Parts Needed to Install the Curt Echo in 2017 Mini Cooper Clubman
Question:
1) I have the Tekonsha 119250KIT in my 2017 MINI Cooper Clubman. If I tap into the wire Ive already run from the battery to the inductive unit, will that provide enough power to both the 119250 and this brake controller? 1a) I gather from reading here, that the 4 pins in the above wiring kit, plus a power wire, are all that I need to supply to this brake controller? No brake wire? 2) If I correctly mount this brake controller within 5 degrees of level, but then I dont TOW the trailer at level, will this unit work? I have a single axle trailer, and its hard to get a drawbar with exactly the right height to tow it precisely level.

On your 2017 Mini Coooper Clubman, the # 119250KIT gives you a 4-way, but you'll still need to install Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7L for the correct wiring to use the Curt Echo # C51180.
You are right about the blue brake wire not being needed for the Echo.
