Question

Question:

Do I need to do any re-wiring or do additional wiring or need any adapters etc in order to use the the Prodigy RF on a 2010 Range Rover HSE with the standard Range Rover installed towing electrics kit. ie do I just buy it, bolt it to the trailer and plug the cables together. I am worried about whether the connectors are the same style and have the pins correctly wired etc...

As long as your Range Rover has a functional 7-way connector with an operational 12-volt accessory lead, the Curt # C51180 Echo Brake Controller will work great for you.

As your vehicle is brand new, the 7-way should be wired correctly. Simply mount the unit in the 7-way, and follow the instructions to synchronize the unit with your iOS or Android based smartphone.

For your convenience, I have provided a link to the operating and installation instructions. as well as a product description video showing how the Echo works.
