I am new to the forum
I am installing the Factory Integrated Brake Controller
and what I have read on the ramforums, is that I need to have it activated (woken up)
I got a price of 110.00 because it will take 1.5 hours
Sounds like a long time

  1. Can I do it with out scanner tool
  • If I need scanner tool, should I buy it if I want to add garage buttons and that needs to be activated (any good deals that been used and worked)
  • is it hard to do?


thanks

Hour and half seems long but the price is about right.

1 no you need the tool so the computer recognize it.
2 I would not buy the tool, the star scanner is like 3 grand.
3 I have no idea.

Yea that time must be for them to install and flash. I would put it in my self. Pretty easy. Took maybe 45 min. There is a thread on here that tells you how to remove the stereo. I used that to get the panel off. Good luck. My dealer charged 59.00 to flash.

brake controller hooked up but confused

Thanks just was looking at all the stuff I want to add (back up camera, plug in Instrument Panel, and garage door opener) I like adding stuff I dont need
and its adding up the cost of flashing each item I want to see if they will do a couple for better price
I installed brake controller today it took an hour that top bolt sucked
I found a video on you tube it was helpful to tell what you have to do
www.youtube.com

its showing on the screen in the corner and I can adjust the setting 0.0 - 10 but not in the center of screen (were speed is) does it have to show there to work or does it work when you hook a trailer up

thx
