect to a bluetooth device.
Companies need to stop trying to harvest every bit of data and sell it to the highest bidder.
I would return this device if I could, these types of egregious data scraping are getting out of hand.
by: Kim S.07/28/2022
Initially wouldn’t connect to iPhone but after uninstall/reinstall of app it was fine. After literally traveling around the entire US I have to say it was a blessing with plug-and-play simplicity and total control over braking parameters. The phone lost Bluetooth connection a few times while traveling but the controller maintains the program so no big deal. For me it was nice to see the braking rate on the phone graphic. GREAT PRODUCT! 5 stars!
by: Rick04/17/2024
Easy to setup, works like a charm.Only downside is it ties up my phone while using it. Planning to use an old phone since it just needs bluetooth to function
by: Used with Volvo XC40 + travel trailer08/18/2022
Fantastic / effortless! I drive a Volvo XC40 and needed the most minimal, non-intrusive brake controller I could find. All you need is the corresponding app, you pair this controller to the app via bluetooth, and configure it (just 2 settings for trailer brake output & sensitivity) and you're good to go. No need to rely on the app during driving at all, the brake controller stores the settings and just does its thing without you needing to look at the app or have it open. It's handy for testing the brakes, there is a button on the app where you can virtually press the brakes, so I stand by my trailer brakes, press the button, and test that I hear them engaging - super convenient since I do setup alone. Safety features ensure that if the phone loses connection, the brake controller just keeps working. Super happy with my purchase.

Works perfectly and no fooling around with wires! Worth every penny! AND, if you have multiple vehicles, you don't have to install a brake controller on all of them, just plug and go! I love it!!!!!

Picked up my teardrop in ABQ on 2/17/23, and the Echo was easy to mount and sync to my phone, and worked flawlessly the 175 mile trip home. I also got my longer 3-way curt ball mount from etrailer, and it is a beast and also worked perfectly!
