I bought a once-used Curt Echo trailer brake controller from a very nice gentleman on Craigslist last week. He demonstrated it worked before I bought it, and I got a great price on it. But when I tried to set it up today, the Bluetooth would not pair to my phone - only to my wife's phone (even though we have the same phones). Furthermore, once paired to her phone, the app you use to manage the controller kept telling me that it could not detect a trailer connection, even though the 7-way was plugged in and obviously had power, because all the tail lights & turn signals on the trailer worked. I ran out of daylight and had to move on to other things, and I'm not even sure where to go from here, but I'm about to take this bad boy on a trip from Edmonds to Stanwood tomorrow morning with no functioning trailer brake controller...

Found this on Etrailer, Curtis. Maybe it will help? https://www.etrailer.com/question-429916.htmlMore from their PDF 1. Enable Bluetooth in your mobile device settings. DO NOT pair the Echo® through your phone’s Bluetooth menu. Bluetooth connection will be done through the app in step 3. 2.Prior to insertion you will need to install the safety strap. NOTICE The safety strap is located inside the cap of the Echo® unit. See 'Installing Safety Strap' on adjacent page. Once the strap and Echo® installed and inserted into the vehicle's 7-way, the LED will flash blue. The Echo® is now ready to pair with the mobile application. 3.Launch the app and scan for the Echo®. Once the 'Echo® Brake Controller' is visible, select it. You will then be prompted to enter the six-digit PIN, found under the cap of the brake controller unit or on the provided quick reference card. Once pairing is complete, the LED light will be solid blue. 4.Plug the trailer's 7-way connector into the Echo® brake controller while parked on a level surface. The LED light on the Echo® will flash yellow for five to eight seconds while calibration occurs. Once the device is calibrated the LED will turn solid green.

Tried all that. It's just not recognizing the trailer when I connect the 7-way. So either there's a bad plug/wire on the trailer end or I have a different problem. Will have to just figure that out next week!

"Apps" and their thousands of bugs will (are) the bane of our existence. Had to order a new borescope last week due to incompatibility issues. Also, many of these apps are designed to require a social media app be installed before full functionality is available.

Stuck in the tiny Colorado Springs airport. Some big thunderstorm up in Denver grounded everything. No hotels with rooms within 30 miles. I've slept in several airports, but I'd hoped by this stage in my life I'd be done with that.

I felt bad for the old guy and his wife in a wheelchair. They don't have many options. Should be home by 1pm.

I’ve waited 1 1/2 weeks for the Giraud .223 tri-way trimmer, tracking it with anticipation and yesterday after fishing (yes more limits of beautiful Coho) and the mailbox is FUKKIN EMPTY!!! USPS Informed Delivery shows it was delivered at 10:28!!!! WTF!!!! How old of the parentheses after I’ve had a cup o coffee because if I do this before, I will be banned from that site and labeled an domestic terrorist.

^ That's distressing, Jim. Hopefully you can catch the carrier to talk to him/her?

The P.O. does a real bang up job of notifying you of deliveries. i.e. 5:45AM delivered 8:20AM out for delivery
I've seen this more times than I can remember.

I've seen this more times than I can remember. Yep 50% the package will show the next day 50% long absolutely gone, never to be known where the F the thing went.......... I swear to Buddha's sexy mom, there are USPS people that have some nice shit. And a bunch of shit, they have no idea of its use. Wish I could lead with a more cheery story.

All true, Pablo. My question of late has been this: Where is the accountability? With UPS or FedEx you can call an 800- number and start a physical search and trace for your package. With USPS? You have to log in to their shite website and try to file some measly report that no one will read.
Like all these Marxists and their agenda's we need to start finding ways to hold them accountable. If it means a trip to the P.O. and an embarrassing confrontation with the postmaster, then so be it. 99% of those in line will hear you and get an education on dealing with these losers.
