Parts Needed To Use Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller On a 2020 Acura MDX Without a Tow Package  

Question:

I recently added a Curt hitch and wiring adapter to my 2020 Acura MDX that did not have the tow package. I also added the 4 way flat to a 7 way connector as my horse trailer has a 7 way connector. Will I need to do anything else required to purchase and use the Echo brake controller?

I do see the Receiver # C13146 and 4-Way # 118628 you got from us for your 2020 Acura MDX. Depending on if you got a 7-way like our Kit # ETBC7 which includes the wiring needed for a charge line or just an Adapter # 37185 will decide what all you need to use the Curt Echo # C51180. If you only have the Adapter # 37185 you are going to need enough 10 Gauge Wire # DW02508-1(sold by foot) to run from the battery to the 7-way, Circuit Breaker # 9510, two Ring Terminals # DW05740-1 for connecting the circuit breaker and a larger Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 to connect to the battery terminal.

If I would use the wireless brake controller. Do I still need to run a power wire from the battery?

@SheldonS Yes, the power wire from the battery is where the Curt Echo gets its power from to send to the brakes when needed. Without this power the unit will not turn on.
