We initially had issues with the Curt Echo. After calling Curt help desk we have had no issues. What we learned was the Curt device and the app must both have access to the phones location. Also, "location" must be turned on in the phone. This is not in the manual, but appears to be required. At stops, if I walk out of…
We just got the Curt Echo wireless controller, super simple (just plug in, really) and no modifications to vehicle, works from your Wireless app on your phone. If I had known how easy it was I would not have bought at the dealer… CURT 51180 Echo Mobile Electric Trailer Brake Controller with Bluetooth-Enabled Smartphone…
WOWWWWW @VictoriaP that Curt Echo is amazing! and did you see for $56 you can buy the small attachable button so you don't have to use your phone. The Tekonsha looks good as well but the Curt is so easy, I need that in my life. Thank you so much. The help from this forum is going to get me back on the road as a newly…

Yes, I use the Curt Echo Bluetooth brake controller, works quite well. Only downside, the phone app needs rebooting after stopping, like for gas. cheers
I have had good luck with the Curt Echo wireless controller, which uses Bluetooth technology and uses your smart phone for setting up,and as a controller. Down side is, it ties up your phone. Cheers
I tighten the star wheel adjuster until the wheel doesn’t move, then back off enough for the wheel to do a half turn or so. Don’t know about the dust caps or the EZ lube cover. At least you’re not using the Curt Echo brake controller. Talk about grabbing!
