Installing a Mopar Trailer Brake Controller in a 2025 RAM 1500

[RamTruckMan]

Looking for estimated or the actual hours a dealer may change for the OEM install.

I think it’s 2 or 3, but you should ask and shop around

My dealer installed the full kit as listed in the original post into my 2025 RAM 1500 Limited and can't get it to communicate. The service advisor is now saying that according to my VIN, my truck is not capable of having a trailer brake controller installed.(?) Not sure why they would sell me a vehicle with a factory class IV receiver and a 7 pin connector if there is no factory TBC possibility. Of course, I don't believe this and I'm coming here for verification. I have the 12" screen.
@RamTruckMan, what say you?

That’s a possibility, but @Cbty2050 would be much more knowledgeable on that side of the house

My guess is dealership error. We have seen it a few times. The module was communicating before.

Looking at the instructions that come with kit P/N 82219240AA, there is a note saying: Before ordering the Mopar Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) kit, it is necessary to check if the vehicle has both trailer brake module connectors. These connectors are located under left side of the steering column. Both connecters are 4 pin connectors. If both connecters are not present the ITBM kit cannot be added to the vehicle.
My truck has the 7 pin trailer connection next to the hitch. I also checked behind the rear seat and the module wiring harness P/N is 68601443AA. I do not see two 4-pin connectors under the left side of the steering column. Does anyone know what this note is about?

The 2 connectors are behind the head unit, bottom left. They used to be under the steering wheel
