7-Way Kit Recommendation For Installing Curt Mobile Echo Brake Controller

Question

Question:

Im looking to install a 7 Pin RV connector on the vehicle, and use the Curt Echo brake controller. Just wondering the best wiring approach to accomplish this. If I use the universal ETBC7 wiring kit should I just leave the brake controller wire unterminated? Thanks
