Description of CURT 51189 Override Bluetooth Controller

HANDS-FREE DRIVING. This Bluetooth button works with the CURT Echo mobile brake controller #51180. It allows for manual activation of the trailer brakes, instead of using the Echo smartphone app interface (app must be running for button to operate). LONG-RANGE BLUETOOTH. To ensure reliable operation, this Bluetooth switch provides a long-range connection and works in tandem with the Echo and Smart Control app. LOW PROFILE. With an overall diameter of 1-1/8 inches, the Echo button has a very discrete profile on your vehicle dash. A double-sided adhesive pad is included. VERSATILE DESIGN. As a programmable Bluetooth button by Flic, this button can be used for other Bluetooth applications beyond Echo. BATTERY INCLUDED. This Echo wireless button comes with a CR2016 battery that features a 3-year lifespan. The battery can easily be replaced as needed.

Must-have for Automotive Trailer Enthusiasts!

I must say, this Bluetooth controller is a true game-changer! Based on my experience, this device is incredibly easy to install and has been absolutely reliable. The best part about it is the convenience - I can easily control my trailer brake from inside my vehicle .The only downside I can think of is the price, but I firmly believe it's worth every penny for the added safety and convenience it provides. Overall i highly recommend this product to anyone who is a fan of automotive trailers and…

Pros
  • Convenient wireless control of trailer brakes
Cons
  • Requires compatible smartphone or tablet for use

Unreliable Bluetooth brake system for trailers

i was REALLY excited to try this wireless brake controller, but unfortunately it didn't deliver on its promises.Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice as an Automotive enthusiast I could spot the major problem - the Bluetooth connection was always unstable and the brakes would fail to respond properly. The only pro I can think of is the easy installation, but this is completely outweighed by the fact that you can't trust this system to keep you safe on the road. Overall, I don't recommend…

Pros
  • Easy to connect to smartphone with Bluetooth technology for easy trailer brake control.
Cons
  • Empty

Missing notifications

I wanted to love this thing but unfortunately it didn't notify me when my Echo was knocked out of my vehicle's 7-way connector. I'll just keep the app open on my phone and use the carplay to navigate etc.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
