I actually ordered it via mopar online.
The cable install is trickier than the hitch itself. I also forgot to mention that installing the oem requires a computer activation. My dealer charged $88 dollars as it takes a few attempts and they verified that it actually worked

Oh yeah, it took me about 4 hours for both cables and hitch install. I had to solder a cable and the rest was to install pins in two connectors under the hood and run the cable from the front to the rear. The cable has an already made connector that plugs into a supplied connector (4 and 7 pins).
