Hi, I just purchased a 2019 Atlas 4motion with a factory installed tow package. I got a Curt 7 pin connector and a Curt Echo Bluetooth brake controller which plugs in line with the 7 pin connector off the back bumper. I had no power to the trailer so a after metering the plug we found it dead. Today I went to the dealer and diagnostics showed a controller inside a body panel blew yesterday probably due to me hooking up one of the two items. Covered under warranty 0
.
Now it gets a bit weird. The dealer thinks I don’t need a brake controller cause the Atlas has one mounted inside the body by the 3rd row seats. However there is no documentation in the owners manual. Also VW of America says it doesn’t exist. Not sure why a brake board would be mounted by the 3rd row seats if not.
Also I just can’t believe the Curt Echo unit blew the unit. I got it cause there is no alteration to the wiring harness or bolting a unit to your dashboard.
If anyone has had experience with this please respond. I’m in limbo on what to do.
