• Wireless Or Wired Trailer Brake Controller For a 2022 BMW X5 With Factory Tow Package
• The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 is going to be the easiest solution for adding a brake controller on your 2022 BMW X5 with the factory tow package. The biggest benefit is there is no wiring being added on your BMW. A hardwired option like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 takes up space on your dash and may be less desirable to see every day.

• Availability of Surge Disc Actuator for Boat Trailer that Can be Manually Locked Out
• The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX29FR is for disc brakes and comes with a manual lockout key which you could use to manually lock it out and reverse the trailer without brakes locking up. It's a little odd but the surge disc brake actuators are basically all electric lock out so this would be your best option.

• Recommended Wiring Harness and Hitch for a 2012 BMW X5
• It does not. The Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT36GR is just the trailer hitch. To add wiring to your 2012 BMW X5 you will need the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit item # 119250KIT. To round out your towing setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip,...

• Rhino-Rack or Yakima Platform Rack for Carrying Bikes on an SUV
• If you're planning on loading bikes on a platform then the Yakima LockNLoad would be better than the Rhino-Rack Pioneer simply because the LockNLoad is a bit more user friendly when it comes to installing different types of carriers. The 2 most common sizes for the LockNLoad are the 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39 and the 60" Long x 54" Wide # Y05045-39. All of the larger style require a 3-crossbar mounting system. If you can let me know what SUV you will be using for this I can make...

• Replacement Cover for Thule Edge Flush Rail Feet
• It looks like the passenger side cover is missing. The left and right are from the perspective of someone sitting in the vehicle facing forward. So the passenger side would be the Replacement Cover for Thule Edge Flush Rail - Right # TH33EE. The driver side cover would be the Replacement Cover for Thule Edge Flush Rail - Left # TH93EE. These are the same as the 1500054245 and 1500054246 that fit your Edge Flush Rail Feet # TH89SC.

• 4-Way Wiring Harness for 2016 BMW X3
• Tekonsha actually says there are no custom fit electrical wiring products for your 2016 BMW X3.

The # 119250KIT we list is a universal wiring harness so we know it will fit your vehicle. This uses the zero-contact interface sensors that clamp onto the wires. It is the only option that will not require splicing. The only other option for a wiring harness...

• Can I Remove Wiring Module From An Old Vehicle And Reprogram For A New Vehicle?

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.

• Does Stealth Hitches Offer The Trailer Wiring Harness Separate From The Towing Kit
• Hey Alec, Stealth Hitches unfortunately does not offer the wire harness separately from the complete tow ball kit # 391CONVA7 so you would need to either purchase the whole kit again or reach out to Stealth Hitches to see if they could ship you just the wire harness.

• Will Draw-Tite Hitch Fit 2020 BMX X5 With M Sport Package
• The # DT96GR fits all models of the 2020 X5 except those with the M Sport package or M models. This means it will not fit your X5. The only option for models with the M Sport package is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR. If you plan on towing you will need the # SH25VR with the towing kit instead. The basic hitch comes with a receiver rated for accessories. When you add the towing kit you also get a ball mount and 7-way wiring for trailer towing.
