  • Cell Phone Operation of Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller
  • The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional # C51180 utilizes an app, so the app will still allow other apps to run simultaneously like maps just one of them will be "running in the background" and the phone will always still be available. In order to use the manual override button you will need to have the Echo app pulled up so the screen is activated for that button use. The brake controller will work with the last setup used without the app even pulled...

  • 4 Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness And Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Toyota Sienna
  • 118824 is Tekonsha's part number for The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK69FR. We do not currently have an installation video for this wiring harness, but I can certainly help you out with this process.

You will then need to connect the white...

  • Does 12V Power Wire Have to be Connected on Curt T-Connector for 2020 Toyota Prius Prime
  • Wiring harnesses that connect to the vehicle battery for power, like the Curt T-Connector # C56371 for your 2020 Toyota Prius Prime, are designed to protect your OEM vehicle wiring so they are built around using the battery to power the lights. On a system like this you essentially won't have any power to your trailer lighting no matter how small the amount of draw. The parts that tee in behind your tail lights are basically like triggers that tell the converter box when to send the power....

  • Can Curt Echo Brake Controller Replace Factory Brake Controller on 2018 Toyota Tundra
  • You will be able to use Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 in your 2018 Toyota Tundra that currently has a factory brake controller. The RF will get its power through the 12 volt circuit on your factory 7-way and also needs the pins for the left and right turn signals/brake lights to properly function so it is a perfectly viable option. That said, I strongly recommend contacting your local Toyota dealer in regards to issues with flashing lights on your dash; based on my research...

  • 7-Way Installation Process for Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller
  • Yes, you can use the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717 to add a 7-way connection for your Curt Echo # C51180. The process is exactly what you described. You will need to connect the black wire to the battery with a fuse or breaker and also connect the ground wire to the vehicle frame. The blue wire and the yellow wire can be ignored. For this process I recommend using the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L. This kit comes...

  • Brake Controller Install Kit with 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter with Built In Circuit Tester
  • I can help get you what you are looking for but the # ETBC7 as a kit is not sold with a 7-way that has a tester built in. So what you would want is the part # C57674 with the brake controller wiring kit part # 5506 and you'd have what you are looking for.

  • What If a Proportional Brake Controllers Sensor Fails?
  • If a proportional brake controller, like my personal favorite the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 were to have a sensor fail, there is a backup option with the manual override, but this is an extremely reliable brake controller that I haven't heard of failing sensors on. The integrated internal inertia sensor will normally help by sending a proportional amount of braking to your trailer. So unlike time-delayed controllers that send the same amount of preset power at the allocated time delay...

  • Why is there a Second Ground Wire in Brake Control Wiring Harness # 3041-P for 2017 Toyota 4Runner
  • The grounds on many Toyota vehicles including your 2017 Toyota 4Runner has proven to be insufficient so an additional ground wire has been added to help. There is likely an existing ground location under the dash you can use or a bare metal surface that would be perfect for a ground. The firewall is one option. Just as long as it isn't a painted or coated surface and just bare metal it will work.

  • It sounds like you're running into issues on step M of the instructions for the Pop& Lock # PL54FR on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma. Some of the wiring is plug and play but definitely not all of it. In step M you will want to locate that MJ1 connector at the wiring under your scuff plate.

  • Can Echo Brake Controller C51180 Be Paired to A Different Phone
  • Absolutely, you can re-pair the Curt Echo # C51180 to a different phone at any time, as long as the phone has an OS of Apple 8.0 or newer or an Android 4.4 or newer. You wouldn't want to try to use the Echo with 2 phones simultaneously, Such as two people trying to control the Echo at the same time with 2 different phones. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the Echo wireless brake controller that will walk you through how it works.

  • Which Plug and Play Brake Controller Adapter for 2020 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro
  • You don't NEED a plug and play adapter to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 in your 2020 Toyota SequoiaTRD Pro but it certainly makes it easier and eliminates the need to cut off or splice into factory wires. You'll want to use the # 3040-P to plug into the factory brake controller plug in under the dash and install the P3 without any splicing necessary. I've linked a video of the installation in a similar Sequoia; the year isn't the same but the process will be the same so you...

  • Does Exhaust have to be Lowered to Install Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Toyota Venza All-Wheel Drive
  • According to the instructions for Curt hitch # 13356, linked for reference, lowering of the exhaust is required on all models. And on AWD models you also have to disconnect the sway bar brackets like you said. It might be possible to angle the hitch in without lowering the exhaust but it would be difficult. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or...

  • Troubleshooting Hitch Bolts That Wont Thread Into Weld Nuts on 2012 Toyota Venza
  • If you haven't already, I would recommend taking a nylon brush and some spray lubricant like the LubriMatic # L11474 and clean out the weld nut holes on your Curt # C12341 hitch. There could be some built up rust, dirt or other debris that is clogging up the holes and keeping you from getting them into the holes-these should thread by hand at the start. If you've already tried this step, please let me know and I can recommend some alternative steps.
