Easy 4-Way to 7-Way Brake Controller Solution for 2020 Kia Sorento
Question:
Im installing this on a 2020 Kia Sorrento
asked by: Jorge
Expert Reply:
To activate trailer brakes you do have to have a brake controller installed in your 2020 Kia Sorento. I do have a really easy solution thought that uses a similar adapter to the # C57672. So for a brake controller I recommend the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180 which basically plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone can easily activate trailer brakes.
Now the 7-way adapter kit you'd want instead is the # ETBC7L which comes with a similar 4-way to 7-way adapter and also comes with the wiring needed to run to the vehicle battery for the Echo.
