Hello Joshua; it looks like you already figured this out. Since you already have a 4-way the only thing you need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 you ordered. This comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else required to upgrade a 4-way to a 7-way. It will allow you to install the Curt Spectrum Brake Controller # C72RV you also ordered. With the 7-way and brake controller you will be able to use the brakes on your trailer.
