Plug N PLay Harness - Brake Controller

Good news. The Tekonsha 3024-P connector works. I installed this yesterday and though I have not towed with it to confirm it works it does have the right connector and does power up. Here is some pics for future reference.

Hey just did the same plug 3024P and and the p3 controller and it all works so i pluged it into my camper and it says connected aply brakes and it changes numbers for pressure to the brakes question i have since i cant tow camper yet have you towed yet and also when i turn truck off or on the brake conteoller stays lit is there an on off or does it stay on?????? Or automatically turn off over time. Or is this not the correct plug cause there were 2 plugs up under dash and one is still not plugged into anything. Any help would be great
Yes, I have towed with my new brake controller. It worked great and as planned. I followed the instructions and never changed anything. From what I know there is no on/off switch but it does turn off after a while.

Spends too much time on here
The OEM trailer brake requires the "VIN must be updated with the sales code" as per installation instructions (www.mopar.com/moparsvc/pim/media?id=9423704915998) . Step 19 shows two plugs being attached to the module. I'm assuming this is so the trailer brake shows up on the "screen" as per page 415 of the owner's manual:
4. Push the UP or DOWN button on the steering wheel
until “TRAILER TOW” appears on the screen.
5. Push the RIGHT arrow on the steering wheel to enter
“TRAILER TOW”.
6. Push the UP or DOWN buttons until the Trailer Brake
Type appears on the screen.
7. Push the RIGHT arrow and then push the UP or DOWN
buttons until the proper Trailer Brake Type appears on
the screen.
8. In a traffic-free environment, tow the trailer on a dry,
level surface at a speed of 20–25 mph (30–40 km/h) and
squeeze the manual brake control lever completely.
9. If the trailer wheels lockup (indicated by squealing
tires), reduce the GAIN setting; if the trailer wheels turn
freely, increase the GAIN setting.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the GAIN setting is at a point just
below trailer wheel lockup. If towing a heavier trailer,
trailer wheel lockup may not be attainable even with the
maximum GAIN setting of 10.
Am I correct in assuming that you have a functional trailer brake but you do not have the "VIN update" and functions as per 415 of owner's manual?
