We have a great solution to convert the 4-way of your 2019 Kia Sorento to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller. The brake controller I recommend though is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 as this is the easiest to install controller that works great and doesn't require mounting a box on your dash. Basically you just plug this into your 7-way (once installed) and then sync it to your smartphone and your set!
Now to convert your 4-way to a 7-way and install the Echo all you need is the install/adapter kit part # ETBC7L.
I attached a review video for this controller for you to check out as well.
