Is the Curt Echo a Plug-n-Play Brake Controller?

Question:

I have a 4 way to 7 way adaptor that installed on my durango 2005. I works for the all the lights running / brake / turn for my trailer. Trailer has electric brakes which I am not utilizing and not required for trailer load / size but wanted to know if the CURT 51180 Echo Mobile Electric Trailer Brake Controller would be just plug-n-play of would I need to re-wire anything? Thanks!

Yes, the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller item # C51180 is completely plug and play. All you need is a functional 7-way connector and a smart phone to utilize this brake controller. I have linked an installation video so you can see the ease of setting up and using the Curt Echo.

To get your 4-flat connector to a functional 7-way you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires item # ETBC7L. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it.
