Is the Curt Echo Compatible with a 2018 Chevy Equinox with Factory Tow Package
Question:
Hi, I have a 2018 Chevy equinox 2.0l turbo with 2lt factory tow package on it, I have a 7 pin plug on the back of it, do you know if factory has 12V power to this module so I can get this item instead of having to hard wire a brake controller? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Your 2018 Chevy Equinox with the factory 7 way will have the 12v power connected already, so you're ready to use the Curt Echo # C51180 right out of the box. You'll just need to pair it with your Bluetooth enabled smart phone running Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer.
I've linked a short review video of the Echo, but you've got everything you need if you already have the 7 way plug on the vehicle.
