Curt 4 to 7 Way Adapter for the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Jeep JKU with a 4 way trailer plug. Can I assume that installing C57672 and running the black wire will use 10 ga wire to the battery with 30 amp breaker will provide full functionality for the Echo wireless controller. The white wire will be grounded to the frame as specified and the blue and yellow wire will be taped up and not used. Appreciate all your help.
