Hello Percy, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are trying to pair the Curt Echo part # C51180 to the Bluetooth on your phone which is why the app is not recognizing it. You will need to go to your settings and disconnect the Bluetooth from the Curt Echo device. The go to the Curt app and pair with the brake controller thru the app. If you do not disconnect the Bluetooth from the Echo in your settings it will not allow you to pair on the app. Unlike most other Bluetooth devices, you need to pair thru the app and not thru your phone settings.
