- Separate, hidden computer module

Fully integrated, original equipment look and feel
Simple, rotary knob
All trailer brake settings and conditions are communicated through the simple but powerful rotary knob of the Spectrum trailer brake controller. It provides highly responsive operation without cluttering up the look of your vehicle’s dash.
Ramp-up LED display
The Spectrum brake controller displays all settings, preferences and operations through 10 tri-color LED lights. Encircling the knob control, the lights flash, ramp up and change color based on the various braking conditions and user input.
Two mounting options
The rotary knob can be mounted onto the dash for a completely integrated look with the vehicle’s other controls. Each brake controller comes with hardware for a drill mount, as well as an adhesive pad for a surface, stick-on mount.
Out-of-sight module
The main module that controls and operates the trailer brakes is separate from the rotary knob, allowing you to mount it out of sight. This promotes a factory look and feel in the interior of your vehicle, unlike most other aftermarket brake controllers.
Vehicle-specific installation
Spectrum installs easily with a CURT quick plug brake control harness. Each wiring harness is made vehicle-specific for a custom fit on each unique make and model.
Smart brake controller operation
Highly responsive
The Spectrum electric trailer brake controller not only has a subtle, integrated design, but it also provides intelligent, responsive braking. It uses an advanced accelerometer circuit to measure the inertia of the vehicle on three separate planes. It is able to sense the motion of the vehicle and trailer while braking, to provide proportional power for a smooth, safe stop.
Manual override
The Spectrum brake controller also gives the driver advanced control over the vehicle-trailer combination, providing an easily accessible manual override. The rotary knob itself has a built-in push-button feature that manually applies the trailer brakes whenever needed to maintain full control over the towing setup.
Automatic leveling
With its smart braking operation, the Spectrum is easy to set up for any towing scenario, including a diverse combination of vehicles and trailers. It features an automatic leveling system and automatic calibration to eliminate time-consuming requirements during the setup process. It is able to operate two to eight trailer brakes at a time, making it a perfect fit for most vehicle-trailer combinations.
