Thanks. Duke
No coding required as I went with the basic wiring harness that’s included with the kit. The only thing that wasn’t straightforward was the wiring of the reverse lights to the 7 round connector. My boat trailer requires this to disable to the surge brakes when backing the trailer. The stealth hitch wiring harness doesn’t account for this need so I had to wire it myself using a relay and tapping into the reverse light circuit. The install itself is pretty easy. It’s just a matter of muscling the bumper off. The clips require a lot of force to break loose which is an uncomfortable task as it feels like you’re going to break something. I didn’t use a lift, just worked on it in a buddies garage.
