Helpful Expert Reply:
The best adapter for your application is # ETBC7L. This kit includes everything you need to install a 7-way on your vehicle and the kit is easy to install. Most wireless controllers don't need the brake circuit so it will not be included or needed with this adapter.
Once your adapter is installed, the Curt Echo part # C51180 is an awesome brake controller to run for your application. The Echo requires your 12 volt power from the 7-pole. This controller pairs to your phone and works with any vehicle that has a 7-way with a working 12 volt circuit.
