I have just what you need to convert the 4-way on a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 into a 7-way so you can use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180. For this, you'll just need the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation part # ETBC7L nothing else.
In regards to installation; you just need to plug the two 4-ways in, ground the white wire, and run the back wire to the battery.
