Curt Echo In-Line Bluetooth Brake Controller Installation - 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hi John with etrailer. If your Jeep is already equipped with a trailer tow package and seven pole wiring, but you need a brake controller, then check this option out from CURT, this is the CURT Inline Bluetooth brake controller and then we've installed this on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now on the app, you can save up to five different profiles if you have multiple trailers. That is handy. Now we've selected profile one and on this you're gonna be able to adjust your maximum break output, your sensitivity output, and you're gonna have a large circle, which is gonna be your manual overrider sway control. Now we have a brake box simulator that is hooked up to the rear of our Jeep right now, so that if I do press the brakes, you're gonna see them applying and you're gonna have the brake lights left and right on the brakes being applied. more

This is nice so you can get the most out of the locations where you can place it on your vehicle. The buttons located on the left allow you to set the power. Higher power settings will give you a more aggressive braking and lower settings will be less sensitive. This is useful if you have different trailer loads. more

Also if you don't want to have a brake controller mounted in the conventional spot on the lower right hand portion of your dash board because it interferes with your legs while you're driving this is a great solution for you too. Not only that but you can mount the control knob in a location where it's easy for you to reach and see while you're driving so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.As you can see with the location here of our gear shifter and our knob it is in a great location of where our hand will be resting while we're driving when our hand's not on the steering wheel. If we need to shift gears or adjust our brake controller we can easily do it without moving our arm very far.Now our brake controller has an LED that's built into it which shows you where your currently positioned on your knob, anywhere from zero all the way up to ten. more
