Installation

CURT® - Spectrum Brake Control InstallationCURT® - Spectrum Brake Control Installation

The CURT Spectrum™ trailer brake controller gives you powerful, precise braking operation in an extremely simple and subtle design inside your vehicle. It features an LED-equipped, rotary knob interface and a separate main module with an advanced accelerometer. This allows for an OE look and feel to be maintained inside the cab of your vehicle. The separated design of the Spectrum™ brake control allows the main module to be mounted behind the dash of the vehicle, completely out of sight. Meanwhile, the compact, unobtrusive interface can be fully integrated into the dash with just a single hole.

The interface of the Spectrum™ trailer brake controller is simple but powerful. It is a single rotary knob with a push-button in the center that allows the driver to adjust brake power output. It is equipped with ten tri-color LEDs (red, blue and green) to show the automated power output of the control. There is no need for a separate display or additional controls, keeping the dash of your vehicle clean, professional and uncluttered.

Behind the Spectrum™ brake controller is a powerful main module with a triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer. This advanced circuit is able to detect the inertia of the vehicle and trailer on all axes of three-dimensional space. Whatever your speed and whatever grade you are travelling on -- up or down a hill -- the Spectrum™ brake control produces the exact amount of power needed for a smooth, safe stop every time. The main module can be mounted anywhere, at any orientation with the included mounting brackets or adhesive patch.

The Spectrum™ electric brake controller is a fully compatible unit, able to operate up to eight trailer brakes at a time. It can be used on vehicles with ABS brakes and cruise control, and it works with low-voltage and PWM systems.

Like every CURT trailer brake controller, the Spectrum™ installs in ten minutes or less, using a quick plug harness. These wiring harnesses are vehicle-specific and plug into any CURT brake control for a custom-fit installation in the vehicle. The Spectrum™ also has automatic leveling and calibration features to simplify the setup process.

Easy to Use, Does the Job.
I bought this because I lack the skills and energy to install a hard-wired controller and like the fact that I can use it on any properly wired vehicle. I found it very easy to use though overall.

The product came as pictured. My vehicle was plug and play so installation was a breeze! I would highly recommend the Curt Triflex Brake Controller. Great product for a great price! Also, CARiD was excellent helping me find the right controller for my needs! Five stars for them also!!!

Shipping
It took a long time for the wiring kit to get here. This not the fault of CARiD but rather of the manufacturer. I contacted CURT ,t5he manufacturer and they said the wire kit was in stock but it was back ordered for several weeks. and I had no way of connecting up the control. CARiD did a good job of keeping us posted on what was going on. Good job
