Expert Reply:
The Toyota Highlander does not have the provision for plugging in the brake controller. You would need to hardwire the controller using the ETBC7, as you mention. Since you already have the 4-way connector, you will not need anything else. Everything you need is included in the installation kit. We have a brake controller installation guide which you might find helpful, I'll include a link to it below.
