2019-2023 Ram 1500 Electronic Trailer Brake Controller Installation - Easy DIY Plug & Play Install!

[@pricklymofo]

Finally was able to get around to install this trailer brake kit. Truly plug 'n play. Installed effortlessly and caused no error codes. Only downside was having to contort my fat carcass in order to see what the heck I was doing. 😁 Tips for the next person installing this kit: Stretch. Find or acquire a loooong phillips head extension to install the bracket screws easier. I have one that's about 12" in length. When installing the new controller in the lower dash section, make sure you have the little channel guide/slot aligned as you're pushing in to the click tabs. The two knee bolster screws in my 2021 Ram 1500 (non Classic) were 7mm hex heads. In order to remove the OBDII plug, there are click tabs at the top and bottom. Not the (4) tabs, (2) at each side of the plug.

All I can say is, I tried another seller. Had to go in and program with laptop. When I finished, I had a warning trailer brakes need service. I went back to the start, bought this kit. Installed per this video and everything works right. I went into settings on right of radio, set to light electric, set to stock trailer and saved. All is good for my 2020 Dodge Ram.

We're really happy that you had a great experience with our product! Enjoy the upgrade!!

[@ranger5814]

With your set up, we don't need to go into the set up on an OBD or laptop and set up the trailer name, brake type, and activate brake control module.

[@Infotainment_nav]

That's correct! You just temporarily install the security gateway bypass, and then the OBDGenie does the rest!

My truck came factory with a hitch and a 4 & 7 pin receptacle at the rear bumper. I assume there is no other wiring that needs to be done if you install this controller?

[@Infotainment_nav]

That's correct! You'll just be installing the module, switch, and run the programming!

Does the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 brake controller package SKU C-BDLTBC-DT include everything needed for install and programming and factory parts? I think the price is $399

[@Infotainment_nav]

Yes everything in our kit is included. You don't need anything else to make this upgrade possible. infotainment.com/shop/interior-accessories/towing/2019-2023-ram-1500-heavy-duty-truck-integrated-electronic-trailer-brake-controller/

Do you have to disconnect the battery?

[@antcri730]

$400 is a ridiculously high price for a brake controller.

Does this have a negative effect on the trucks warranty?

[@Infotainment_nav]

This is a completely plug and play factory OEM upgrade package. The upgrade uses factory OEM parts and programming. You do not have to cut or splice wires to perform the installation, maintaining the factory OEM integrity of the vehicle. That being said, because of this it will not have any negative effect on the trucks warranty.

[@misplacedcaper9662]

@@Infotainment_nav Thanks for your reply. I was just worried about BCM programming outside of the dealership network causing me any issues when it's in for service.

[@christina4778]

What is really frustrating is when you order and install which is not as easy as he makes it look in the video but then go to do the programmimg and it doesnt work.
