  • Comparison Between Curt C13316 and Draw Tite 76226 Class III Hitches for 2015 BMW X3
  • Both the Draw-Tite # 76226 and the Curt # C13316 are fits for the 2015 BMW X3. Both hitches are pretty much on par as far as quality goes. The Draw-Tite does have a higher tongue weight and towing capacity as you mentioned, but you'd be limited to the 3500/350 lb rating of the vehicle, so the difference in capacity is pretty much a moot point, as the capacity of the vehicle will always take precedence. Neither hitch would damage anything as long as the vehicle's weight capacity is observed. I...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 1997 BMW 328i Convertible
  • Curt confirms that their Class I # C11177 hitch is a fit for all models of the 1997 BMW 328i, including the convertible. If you don't already have a bike rack in mind, the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches Item # TH934XTR would be a great choice. Even though it is a 4 -bike carrier, it would only allow you to transport 2 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs apiece since you have a Class I hitch. I've linked to an install video for the hitch...

  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH25VR you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2021 BMW X5 and is a fantastic option since it is completely hidden when the removable receiver or ball mount are removed, and has 600lb tongue weight rating and 8000lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for carrying a bike rack, carrying a cargo trailer, or towing a trailer.

  • Can You Change The Ball Mount Height On The Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2017 BMW 3 Series?
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH33VR will come with a 7" Ball Mount # 391BMU7S. When we had this installed on a 2014 BMW 3 series it had a ball height of 18-1/2". You can get either the 5" Ball Mount # 391BMU5S to drop the hitch 2" or the 3" Ball Mount # 391BMU3S to drop the ball height 4". I recommend installing the hitch and connecting your trailer with the 7" ball mount to determine how much your suspension will sag to determine which ball mount will...

  • Will Thule Speedway 3 Bike Rack Part # TH962XT fit a BMW X3
  • The Thule Speedway 3 Bike Rack will not fit your BMW X3. The carrier is not recommended because the top straps should not be mounted directly to glass or plastic trim covering glass. The rack would probably cause damage to the glass or trim. Because of this, none of the trunk/hatch mounted bike racks we carry would work. I would suggest using a hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack. The addition of the hitch will allow you to use other accessories like cargo carriers that you may find useful...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2018 BMW X5
  • While there isn't a direct 7-way kit custom fit for your 2018 BMW X5 we do have what you will need. The first thing you need to install is a 4-way which for that you would want the part # C56190KIT. You would then need to convert to a 7-way with the part # 37185 which plugs right into the 4-way. I attached an install video for the 4-way on a 2018 X5 just like yours for you to check out.

  • Furrion Cameras Not Working Properly From Running Light Circuit
  • It sounds like the running light pin is not providing enough power for the three cameras.

It is designed to connect the trailer wiring from your tow vehicle's 7-way trailer connector. It will provide your cameras extra power.

  • Can Prodigy RF Brake Controller Be Paired Without A Trailer Connected
  • You can start the pairing process for the # TK94FR with the trailer disconnected, but it will need to be connected to finish the pairing. This is the procedure you need to follow to complete the pairing. Connect the RF unit to the tow vehicle, but do not plug the trailer into the RF unit. Then, plug the hand held remote into the 12 volt power port (cigarette lighter). Next, turn the gain to minimum by rolling the power wheel towards the cord of the hand held. The display may show just...

  • Can I Remove Wiring Module From An Old Vehicle And Reprogram For A New Vehicle?
  • It is possible to remove the module from your 2015 BMW X5 and move it to another vehicle. The programming is a service that Stealth Hitch offers, and they can do everything remotely. Once the device is removed from the old vehicle, it will need to be reprogrammed back to the original settings. If the new vehicle requires programming, this can also be done by the folks at Stealth Hitch. This will need to be taken into account when planning the install of the trailer hitch on the new vehicle....

  • Can I Pick Up The Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH26ZE From Your Warehouse?
  • Sorry, Ankur. We no longer offer on site pick up due to having multiple warehouses all over the country. You are going to have to order the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH26ZE and wait for it to ship. You will also likely want to order some Auxiliary Lights # C53201 since your bikes are likely going to impair the view of your tail lights.
