Hey Bryan, she was probably referring to the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller # C51180 which just plugs into your 7-way and uses Bluetooth to connect and control your brakes.
From what I understand these things are always having connectivity issues, so I'd recommend steering towards the Curt Echo Under-Dash Bluetooth Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # C96SV instead.
This brake controller is also Bluetooth, includes a simple plug in wiring harness, and can also handle trailers with up to 4 axles.
