Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
I will be towing my camper that has brakes with my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited so I need a brake controller and a 7-way harness. Is there an easy solution? I really don't like wiring or drilling into my dash..

I have an easy solution to install a 7-way and brake controller in your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that will have minimized install time and wiring! So the first thing you need is a 4-way connector (which eventually gets converted to 7-way) to provide the taillight circuit functions for the trailer wiring. For that the Tekonsha kit part # 118786 is the easiest to install and most reliable. One wire runs up to the vehicle battery, but the rest of the wiring is taken care of by connectors that install in line with the taillight connectors of the Jeep. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
Now the easiest to install brake controller is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smartphone is ready to go without any complex wiring!
The 7-way adapter you'll need then is the part # ETBC7L which easily adapts the 4-way to a 7-way and comes with all connections needed to be made for the Echo.
