I have a solution for you. I confirmed with my tech at Hopkins Manufacturing (the makers of BrakeBuddy), and he confirmed that the only option of brake controller that will work with a Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System is the Replacement Dual Controller for Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System # HM39533. Unfortunately, the Curt Echo # C51180 will not work with the Brake Buddy Stealth model. Sadly, there is no wireless brake controller that will work with the Brake Buddy Stealth.
