Hello, has anyone used the Curt Bluetooth brake controller? What's your opinion of the product? Thanks! https://www.curtmfg.com/dm/echo-mobile-brake-controller

I used the Echo for about 8,000 miles on trip in the fall of 2021 after my Autowbrake quit working. Once I got comfortable with it, it worked very well with my 2004 Avalanche. Particularly during a crazy snowstorm in the mountains of Montana when I was able to adjust the settings to account for road conditions. After that…
