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 Toyota Sienna 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 Toyota Sienna 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 Toyota Sienna.
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 Toyota Sienna'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 Toyota Sienna forward.
Just like max output, if you need to change your sensitivity level, use the + and - buttons. If your Toyota Sienna 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. Toyota Sienna Hazard Lights
If you turn on your Toyota Sienna'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 Toyota Siennas 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 Toyota Sienna'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 Toyota Sienna, 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 Toyota Sienna's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your Toyota Sienna, 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 Toyota Sienna's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your Toyota Sienna and trailer.
The Echo uses an internal 3-axis accelerometer to sense how your Toyota Sienna is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow Toyota Sienna 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.

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.

2014 Dodge Ram Pickup
The factory brake controller on our 2014 Ram 3500 would never give us good braking for our 5th wheel. The best voltage that the controller would provide to the electric brakes was just under 10 volts; and that was at full settings. Dealer said that this year vehicle never would give more voltage.
This etrailer brake controller was not only easy to set up, it does a fantastic job stopping our trailer.
Finally peace of mind towing.

Still works great. Nice to have confidence in the ability to stop as necessary in any circumstances.
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.

@Mark That's a nice solution!
by: Denise05/10/2024
Electronics work perfectly, but finding it difficult to keep the trailer cable attached to the controller. I also don’t trust the unit to stay connected to my car plug using the rubber strap provided with the brake controller. It’s too stretchy it seems, becoming unhooked easily. Overall very happy that this product was invented and works as advertised. Improve the ability to securely connect the unit to the car and trailer cable to the unit, I would give 5 stars.

Toyota Echo
I have owned the Curt Echo WBC for one year now and have been impressed with the versatility of the product. I use it with multiple trailers and vehicles. My only ding is making sure to provide support for the contoller as it is heavy for the plug in and I'm always concened that it will vibrate out. So far, that has not occured.

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.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado
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: 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.
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.

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: Adam04/27/2024
I love the ease of use and simplicity of it, however.
I use it on my pusher MH and it will not keep connectivity. I think it's because of the distance and obstacles.
I would highly recommend this product for a pick up application.
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: 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)
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: 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

Great product! I use it with our 2019 Chevrolet Traverse to tow our RZR/Trailer. Once set up works flawlessly. One critic....its a little expensive.
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.

Took a little patience but it paired. Added a little wd40 to trailer 7way...and everything works! The baseline setup was perfect for my single axle travel trailer.
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: 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: 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: 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!

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118648. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation...

- Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2020 Honda OdysseyTo install a brake controller, like the Curt Echo # C51180 on your 2020 Honda Odyssey, first, you need to install a 4-pole flat with a powered converter module to provide enough to power and to properly activate your trailer lights. I recommend the Tekonsha # 118781 because it includes the fuses needed to complete the install and it's also the most reliable. Next, you can use our 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L to adapt the 4 pole harness previously...
view full answer... - Can I Tow Jayco Eagle With 2012 Honda PilotIt really depends on the loaded weight of the Jayco eagle if the 2012 Honda Pilot can safely tow it. I took a look at the owner's manual for the 2012 Honda Pilot and the maximum trailer weight depends on the amount of occupants in the vehicle and if the Honda Pilot is 4WD or 2WD. I have attached a couple of charts from the owner's manual regarding weight but I recommend to take a look at your copy because it does mention other helpful tricks about how to measure your weight at a public...

- Installing Electric Trailer Brake Controller in 2019 Ford RangerOn your 2019 Ford Ranger, there isn't any wiring under the dash for a brake controller. You can either use a wireless trailer brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 or you can hardwire a controller of your choice using the wiring kit # 5506. Your factory 7-way should already have the 12V power connected, so you can simply use # 10-1-1 for wire from your battery to the circuit breaker # 38630 and then to the brake controller. Then use the same wire from the blue brake controller...
view full answer... - Can I Use The Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller On a Truck With Air Brakes? I recommend using the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C on your truck with air brakes. This will ensure you do not have any false braking with the trailer. The Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 works off of the tail lights going to your trailer to determine when the brakes are being used. As some trucks with air brakes have an exhaust brake which can also activate the brake lights using the Echo in that situation would cause the trailer to try and stop while...
view full answer... - Recommended 7 Trailer Brake Assembly for 3500-lbs AxleTrailer brakes come in 3 general sizes- 7", 10" and 12" and are generally determined by the axle capacity on your trailer. Typically a 3500-lbs axle would have 10" brakes on them, but it sounds like you've actually got 7" brakes; if you've got existing brakes I do recommend checking their size (it sounds like you likely don't in this case) and making sure that you've got brake mounting flanges on the axle if you don't have existing brakes. For 7" brakes I do recommend the # AKEBRK-2,...
view full answer... - Is There a Brake Controller Plug/Port On a 2019 GMC AcadiaI do have brake controller options for a 2019 GMC Acadia but there is not a plug under the dash like what you might be used to seeing. Therefore, a wireless brake controller for which I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 is the best option as it's the only one that would not require cutting and splicing.
view full answer... - Can Duplex Wire Still Be Used To Power Curt Echo Brake Controller From BatteryThe Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 would be the best option we could offer to install the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 if you wanted to run duplex wire up to the battery. We don't offer the length you need aside from the part # 10-2-1.

A proportional controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885 will work just fine for you. You'd need the # TK93VR wiring adapter as well. Another option would be the Curt Echo, part # C51180. The Echo would plug inline between the 7-way on the vehicle and the trailer's...

After an initial issue and replacement, the product has worked very well. Having an adjustable proportional controller that you can throw in your glove box is pretty handy. It’s response time is very quick.
