Parts Needed To Install Curt Echo In-Line On 2025 Kia Telluride Without Trailer Wiring  

Updated 10/10/2026 | Published 10/05/2026

Question:

Our 2025 Telluride SX has LED taillights and a hitch, but no trailer wiring. What do I need to install a Curt Echo In-Line? We'll be towing a camper, but I'd also like a 4-pin connection for the utility trailer we borrow.

Hey Lauren! For your Telluride with LED taillights, you'll need to start by adding the Curt 4-Way Wiring Harness # C29ZV. From there, use the etrailer Installation Kit # e556GR to add a 7-way with the USCAR connector required to install the Curt Echo In-Line # C79DR.

The kit comes with the wiring, breakers, and hardware for installation. It also has both a 4-way and a 7-way outlet, so you'll be able to connect your camper or utility trailer without needing an adapter.

What camper will you be towing?

My ‘26 Nissan Armada has the tow package and thus the necessary wiring, but oddly not a factory trailer brake controller. I installed the Echo without much difficulty. The system paired easily and works well, but I get a “wiring problem” error message every time I open the app. Despite assurances from Curt that the problem would be corrected in a future software update, so far the message persists. Does not appear to affect performance.

@Jeff - ya, I've been getting that "wiring problem" error too. I contacted Curt about it and they downloaded the logs. After 2 weeks, I hadn't heard a response. So. about 2 weeks ago, I contacted them for a follow up - their response was a "fix would be released in about a week" - like I said, that was 2 weeks ago. I'm not thrilled about Curt's support.

@Jay that's frustrating, especially when Curt gave you a timeline for the fix and it hasn't happened yet. Hopefully they get the app updated soon. I appreciate you sharing your experience here so others are aware of the issue.

@Jeff glad to hear the Echo was easy to install and is working well on your Armada! That wiring error sounds frustrating, especially when everything is functioning properly. Hopefully Curt gets the software update out soon to take care of it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Lauren, Bought this system a few years ago. You won't regret getting this bluetooth brake controller device. I've installed old-school units and it is a pain compared to this type of unit - well worth the extra $ for ease of installation. And in my experience with both types, the brake force is much smoother. The fact that you control it with your phone is remarkable (and handy!), where you can make various settings on-the-go. I pull a 8000 lb Airstream with a Range Rover (diesel, thank the lord!), and it is seamless and safe. Good luck!

@JimF thanks for the feedback! It's great to hear how well the Echo has worked for you, especially towing an 8,000 lb Airstream. The easy installation and ability to make adjustments from your phone are definitely some of its biggest advantages. I'm sure Lauren will appreciate the firsthand feedback!
