Elecbrakes - EB2 Bluetooth Brake Controller - Trailer Mounted

$879.00 incl. GST

: 6 in stock

: EB2

Elecbrakes' Bluetooth electronic brake controller mounts on the trailer, not the tow vehicle, so it can be synced to any smartphone (Android or Apple) or the optional Elecbrakes Remote Control, with no wiring or modification needed in the tow vehicle. Designed and assembled in Australia.

Compliance & Testing

Compliance: Per Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency rules, a trailer over 2,500kg and up to 3,500kg laden weight must have a direct service brake system — one that lets the driver directly and progressively control trailer braking from the driving position. The Elecbrakes system meets this when the remote or phone running the app is plugged into a power source and accessible to the driver while towing.

WoF/COF testing: As a proportional controller, EB2 can struggle to show braking on a roller brake tester when the tow vehicle isn't moving. In that situation, select Programme 5 and set the minimum level to 50–60% — this activates the brakes as soon as the brake pedal is applied in the tow vehicle.

Elecbrakes uses a high-speed microprocessor sampling operating parameters over 1,000 times per second, communicating over Bluetooth 4.0 with long-range, dropout-resistant performance so the unit can be mounted anywhere on the trailer's drawbar. The system keeps operating even if the Bluetooth signal is interrupted. EB2 is normally powered via the tail lights, with a second, preferred Auxiliary Power Input from the battery also provided for a prime mover towing vehicle. It's housed in a tough fibre-reinforced housing encased in urethane, fully protecting the electronics from water, dust and vibration.

What's new in the EB2

  • Integrated Deutsch Plug — allows EB2 to be mounted in tighter spaces.
  • Certified IP67 — waterproof, shockproof and dustproof for reliable performance in all towing conditions.
  • Tap & Tow — NFC lets you tap your phone on the unit to download the app and connect.
  • Intelligent Safeguards — thermal protection and short-circuit prevention under extreme conditions.
  • Smart Brake Sensor — measures the power applied to the brakes and feeds this back to the app.
  • Over-the-Air Updates — firmware feature updates delivered through the Elecbrakes app.

Optional connections

You'll also need a separate connection Leader Cable or Adapter Plug, listed below:

  • PP7-7 – 7 pin male to 7 pin female
  • PP7-12 – 7 pin male to 12 pin female
  • PP12-12 – 12 pin male to 12 pin female
  • TWL1.5m – 1.5m Leader Cable with pre-wired Deutsch plug

Jeremy's take

“We've sold a lot of these, and the EB2 is one of the few products where customers message us afterward just to say how easy it was. Install it on your trailer and tow with any compatible vehicle — no rewiring needed every time you swap tow vehicles.”

Compatibility & installation

Compatibility Suitable for single and tandem-axle trailers and caravans fitted with electric brakes.

Also supports Electric-over-Hydraulic (EOH) actuators, so it can control hydraulic braking on boat trailers, not just standard electric drum brakes.
Installation Moderate

Frequently asked questions

Yes — because the EB2 mounts on the trailer rather than the tow vehicle, it works with any vehicle capable of towing your trailer. There's nothing to wire into your vehicle's dash.

The EB2 mounts to your trailer's drawbar or chassis and wires directly into the trailer's existing brake and light wiring. Most installs take under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Watch Elecbrakes' complete EB2 install guide for a full walkthrough.

Yes. We hold EB2 units in stock at our Hamilton warehouse. Orders placed before 2pm ship the same business day, NZ wide.

Yes, if you use a physical 'V2' EBR remote. Elecbrakes released a firmware/app update that makes older V2 remotes incompatible — they're offering a free exchange for the new 'V3' remote (with real-time safety alerts and on-remote SwayControl adjustment). If you only ever use the Elecbrakes phone app, no action is needed beyond keeping the app updated. Important: if you're currently travelling and rely on your V2 remote, don't run the firmware update yet — keep using your current setup as normal, and update once your trip is finished. For NZ customers, bring your old remote in to Autotrailer and we'll facilitate the exchange with Elecbrakes for you — no need to post it to Australia yourself. Background on the update: Elecbrakes' remote upgrade guide.

Yes. When EB2 is installed with the official Elecbrakes plug-and-play adaptor, Pin 5 on the vehicle side (the pin your factory controller uses) is terminated, so only EB2's signal reaches your trailer's brakes — no conflicting signals between the two systems. As an extra precaution, set your vehicle's built-in controller gain to 0. EB2 is especially useful if you tow with more than one vehicle, since a factory-fitted controller only works in that one vehicle — EB2 travels with the trailer instead.
