We actually have a version of the # ETBC7 that we put together specifically with the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 in mind with the # ETBC7L which comes with just the components needed for the Echo.

The ETBC7 comes with the same components plus additional ones that you won't need but if you have it already it can still be used. I attached install instructions and install video links to this page for more info as well. Basically your 4-way plugs into the adapter and then you will just run a single wire to the vehicle battery and you'd be set.

Hey Ray, so we have the part #18159 which would work great to secure the 7-way of the #ETBC7L that you'll be installing with the Curt Echo #C51180. It's also pretty easy to install too.

Hi George, We can get your 2024 Kia Telluride a 7-way, but I checked with our manufacturers and unfortunately there isn't a plug-in option like you were wanting. So you would need a couple parts to add a 7-way, with the first one depending on the…

Hello Scott. The #ETBC7L kit is exactly what you need to upgrade your 4-flat to a 7-way and use the Curt Echo Controller. Since you have a boat trailer with a reverse lockout, you will need to locate the reverse light circuit on your vehicle. I do…

If you have a vehicle specific wiring harness for a brake controller then that would indicate that you have a factory tow package and subsequently would already have a 7-way at the back of your vehicle. The universal 7-way connector #ETBC7 is meant…
