FAQ's

Does my EBR remote work with all Elecbrakes brake controllers?  The remote will pair with earlier ELBC, current EB2 and VM1 brake controllers via bluetooth. Elecbrakes brake controllers can only be connected to one smartphone or remote at a time, ensuring full control is maintained by the user while in use.

If you try connecting via the remote and it isn’t connecting to the brake controller, this could be because the smartphone app is still running and connected in the background. In this case, you can close the Elecbrakes app on your smartphone before attempting to connect via the remote.

For EB2 and VM1, initial pairing and setup is required via the Elecbrakes App. To enable EBR:
• Select the “Settings” tab and scroll down to “Allow EB Remote”

Note: The EBR remote comes with a USB cable and must be plugged into a powered USB port in your vehicle to operate.

Is it legal in all states to use Elecbrakes App while driving? 

• Depending on state specific laws, exemptions may apply to safe mobile phone use as a driver’s aid whereby the mobile phone must be secured in a cradle fixed to the vehicle. Elecbrakes App is now also compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto equipped vehicles to further support this, please check with your local/state laws as they are updated on occasion.
• User defined program adjustments via the App or EBR remote should be altered once the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The settings adjusted, based on trailer feedback, will be saved to the brake controller and will continue to respond to the vehicle control signal under normal braking application.
• Manual override function is a feature included in the app based on customer response and not an ADR compliant function of the brake controller. Where state laws stipulate against the use of a mobile device as a driver’s aid, if CarPlay / Android auto is not equipped to the vehicle, users may choose to purchase an Elecbrakes EBR remote to utilise this function.
