Failure to do so could result in damage to the brake controller unit,

• The vehicle must have +12V, ground and turn signals connected to
the 7-way socket. Brake output to the 7-way socket is not required.

function if Echo brake controller is installed.

Android Auto. However, it will not interfere with these features.
• Echo ® is designed to provide a Bluetooth connection, without
obstruction, up to 50 ft. Connection may also be limited by the
Bluetooth signal of your phone.
Avoid distracted driving. Only make
adjustments when the vehicle is stationary. Please adhere to
all applicable traffic laws and motor vehicle safety regulations
including, but not limited to, all laws and regulations prohibiting
the use of handheld devices while operating a motor vehicle.
OneControl App must be operating in the foreground

of your cell phone applications. Operating the App in the
background of your cell phone applications may cause delays in
braking response when using the manual override button.

VEHICLE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
If your vehicle comes with a trailering app or
NOTICE
towing prep package, it may be necessary to activate a
tow / haul mode using a push button or in-dash screen menu.
This allows power at the 7-way connector of the vehicle.
See the vehicle owner's manual to enable this feature.
• The Echo brake controller uses the 7-way connector's +12V
connection to power the brakes, and it shares this power with the
trailer. Ensure the fuse for this connection is rated for 30 amps.
See the vehicle owner's manual to determine the fuse location.
If the LED on the Echo does not light when plugged
into the 7-way connector, the +12V power pin may not
have power from the vehicle. Visit a CURT authorized
installer to install a power wire to the battery.
• If the phone application cannot connect to the Echo due to an incorrect
or missing PIN, contact CURT Product Support. They will need the
serial number located on the label of your Echo brake controller.
• Clean and store the Echo in a safe, dry place when not in use.
We recommend applying dielectric grease to the terminals.
Some vehicles may require a trailer to be connected
to detect a load and activate the +12V power.
Consult the vehicle owner's manual for vehicle-specific details or
contact CURT Product Support if you are having trouble diagnosing
the issue. Known vehicle-specific requirements are listed below:
Ford F-150 (2018 to Current)
• Requires tow / haul mode activation and / or load detection on
7-way before the +12V output is activated on the 7-way connector.
Activate tow mode and connect trailer before attempting Bluetooth
connection to the Echo. The LED on the Echo must be on.
Ford F-150 (15 - 17)
• These vehicles may turn off the +12V output to the 7-way connector
when in park or during gear shifting, making the existing vehicle
wiring incompatible with the Echo. To use Echo with these vehicles,
visit a CURT authorized installer to install a power wire to the battery.
