Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

[Sigfla]

I am having the same problem as a few others here. I installed my mopar TBC and activated via JScan. I have the settings menu on uconnect and my dash shows the gain and trailer menu. However I had to do a factory reboot of my radio to get the trailer/towing app and gauges app/widget to show. It only lasted for 24 hours then it disappeared. Will a dealer sales code flash added to my vin fix the issue? I added cargo lights to my truck w/out the sales code flash just Jscan activation and they haven’t been removed. I know others who have added amp steps again w/out a sales code flash and had no issues. Why is the TBC app being zapped by my internal modem?

Hi,

I have a '22 Bighorn Level 1 (details in signature). I bought the following parts separately:

68277136AF trailer tow module
68309259AC switch instrument panel
68346572AB module bracket
6510468AA x3 nuts
6101946 x3 screws

All of these parts cost me exactly $150.36 plus about $15 shipping from BAM Wholesale. I spent an additional $150 plus tax to have it installed at the dealership, which included programming. So "all in" about $330.

The complete kit (82215278AF) that includes all these parts costs about $300 (plus installation). I would not recommend buying the kit...rip off.

If you don't mind digging into the dash, and have and are comfortable with AlfaOBD or similar tools, you can get this project done for about half of what I paid (i.e., around $165).

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this thread and helped me along the way (even if you did not know you were doing it)!

Glad i have been scrolling through this for a while and found this post. I was looking up kits and finding them for like 300-350$ JUST the kit and figured i was doing something wrong or inflation from the original post over 3-4 years have made them that expensive. THANK YOU. Im dumb when it comes to all the bypass, jscan, alph, obd2, tazer, all that stuff and dont have any of it, also dont trust myself doing it, installing no problem but not all that, my dumbass will delete the whole software of the truck somehow lol. Ill be taking mine to the stealership as well. So did you just show up with this kit and say here, install it and that was it or did you need anything else?
