I would be happy to recommend everything you will need to change the 4-way connector on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to a 7-way connector and adding a trailer brake controller.
First you will need to install the # ETBC7 which will plug into your factory 4-way connector and only require a few more wiring connections as shown in the included video. To mount the 7-way connector to your trailer hitch receiver I recommend the # 18136.
Now for a trailer brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 which is our most popular trailer brake controller due to it being extremely reliable and having a great features like and easy to read LCD screen, and built in diagnostics that are easy to read and understand.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
