Congrats on the upgrade and welcome back! Since your 2024 Subaru Outback already has a 4-way connector you will just need to add the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7.
The item # ETBC7 kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your Subaru with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle, like yours, with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it.
You will then connect the blue wire to the blue wire on the brake controller, since you're using the Curt Echo item # C51180 you can skip this step. I recommend capping it off incase you want to use a wired controller down the road. Then you'll have to connect the black wire to the positive post on your Subaru's battery, the white wire to a suitable ground, and the yellow wire to vehicle's reverse circuit if applicable. This will provide you with the ability to control your trailer's brakes and also provide you with a 12v power wire for you trailer's accessory lights.
