Description
The CURT Echo™ (#51180) is a Bluetooth-enabled, mobile brake control that allows you to control and monitor the activity of your trailer brakes using your smartphone and this downloadable app. The device simply plugs in between the vehicle-trailer 7-way wiring connection and uses Bluetooth to sync with your phone.
Download the Smart Control app to set up your smartphone as the trailer brake control interface for the CURT Echo™. With it you can adjust maximum braking power and sensitivity while towing. It also shows diagnostic information like overload conditions and trailer-disconnect errors. For added control and safety while towing, the Smart Control app provides a button to manually override braking and activate the trailer brakes whenever necessary.
With the compact design and plug-and-play installation of the CURT Echo™, it is a highly portable brake control. It is designed to be easily transferred from one vehicle-trailer combination to another. As such, the app allows you to store up to five user profiles, each with its own personalized settings.
The Smart Control app does not need to be open for the CURT Echo™ mobile brake control to function normally. The app can be closed, and the Echo™ will use the previously selected profile settings to determine maximum braking and brake aggressiveness.

Ratings and Reviews
No iPad support
Would be awesome to work on an iPad for people who use them as a dash screen. My plan was to tow with a split screen and have this brake controller on one half and an obd dashboard on the other half monitoring things like transmission temp and exhaust temps, etc. Because this is iPhone app only I can’t do that and need to either have two devices or swap between apps while driving which I don’t want to do.
It does work on an iPad but it’s just the size of a phone screen and doesn’t change with orientation.
Beware of newest update!
The latest update disables the app! All it is is an ad telling to download another app. Don’t update unless you have a lot of time on your hands.
Because of how iOS separates apps for security, you will need to start from scratch after downloading the new app. The new ‘OneControl’ app demands you register with them, before having to re-pair your device to your brake controller. All your settings that you perfected are gone.
This is the reason to ditch the Curt and install a hardwired brake controller. Disabling your brakes until you jump through a bunch of hoops and license agreements and give your email to yet another company, is just wrong. I was loaded up and ready to hit the road when I found out how little Curt thinks of me as a customer.
Works well when it works
Bought this to avoid having to deal with wiring a brake controller into my Touareg. Worked well the first couple times. Then on way home from a trip, it would not connect to my phone or my wife’s after an hour of messing with it. Went out to troubleshoot a few days later and it started working. About a month later, we are halfway into a long trip and it won’t connect again. Been without the use of the app for three days now and no support from Curt seems to be available.
