7-Way Installation Process for Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller

Question:

Can I use this adapter and connect the black cable with inline fuse to the battery, ground, and plug in existing 4 pin harness for full function of my Curt Echo Bluetooth controller? I can ignore the other wires?

Yes, you can use the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717 to add a 7-way connection for your Curt Echo # C51180. The process is exactly what you described. You will need to connect the black wire to the battery with a fuse or breaker and also connect the ground wire to the vehicle frame. The blue wire and the yellow wire can be ignored.

For this process I recommend using the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L. This kit comes with the adapter as well as the 12-Gauge wire, 40-amp circuit breaker, ring terminals, screws, and zip ties. The included adapter will also allow you to keep the 4-way functionality should you need it.

I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
