Installing a Mopar Trailer Brake Controller in a 2025 RAM 1500

[RamTruckMan]

I'm looking to install this kit into ny 25 ram 1500 big horn. I have the correct wiring with the 2 plugs, tried to but just the module and the switch dealer is telling me the module isn't available...can I order the kit and just not use the wiring??!!

For twice as much, yes. Did you read the OP???

I sure did but the dealer is telling me I cannot get the module alone...I can do the install....but I can't get the parts...thats my issue.

Also I'm seeing the kit about 280 and the parts I was inquiring about through the dealer were not much less...maybe 20 bucks

You’ll need a proxy alignment afterwards. Only the dealership can do that currently

Correct. I just wanted to make sure the kit would work since that's all I can seem to get. I'll install all but the wires then bring in for proxy

Sounds like a plan

Yeah but your dashboard will flash. Also, probably don’t tow

I have a 2025 Ram 1500 with build date of 04/2024. Today the dealer quoted me $336.00 for the controller and $1174.00 to install. I haven't checked to see what wiring I have. Being this was built early 2024 could I be lucky enough not to have changed to 2025 build yet? I just checked and tag # is P68569521AB -T00037400862.

Ok Thanks I was at the dealer trying to purchase 68569520-AB and he told me that for my vin I need 68569521-AB only changed by one number. Does this make sense. I have gone back and read this whole thread and a few like it and I am kind of get what needs to happen, I am just amazed at how the dealers don't know the answers and don't seem to keep the products in stock. Thanks to everyone who has added information

I just checked and the tag number on mine is #68569521AB. Any idea what I need to install a brake controller? Thanks
