In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on a 2015 BMW X5 you'll need to start with a 4-way, the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT which does not require splicing which makes it an easy install
Then, you can convert the 4-way to a 7-way with the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation part # ETBC7L. This kit is designed to be used with the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which offers the easiest installation available.
