Trailer Brake Control unavailable on 2012 trucks

[mchan68]

Hi guys, my service manager is bugging me to find out if an aftermarket trailer brake control can be installed on 2012 F-350s? Pertaining to the specific truck in question is a 2012 that was built before May 2012. Apparently, before this build date, the option doesn't exist. Is there any way around this? Have any of you come across this issue yet? Here's the VIN for those of you wondering: 1FDRF3GT4CEC201316. Thanks in advance.

I ran that VIN for gits and shiggles... It appears the VIN has been "cancelled"...

It appears to have customer access... according to the wiring diagram. There should be 4 blunt cut wires around the drivers side of the dash that you would wire up to the brake controller. I haven't physically looked at a truck, mind you.
