OEM Trailer Brake Install Question
New Member Question. I am ordering the OEM brake controller system.
It will arrive on Friday late, but I wanted to use it Saturday morning.
Can I have the computer "flashed" BEFORE I install my actual brake module?
UPS delivery leaves little time for a dealer visit on Friday
Thanks

I don't believe the system can be programmed until it is installed. It needs to be able to recognize the parts.

Install the controller, relay and fuse... then have it flashed. I had mine flashed at the dealership on my old 2009 while at my truck was in for the routine maintenance agreement service at 35,000 miles, then did it for free. Take literally 5 minutes.

Nice - it should be a simple install for them.
My truck didn't have the trailer towing package, so I had a harness to buy, and a couple of wires to run. I love the OEM controller.

The dash is nice and smooth... I set the gain at 6- and let it go to work... it is great!
