When we mention having the vehicle flashed when an aftermarket brake controller is installed, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885, it basically means you need to take the vehicle to your nearest dealer and have them reset some settings on your vehicle's computer. Generally telling it to read an aftermarket brake controller instead of an OEM option or activating a tow package.

Jeeps are pretty notorious for needing this done but it can sometimes need to be done on other vehicles. It's just a matter of purchasing the brake controller and testing it. If the brake controller doesn't work and you have installed everything correctly then you may need to have your Ram truck flashed.
