Having it allow sway control and disabling blis when your trailer is hooked up I believe.I also installed my own 7-pin setup and brake controller. What did you have to use forscan for?

I just had my car in the dealership, if you add an aftermarket 7 pin and did not have factory wiring you can't add the factory functions.To setup sway control and disable blis during tow
That's odd that they said that, because I did. I bought the trailer module(which is what makes it work with forscan) and the rest was aftermarket wiring and 7 pin harness. I use to work at Ford as a technician and most of them don't dive deep into specific vehicles.I just had my car in the dealership, if you add an aftermarket 7 pin and did not have factory wiring you can't add the factory functions.
I also picked this up for $700 today.Got my dealer to install the 4/7 pin harness and hitch from the parts catalog. Looking forward to getting out there with this thing.
If you ever have to tow a boat trailer with hydraulic disk surge brakes, you won't be able to do it with your 4 pin set up. You need a reverse signal to operate the lock out solenoid so you can back down the boat ramp. You can tap into the reverse lamp wire behind one of the tail lights and run your own wire, but it is much more convenient to use a 7pin to 5 pin adapter when needed. If you ever have to tow something with electric brakes, you'll also need the 7 pin set up.So pretty much 7 pin for $425 with installation included. Kind of difficult to justify price difference for 4 pin I got from Curt for $55...
I ordered and installed the Broaddicts hitch myself, simple, took about 30 minutes. Ordered the Ford Accessories 7 /4 pin harness from Ford and paid for the install fee of $120.00 at the same time. My Ford dealer had the Bronco for two and a half days, I don’t how much time they actually worked on it. I got a call at the end of the second day that the harness was causing faults, but it would be ready the next day. When I picked up the Bronco they tried to charge me $487.00, I had to explain to them that I had pre paid the installation and still got a call at home an hour later about paying the bill. I think the $120.00 was a good decision for me.
