    Brake controller installation

    I agree with the comments about installing the OEM unit. I purchased the OEM unit and installed it over a weekend. It is a bit tight under the dash but can be done. My aging body allowed me to get into the necessary positions to get it done. AlphaOBD made it possible for me to avoid a trip...

    Unsolved Issue

    AlfaOBD

    Austen, Awesome!!! The last item was not obvious to me as it wasn't near the other "csm" selections. I've changed all the items as you directed and I have the trailer on my screen and in the little window in the gauge panel. Thank you so much. This saved me a trip to the dealer and the dealer...
