Using the CURT Echo Mobile Brake Control is a breeze. First, find the standard 7 - way RV blade socket at the rear of your vehicle. Plug the brake control into this socket, then connect your trailer harness to the socket on the brake control. Next, download the custom - designed app for your Apple or Android phone. Pair the brake control with your phone via Bluetooth. Once paired, you can use the app to control and monitor your trailer brakes. When you're done using it in one vehicle and want to use it in another, just unplug it and transfer it to the new vehicle with a 7 - way RV blade connector. Remember, only make adjustments to the brake settings when your vehicle is stationary to avoid distracted driving. If the Bluetooth connection is lost, don't worry, the brake controller will keep working safely with the last programmed settings. This brake control is designed to be durable. But to keep it in top shape, try to keep it clean and free from excessive dirt and mud. It's weather - resistant, but if you're in extremely harsh conditions, giving it a quick wipe down when you get home can help extend its lifespan. Also, check the retention strap and locking tab regularly to make sure they're keeping the unit firmly connected to the vehicle socket.
