OEM Brake Controller Requires Reflash ??
I have a new 2012 Screw XLT that came with Tow Pkg ...but did not have the OEM brake controller. I just purchased the OEM brake controller and found threads that describe the plug-n-play install.
I understand the "plug-n" part as there is a factory connector in the dash that simply plugs into the controller. As far as the "Play" part ...most threads indicate the option must be enabled by having the dealer enable the option in the truck's computer?
My salesman contacted the service dept. where I bought my truck and they are telling him they are 100% plug-n-play and they don't need to do anything to make the controller work.
So now I'm confused. Can someone shed some light?

Thanks, I'll see if I can find the procedure in the manual to get it set up properly. I do have the towing package and the 7 pin plug at the bumper.

If you order the TBC from the factory its $230.
You can buy a TBC for $95 from tasca, $130 max for the reflash and you are still coming out ahead.
