Recommended Trailer Brake Controller That Plugs Into a 7 Way for a 2023 Chevrolet Express Van
Question:
Hello, I have a 2023 Chevrolet Express van with a flat 4 pin and round 7 pin on the vehicle. Is there an adapter to make both work without having a trailer brake? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller - 7-Way Plug Mount w/ Bluetooth App # C51180 which plugs into your existing 7 way and provides your truck and trailer with trailer braking capabilities.
To control or adjust your braking, you'd just need to download the OneControl app from your app store and you'll be all set.
If you're looking for an adapter that lets you use the 4 pole and the 7 way at the same time then you unfortunately are not going to be able to because manufacturers make their OEM connectors unable to do so. This is due primarily to the fact that using both at the same time could result in a blown fuse/relay for overloading the circuit.
