What to do with Blue Wire with Install Harness # ETBC7 with Curt Echo Mobile C51180

Question

Question:

Hello My vehicle already had a 4-pin trailer wiring harness installed, so I bought the ETBC7L 4 to 7-pin kit to use with a Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller Curt part #51189. What do I do with the blue wire on the ETBC7L in this case? Is it simply not used, since the brake controller is downstream? Thanks,
