Helpful Expert Reply:
There are a couple key differences between the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 and the Echo Under Dash # C27JR with the install harness part # C77BR. If you wanted the absolute easiest install that literally takes seconds go with the Echo Mobile as it just plugs into an active 7-way. That's it's biggest strength. The downside is that it's reception isn't as solid as the other option and it's a little more vulnerable being just plugged in outside of your vehicle.
If you don't mind a slightly more involved install the Under Dash is the way to go. It's basically an invisible brake controller that has better and more consistent signal reception to your phone
