Detailed Steps

New to ElecBrakes? Expand each section and follow the yellow numbered actions.

1. Pairing — EB2 (NFC + Bluetooth)

1. Turn ignition ON and headlights ON. Ensure trailer 7-pin is connected.
2. Open the ElecBrakes app. Hold your phone near the EB2 for the NFC prompt → tap Connect.
3. No NFC? Tap Cancel → Add Manually → choose your EB2 from the list.
4. Press the vehicle brake — the app should show a red circle(live brake input).

2. Pairing — ELBC2000 (Bluetooth)

1. Ignition ON + headlights ON. 7-pin connected.
2. Open the app near the controller → when it appears in the device list, select to connect.
3. Press the brake to verify the red circle appears.

3. Brake programs & gain

1. Start at 40% gain for an empty trailer. Increase for heavier loads.
2. For loaded trailers, use 80–100% gain so braking feels even with the car.
3. Fine-tune in Settings → Program(forward, minimum, reverse, override).
4. Test at low speed in a safe area and adjust in small steps until confident.

4. Manual override braking

1. On the app home, tap the blue circle to apply trailer brakes — it turns red.
2. Adjust strength with +/ –. Tap again to stop override.
3. Use override only at low speed and in a straight line to test function.

5. Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

• Android Auto: Connect (USB or wireless) → open ElecBrakes on the car display → use Previous/Next and on-screen controls.
• Apple CarPlay: Connect (USB or wireless) → open ElecBrakes → adjust via steering wheel/touch or Siri.

6. Troubleshooting — fast fixes

• No connection: Headlights ON; unplug/re-plug 7-pin; check adaptors; make sure only one phone/remote is connected.
• Weak/strong brakes: Adjust gain in small steps and re-test at 40–50 km/h.
• Override not working: Confirm the app is connected to the correct controller.
