Your 2014 Chevy Traverse that has the factory 7-way does not require accessing the brake controller wiring if your plan was to install the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C74VV that you referenced. Basically you'd plug in the Echo directly into your 7-way and once you've synced it to your smart phone you'd be ready to tow.

If you wanted to install a more traditional brake controller like the P3 part # 90195 you'd use the install harness part # 3026-P which plugs into a gray connector under your dash near your emergency brake pedal. You'll have to lower the dash panel to access this. See attached picture.
