Hey Gary, the wireless version of the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 is not my favorite option as we have found it just isn't super reliable, but the other versions part # C79DR and # C27JR are actually really solid and they would work well for you.
The part # C79DR installs inline with the 7-way at the rear of your truck and would work great to bypass your OEM controller. This would be the best solution since you want to bypass a controller. The # C27JR is for like a new install and not ideal to bypass a controller.
