The connector you removed from the square blank looks identical to the stock controller. It appears the truck is prewired and the switch just needs to be installed. I can't say for certain. I'm only assuming it would work that way because that's how I installed power folding mirrors on my 2017, the wiring harnesses was already there, I just installed the switch with the power folding option and it worked. Nice install though, mostly with the accelerometer module, that's a neat feature.
Yes the wiring provision is there for the factory tow controller. However the programming in the BCM and dash cluster is not. Others have tried installing the factory brake controller only to left empty handed when it doesn’t work without custom programming, at which point I don’t think anyone does. Thanks for watching. The Redarc controller works wonderfully. Set it and forget it.
I honestly haven’t had to use it yet! I know a damn shame. But I haven’t needed my work trailer in a while so I haven’t been able to really test it out.
I about to pull the trigger on this set up for my 22’ Sierra 1500. Did it work ok? I really do appreciate you taking the time to make a video on this, it will make install so much easier. 🫡🇺🇸
Yes. It works great. After you install the unit and plug your trailer in take a drive and calibrate the system. It takes like 20 brake applications to calibrate. But after that it’s really “set it and forget it.” I’m pleased with it.
Patiently waiting for the bump stop video. But this was very interesting 🤔
Great job as always, take care brother 👍
Soon! Thanks as always for watching.

thanks for sharing . It helped me a lot in my installation.
Glad to hear.
What’s the connection you said it’s not needed for? The one behind the cover
Thank you
No idea.
Any updates on this controller?
