Looking to add this to my 2021 RAM. Absolutely great video, well done!

Wow I was just thinking how will it work and you corrected yourself saying you forgot. I appreciate the video.

Thank you sir!

I ordered the brake controller with my truck and I must say it works very well. I was using a the Curt Bluetooth brake controller with my other vehicle. I worked well but I like this integrated controller better. Great video.

Why do you like this better than the Curt Bluetooth?

@danielbarrett6026

@@fredlevine4155I bought the Curt when I was in a pinch and didn't have time to install an aftermarket controller. If I lose the Bluetooth connection (which happens occasionally) I can't use the manual override. I don't have to worry about theft just in case I forget to unplug it after use (which is a possibility). I like a lever vs using a phone screen to activate the manual override. Its one less cord in the way having the phone plugged in constantly. I still have it. I prefer a factory integrated controller better.

Many thanks, although I'm just putting in an aftermarket controller on the 2021 Ram I just bought. Thankfully the 4 pin connector just needs the cable to plug in a controller, the brake signal is already enabled.

Perfect video thank you!

Thanks for a great video. I was leary of installing mine and was curios if I actually had to go back to the dealer for programming. That's the only part that sucks.

I have a 2019 and have to get this on in the next 36 hours. This vid is excellent! Hope it works on the '19 as the '22, looks similar. BTW, a shop quoted me nearly $400 to do this job.

Nice explanation and break down new subscriber 👍

Awesome video, where did you buy the part? I have a 2022 Rebel and I need to do the same thing.

Can you use a after market brake controller that fits the same way,,, great video.

How much was the part, and how much did they charge you to program?

Are you going to update this with the OEM part #'s?

Can you give the links to the place you bought the parts please. Thank you also

Can you make a video for the 2020 chevy Silverado 2500 too?

Definitely the brake control should be included in the factory towing package, particularly if you option the Class V, reciever. If you’re towing anything Class V.

Excellent video, except for the wiring mistake LOL. I bought a 2019 RAM brand new. No trailer brake controller installed. They were on back order, so I had to install an aftermarket controller. It works great! In my opinion, every RAM with a hitch receiver and 7-way plug should have a brake controller installed. It was ridiculous back in 2020 to buy a truck without one installed. RAM should have never let that happen.

Fantastic video. I'm hoping to install my trailer brake this weekend. Local dealer wants to charge me $500 for the part and $200 for labor! I found the OEM part for $100 with module and all :P To heck with dealers, man. Do you know if the install is the same on units with the smaller screens and more physical dials?

Is this the same install process on a V6 Ram model?

Do you have a video for a OEM trailer brake controller for a 2021 Dodge Durango RT? I'm looking behind the dash in the same area you showed for the RAM 1500... and i don't see any wires to connect to the brake controller module.

3 hours later and with a lot of frustration it's in! The wiring plug for the controller is NOT in the bundle of wires that contain the plugs for the module! Instead it is cleverly disguised in the bundle of wires on the center of the dash that you remove but that little tidbit is never mentioned. Secondly there may only be two screws that hold the section of the dash in that the controller goes and there are 2 clips on top AND 2 on the bottom.

Mmmmm I got the kit and followed. I'm having a weird issue. when I test the gain it pops up on the dash but stays at 0%.

Was looking at purchasing this for my truck but the seller is a dealer and says it would need programming? Did you have to do any programming?

does it qork on 2021 classic?

A lot of questions here about using after market rather oem and not 1 answer

Alex, when you install this and have it programmed at the dealer, do the brake control graphics to tell you a trailer is connected show up on the instrument cluster? My '22 Rebel has this from the factory and it is displayed on the instrument cluster when you connect a trailer. Bill from Linglestown, Pennsylvania

When you squeeze the controller when no trailer is connected, does the gauge fill in on the screen? My brother has a 19 rebel. His does but does not say "trailer not connected" My 22 says "trailer not connected" and gauge doesn't fill in

Anyone have all the part numbers from mopar to do this?

For some reason when I ordered my truck it was not an available option no one could tell me why it just wasn’t. But I would definitely like to add it if possible.

Super easy to do. A little costly compared to other options but in my opinion worth it!

What is a fair price to have this done ?

These are horrible for ele/Hyd brakes. They pulse a signal to the pump which never allows the calipers from filling releasing. I am about to pull mine out today to replace with a P3

Yeah, well, neither dealer near me would program the control unit unless you bought from a dealer and had them install. Highway robbery, and they got it in crooked and the + brake stuck on, went to 10, then errored out. I HATE GOING TO DEALERS! Should have bought a programmer and tamper device and done it myself, except any recall flash would uninstall the brake controller software update.

Off topic , but do you know of way to bypass or permanently disable the MDS on a 17 power wagon ?

I was told there is a plug into your OBD connection that makes the truck think you have a trailer attached and therefore won't shut down the engine. I don't know what brand or name of the device is. I was told by a friend who does lighting installation on government vehicles.

I was going to buy one and just put one of my truck like you did the dealership told me when I bring it in to get a programmed if it doesn't work it's not on them and then I got to pay the $60 to have the truck flashed

Im not sure about that. All these trucks use the sam wiring harnesses but you would probably need an additional module and a ecm flash to get it up and running. So it should be possible to add that feature

Does anyone know the part number of the blank switch that Mopar uses? Need to go back to OEM without the brake controller switch!

For anyone interested the dealer charged $62.50 plus tax to program the controller.

that seems odd. Is your connector directly from Mopar? and make sure you have the right part number if so. I would unplug everything and see if everything goes back to normal first. if it does repeat the process and plug the trailer brake controller back in. if you have the same issues I would get the dealer to install it. the controller may need to be programed in to correct the issues.

not 100% necessary the trailer brake will work. but you won't have the trailer screen telling you your settings. you kind of just have to go off my feel. It's worth it in my opinion. if you are spending the money on the oem part. why not pay an extra 60 bucks to get programmed.
