You can receive a call or open another app on your phone and the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 and it will still work.
When you get a call the Echo app will still be open in the background and if you want to open up another app just keep the Echo app open in the background - simply minimize it - and you will retain the complete functionality of the brake controller.
It should be noted that even if you lose connectivity between the Echo # C51180 and the app for some... view full answer...
I recommend the Draw-Tite mounting bracket for 7-Way connectors item # 18138 for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This bracket will install to the left of the receiver opening on your Draw-Tite hitch item # 75549 on the steel tab that is on the frame of the hitch receiver. This will allow you to attach your Tekonsha 7-Way connector item # TK22115 directly to your hitch receiver for easy access. I have attached a link that will demonstrate the ease and access this mounting bracket will... view full answer...
Assuming your Sprinter has the factory tow package with the 7-way at the rear bumper, in addition to the
# RED24FR Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller, you'll also need the # 3063-P wiring harness and the # 331-TPH-017. The connector to install the controller is located under the driver's seat as shown in the provided photo.
If the Sprinter doesn't have the factory 7-way, you can install one using part # TK22115, you'll also need the # 331-TPH-017 adapter mentioned above. view full answer...
The best option in order to route the power wire from the roof of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 to the battery would be to drill a hole though the roof, run the wire under the headliner, to the a-pillar, down the a-pillar though the firewall, and to the vehicle battery. I wish I had exact steps on this to show you for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 but when it comes to routing power wires it is always going to be at the discretion of the installer. view full answer...
To install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 in your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with the factory tow package all you need is the install harness part # 3063-P which plugs into the back of the controller and then to the factory brake controller wiring of the vehicle. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 installation process does not require you to lower or modify your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 exhaust in any way. The installation itself looks pretty straightforward but it is worth noting that the hardware you'll be removing holds up the bumper so you need to make sure you have it secured before all of the hardware has been completely removed. view full answer...
According to my research, if your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector then you will have the brake controller connector pre-wired. This pre-wired connector should be under the driver side seat which you can see in the attached photo. The connector is green with four pins inside.
Once you locate this connector you can then install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake... view full answer...
If you have the Let's Go Aero TwinTube U-Build-It Slide-Out Hitch Rack # HMK901 loaded up with 300 pounds then it will be fairly difficult to slide it in and out. The tubes aren't on rollers they are just steel tubes that slide over other steel tubes. You would likely have to lift up while pushing/pulling. Some lubrication would help. view full answer...
Yes! All of this is actually in the linked instructions for the Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning # TH490011 on this page. Since this is a universal fit the instructions are specifically tailored to a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 but they are detailed enough for the installation. view full answer...
You should not use any tire chains, including the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains, part # TC2323, on a clear road. It could destroy the road, the chains, and your tires. If one of the chains were to break, it could potentially destroy your brake line as well.
There are too many things that would go wrong if you were to drive on a clear road with the chains still on, not to mention the max speed rating is only 30 mph, and the authorities would not be too happy since the chains will... view full answer...
Your 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 may actually have brake controller port or wiring harness that you can use to install a brake controller. I have included a link to a video that may help. It is on a slightly older Sprinter but can be used as a guide. The 2006 to 2018 are part of the same generation.
If the van has a third brake light (CHMSL: center high mount stop lamp) and it is the only thing on that fuse you could use it to attach to the red brake controller wire.

It's pretty safe to assume that anything installed on the rear of your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, including the Thule Elite Van XT # TH302043, will be in the way of your backup camera which will set off that alarm. This is just the nature of backup cameras/sensors and the only way to get around this is by disabling the alarm, but you will want to make sure you set the alarm back to "on" when you aren't carrying the bike rack.

You will need cut out a 5" x 3" rectangle on the lower portion of the bumper cover for the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352 to fit your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. There is a raised portion of the cover that will act as your guide lines for center and the width you will need. As this is a plastic portion of the cover you will be able to cut it out using a small saw like a reciprocating saw or hacksaw blade. view full answer...
EcoHitch does not allow their instruction manuals to be linked, so I cut out and added the most relevant portions of the installation of the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352.
This hitch, which is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, requires you to first remove the front grill and bumper, for which there is instructions in the manual which is included with the hitch. The rest of the installation is straightforward, requiring you to bolt... view full answer...
No, the Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System # Y74ZR or any combination/version of the Yakima EXO Swing cannot be swung to the drivers side. This is done by design for safety purposes. The reason for this is because by swinging to the passenger side, it will not be swinging towards the direction of traffic. Instead, it will swing towards the curb. Which is more safe for passerby's and yourself. view full answer...
For starters, if you have the factory brake controller wiring provisions then the correct wiring harness you will want to use with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 on your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 is the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3063-P. If this is what you have then there should only be power on the black wire entering the brake controller. If there is not then you have a short, there is a misplaced fuse, or... view full answer...
According to my research, the factory brake controller plug for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 uses the red/yellow wire for 12V power (connect with black wire on brake controller), the black wire with red or brown tracer for brake light switch (red wire on controller), the black wire with blue tracer for brake output (blue wire on controller) and the brown wire for ground (white wire on controller).
If the wires on your harness are not labeled for function, I also recommend trying... view full answer...
There is no plug-and-play brake controller harness for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 so brake controller installation will be a hard-wire process. Under the driver's seat there should be a green plug.
The wires to this plug can be tested with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to confirm their function since vehicle wire colors are not always consistent.
A brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 has 4 wires that require connection to the Sprinter.
The black wire is 12V input... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 13358 does fit the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the factory step bumper. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mercedes with included hardware.
