The Echo™ brake control is truly a brake
control for the modern age. It plugs into your vehicle and wirelessly
connects to your smartphone, allowing you to control and monitor all
trailer brake activity right from your own device. It comes with a
customizable app for Apple or Android phones, a portable design to
easily switch between vehicle-trailer combinations and a durable,
weather-resistant construction.
Most things in this day and age
can be accessed or controlled from a smartphone. With the Echo™, that
includes your trailer brakes. Echo™ is powered by a Bluetooth-enabled
system that connects right to your smartphone. Your phone becomes the
brake control monitoring unit in the cab of your vehicle. There is no
need for extra modules, controls, buttons or knobs.
The Echo™
brake control has one of the easiest installations in the industry. It
simply plugs into the standard 7-way RV blade socket at the rear of your
vehicle and provides a socket to plug in the trailer harness. It Ts
into the connection, going between the vehicle and trailer plugs, and it
is completely non-invasive. It also features automatic calibration to
help eliminate setup requirements.
The Echo™ trailer brake
controller comes with a custom-designed app that can be downloaded for
iOS or Android OS phones. With this app, the wireless brake control is
able to connect to your smartphone and display brake control settings
and activity. It also sends you status updates and allows you to receive
incoming calls while the app is running.
With its compact design
and simple, plug-and-play installation, the Echo™ is extremely
portable. You can easily transfer it between vehicles and use it with
multiple trailers, as long as the vehicle and trailer have a 7-way RV
blade connector. The Echo™ app allows you to store multiple
vehicle-trailer profiles, making ideal for commercial fleets.
Because
the Echo™ trailer brake controller is made to be outside the vehicle,
we engineered it for maximum weather resistance. It is constructed with a
potted enclosure, meaning the inside of the unit is filled with an
epoxy resin that seals off the internal components from moisture and the
elements. This ensures long-lasting operation in spite of rain, snow,
dirt, mud and more. The Echo™ also has a soft locking tab for connecting
to the 7-way RV blade plugs. This tab helps reduce vibrations and
improves connectivity.
The Echo™ brake control operates using a
triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer -- an integrated circuit that
produces smooth, safe stops every time. It is compatible with two to
four trailer brakes (one to two axles) and can be used with low-voltage
or PWM wiring systems. Echo™ is also compatible with cruise control and
ABS brakes and has built-in reverse-polarity protection and
short-circuit protection. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
