The Curt Echo Mobile brake controller # C51180 is a really good solution for you as it's very easy to install on vehicles that aren't pre-wired for brake controllers like your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and you end up with a really great performing brake controller.
To convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller only requires the 7-way adapter kit part # ETBC7L. The 4-way of this plugs into the 4-way of your vehicle and once you run the included wiring and breaker up to the vehicle's positive battery post it's active enough to allow the Echo to function. This saves you from having to hardwire in a brake controller which requires tapping into the brake signal of your vehicle and running a few other wires too.
