Question:
I am looking for a 7 blade wiring harness and brake controller for a 2013 Kia Sorento without the Factory Tow Prep Package.

Expert Reply:
The easiest to install brake controller option for your 2013 Kia Sorento would be the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller, part # C51180. The controller would connect wirelessly to your smart phone, and use your phone as the control unit for the brake controller. To install the Echo, you'll first need to install a 4 pole trailer connector, part # C56328 and our Brake Controller Installation kit, part # ETBC7L. The kit includes the adapter for converting the 4 pole to a 7-way and the wire and circuit breaker needed to run up to the positive battery terminal.
I've linked to videos that explain how the Echo and the Install Kit work.
