Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2012 Ford F-150
Question:
My Lareit did not come with the indast controller. The dealer stated that they had to install one since the trucks computer had to be programed for the brakes to work corectly. If I use your controller, will the trucks computer still have to be updated?

Expert Reply:
If you have a factory 7-way all you will need to install a Tekonsha brake controller would be a Tow Ready Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 22292 that you referenced.
If you have a 4-way you will also need a Tow Package Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118247. This product comes with all the fuses and relays that you would need to activate the 7-way also.
The truck computer should not have to be updated either for one of our controllers to work on your vehicle.
If you are looking for a brake controller we recommend the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller part # 90885 the most because of how easy it is to use and and install.
I attached some helpful install videos for the products I mentioned for you to check out also.
