Curt Echo Brake Controller

I've been following the messages about the autowbrake brake controller and am curious that I've not read about anyone using the Curt Echo controller. Am I the only one?
I had to decide on a controller when we got our new TV (VW Alltrack) back in May 2019. We had a prodigy P2 controller in the previous TV (VW sportwagen TDI) but that controller of course requires running wires into the cabin which I didn't want to do on the new TV.
I communicated with Cary about the Autowbrake and was intrigued but really didn't want to give up the galley storage space.
So I took a chance on the Echo. After four years and more than 20k towing miles I can report that this controller has been flawless. I was concerned about the physical connection but that's never been a problem.
Yep, it's pricey but the ease of use makes it worth it for me.
Check it out.

and here's the etrailer link. Lots cheaper here.

I just had one installed last week on my ' 2023 Subaru Forester Wildness '.

I had a ' 7 Way / 7 Pin ' Connector installed, along with the Brake Controller.

I have one on my 560 I brought home in 2021. No problems and much less expensive than the Autowbrake.
 
I'll have to return ( Subaru Tow Veh & 560 Trailer ) to the ' RV Electrician-Technician ' who installed my ' 7 way / 7 Pin connector ' to assist me with Synchronizing my iPhone APP , toooo the ' Brake Controller '.
