  • Instructions for Tekonsha ZCI Wiring Kit Explained for a 2012 BMW 135i
  • I can help explain the instructions better for the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT, but I don't have the details about the wiring on your 2012 BMW 135i so you will need to do some testing with a circuit tester # PTW2992 on your end.
