brake plus rear end collision deterrent system

[Dmouton]

Does anyone else have this brake plus rear end collision deterrent system installed on their truck from the dealer? It makes your 3rd braked light flash 3 or 4 times then goes steady on like usual. I sure didn't want it but it was already on the truck and my dealer charged $400 for it which in my opinion is crazy. I've looked online and there isn't any installation info on this. If you go to the company website http://brakeplususa.com/ the installation is password protected for dealers only. I'm trying to find out where it's installed to move it to my camper shell that will be getting installed this month.

They are usually installed at the third brake light assembly, at least that’s where we use to install them back in the day.....

They're everywhere

The dealer here is a 'volume' dealer that puts them on every vehicle the sell as a non-negotiable item, along with nitrogen in the tires and few other items.  General Manager said it's to ensure at least a little profit on every vehicle, but I don't know, seems like the new version of 'undercoating'.  At least on these, you can actually see that something was installed.  

 

Have you tried asking the dealer for the install instructions, or just talking to one of the techs?  If they put them on all the vehicles like the dealer here, I'm sure there a multiple techs there that know exactly where they put them on each model.

I would have walked straight out the front door at "non-negotiable"....
