We have exactly what you are looking for with the Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because it is the easiest brake controller on the market to use so you will not have to run any type of wires.

The Curt Echo will simply plug into the 7-way on the back of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE as you can see by the accompanying photo. There is no other wiring needed and the only other thing required in order to use it is a smartphone. Once you download the Echo's app you will use that to set up the brake controller and you'll be set!

This is a proportional brake controller which responds to the deceleration of your truck for smooth braking. It comes with a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA.

I have added a link to a video review of this controller for you to check out so you can see for yourself just how easy it is to use.
