Since your 2020 Ford Edge already has a 4-way connector installed you will just need the # ETBC7L which was created specifically for the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180 you were wanting. This kit will plug in to your existing 4-way connector and just require you to run the black wire to the positive terminal of your battery with the included 40 amp circuit breaker, and ground the white wire to the frame of your vehicle.
The # C51180 does not require the brake output wire as it uses the brake light wire of your 7-way to know when to send power to the trailer brakes. It only requires a 12v power wire.
Now if the trailer hitch receiver you have on your Edge does not have a built in mounting bracket for a 7-way connector you will also need a no drill mounting bracket # 18140 which will give you a place to mount the 7-way to.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
