Both of the Curt Echo brake controllers are solid options that allow you to control the trailer braking from your smart phone but they have very different installs which leads to slightly different strengths.
The wireless part # C51180 has advantage of a slightly easier install with much less wiring since it just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow with. It also allows for very easy transferring to other vehicles...downside to that is it could potentially get stolen easily too.
The under-dash version part # C27JR and the install kit for your 2022 Kia Telluride # C77BR is a more permanent install that mounts in vehicle interior that once installed would be less to remember and install when towing. So you have a slightly more in-depth install but after that it's easier. This would be what I would go with unless for some reason you have plans to transfer the brake controller to other vehicles frequently.
