I haven't updated it but the uhaul controller crapped out after about 6 months. It worked fine with my boat but once I hooked it up to the uhual trailer the module blew up and they won't replace it because I didn't buy the warranty.
The aftermarket hitch is great... wiring is a different story.
Would love to help you...
Do you have the back up sensors has mentioned above?
