Yes you can use the Curt Mobile Echo part # C51180 will work great on your 2018 Ram 2500 that has an OEM controller. If this was installed it would take over the brake output circuit and would not require any additional steps. This would be a really simple and easy solution for a backup brake controller as it would just plug right into your 7-way and once synced to your smart phone is ready to tow with.
