Brake Controls

Most things in this day and age can be accessed or controlled from a smartphone. With the Echo, that includes your trailer brakes. Echo is powered by a Bluetooth-enabled system that connects right to your smartphone. Your phone becomes the brake control monitoring unit in the cab of your vehicle. There is no need for extra modules, controls, buttons or knobs. The Echo mobile trailer brake controller has one of the easiest installations in the industry. It simply plugs into the standard 7-way RV blade socket at the rear of your vehicle and provides a socket to plug in the trailer harness. It Ts into the connection, going between the vehicle and trailer plugs, and it is completely non-invasive. It also features automatic calibration to help eliminate setup requirements. The Echo trailer brake controller comes with a custom-designed app that can be downloaded for iOS or Android OS phones. With this app, the wireless brake control is able to connect to your smartphone and display brake control settings and activity. It also sends you status updates and allows you to receive incoming calls while the app is running. Note: If Bluetooth connection is lost, the brake controller will continue to function safely, using the most recently programmed settings. With its compact design and simple, plug-and-play installation, the Echo is extremely portable. You can easily transfer it between vehicles and use it with multiple trailers, as long as the vehicle and trailer have a 7-way RV blade connector. The Echo Smart Control app allows you to store multiple vehicle-trailer profiles, making ideal for commercial fleets. Because the Echo mobile trailer brake controller is made to be outside the vehicle, we engineered it for maximum weather resistance. It is constructed with a potted enclosure, meaning the inside of the unit is filled with an epoxy resin that seals off the internal components from moisture and the elements. This ensures long-lasting operation in spite of rain, snow, dirt, mud and more. The Echo also has a retention strap and locking tab for connecting to the 7-way RV blade vehicle socket. The strap and tab help maintain a strong connection, keeping the unit firmly installed. The Echo mobile brake controller operates using a triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer -- an integrated circuit that produces smooth, safe stops every time. It is compatible with two to four trailer brakes (one to two axles) and can be used with low-voltage or PWM wiring systems. Echo is also compatible with cruise control and ABS brakes and has built-in reverse-polarity protection and short-circuit protection. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty., ECHO MOBILE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER, 7-WAY, BLUETOOTH SMARTPHONE CONNECTION #51180 Wireless, portable design allows for easy transfer from one vehicle to another.

The TriFlex proportion-based brake controller features a compact size, a digital display and the ability to manage up to eight brakes at a time. The feature that sets the TriFlex apart from many others is its triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer. This integrated circuit component allows the TriFlex to detect every motion of your vehicle and trailer with exact precision and to then apply the perfect amount of braking power for every situation. The TriFlex also automatically adjusts brake output when going up or down a hill and is compatible with anti-lock brakes and cruise control. It comes with a mounting bracket and hardware and can be mounted at various angles on your vehicle's dash. Best of all, like other CURT brake controllers, the TriFlex is protected by a limited lifetime warranty. These CURT trailer brake controllers are designed to work with quick plugs so that they can readily plug into your vehicle's original equipment socket. They also include mounting brackets and hardware for easy installation. A brake controller should be mounted somewhere on the dash of your vehicle, and we recommend putting it below the steering wheel, either on the right or left side of the steering column. This way the control will not block your view when driving, but it will remain accessible and visible when adjustment is needed., TRIFLEX PROPORTIONAL TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLERS (6-PACK) #51142 Triple-axis, motion-sensing accelerometer for highly responsive, smooth stops. Third axis provides dynamic power adjustments when going up or down a hill. Nine levels of sensitivity adjustment for varying loads or driving conditions.

Digital display shows power adjustments in 0.1 increments. Built-in reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection. Tow vehicle 'low voltage' and trailer disconnect indicators. Compatible with low-volt, PWM, ABS, cruise control and electric over hydraulic. Compact size: 3-1/4" wide, 4" deep, 7/8" tall. Mounts at various angles, above or below the dash, to increase usability. Auto sleep mode prevents battery drain after five minutes of idle time. Plug-and-play install with vehicle-specific quick plug harness (sold separately). Limited lifetime warranty. Notes: Includes six TriFlex brake controls and all mounting hardware.
