I saw that the stock brake controller that mounts in the dash is sold by Rock Auto. Anybody know if a re-flash is necessary for the plug to genuinely function? I'm sure it's there, hidden below the dash.

I dont think it needs a re-flash for the plug to function, it should work without any additional steps.
Yep, you’ll need a re-flash for it to work properly. The plug might be there, but the system won’t recognize it without the update.

I haven’t used that stock brake controller from Rock Auto, but I had a similar experience with my old truck. I installed a new controller, and it worked fine without a re-flash. You might want to check the user manual or ask around to see if anyone else had to re-flash for it to function.

Yeah, I’ve been there. When I upgraded the brake controller on my EV6, I didn’t need a re-flash either, it worked fine right out of the box. I would still say check your manual just in case, but from my experience, you’re likely good to go without any extra steps.
I ran into that issue when I tried to add a new feature to my car. I thought I could just plug it in and be good to go, but nope! I had to schedule a service visit for a re-flash. Once it was done, everything worked like a charm, and I learned my lesson about the importance of those updates.
