Can Curt Spectrum Brake Controller Bypass OEM Controller of 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
My 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 3.0 already has the integrated brake controller BUT IT HAS FAILED. Can I install the Curt Spectrum in my 2020 Chevy Silverado? Do I need special cables to bypass the current system such as the Brake Power Control Module Assembly and brake controller dash switch?

Expert Reply:
You can bypass the OEM brake controller of your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the Curt Spectrum part # C51170 but the truck will need to be taken to a dealer so they can reflash the the computer. The correct install harness for your truck and this controller is the part # C51525.
