Hello, I recently bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with the intention of pulling my travel trailer. I had been test driving several trucks over a few days and most had the integrated trailer brake controller. I guess when I finally decided on the Ram, I forgot to notice that it did not have the trailer brake installed, but I looked online and saw that many other owners had installed their own and even flashed their computer. I bought an after market controller (not OEM) and installed it, bought an OBDlink LX reader and the alfaobd app. The app seems to be working, but I cannot find the trailer brake option. What am I doing wrong? I took the truck to the dealer who said that they could flash the computer, but then they said that they could only do it if they installed the factory controller...for $980.00. I did notice that the brakes work, but I guess I can't set the power of the trailer brakes unless my computer is flashed. Thank you for your advice.
