  • Brake Controller and 7-way Trailer Connector For 2008 BMW X3
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR can be installed in almost any vehicle. It will work with your 2008 BMW X3. We have found that the # TK94FR Prodigy RF does sometimes have problems pairing with European cars. There are ways to make this work, but a hardwire connection is always the most reliable. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This brake controller will splice into your vehicle's existing wiring system and...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 90 Pound Hobie Mirage Oasis Kayak and 2013 BMW X3
  • For a roof rack that will fit your 2013 BMW X3 with the side rails that run front to back you can use a Thule rack using the following parts: 47 inch SquareBars # TH712200 or WingBar # TH711220 Thule feet # TH710601 Fit kit # TH186007 This rack has a 165 pound capacity. But check the X3 owners manual to determine the capacity of the roof and if lower go by the lower capacity. You can then use the Stacker, # TH830. It does not have a capacity because it will be holding up a kayak placed...

The trailer wiring harness has a simple plug and play installation that plugs behind the driver and passenger side tail lights externally. The wire is constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire.

  • What Kind of Trailer Wiring Harness Carries 12V Power for 2016 BMW X3
  • The type of wiring harness installed determines whether it will carry a 12V auxiliary power signal. The trailer wiring we offer for the 2016 BMW X3 is a 4-pole flat type setup like # 119250KIT that carries only lighting signals (stop/turn/tail). If on the other hand your dealership installed a 7-way type trailer socket, this is designed to carry all of the lighting signals carried on the 4-pole plus up to three additional circuits, usually used for reverse lights, trailer brakes and 12V...

  • Parts Needed To Install a Trailer Mounted Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way on a 2013 BMW X3
  • I have another recommendation for you as both the Tekonsha ZCI and Prodigy RF are on an extended backorder and we are not sure when we will start seeing them come in again. First you will want to start by installing the Curt 4-Way # C59236 on your 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i. Then you will need the 7-Way Kit # ETBC7L for connecting your camper with electric brakes. This kit allows you to connect to the 4-way but also includes wiring for a charge line which will provide power for the braking system...

  • Roof Rack Recommended for 2013 BMW X3 With Bare Roof
  • Most X3 models were equipped with the roof rails, so I initially thought you might be out of luck, but after searching around I found that Yakima offers a JetStream roof rack that would work perfectly on the bare roof of your 2013 BMW X3. To assemble the rack, you'll need the following parts: • 50 Inch JetStream crossbars in black as # Y00425 • BaseLine Tower Feet, part # Y28TR • Front Fit Clip # Y06123 • Rear Fit Clip # Y06127

  • Diversi-Tech Ball Adjustable Ball Mount with a 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball
  • The balls on the Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTALBM6425, cannot be changed to accommodate a 1-7/8 inch ball, however, you can pickup part # DTALBM6407 which is the same product except it comes with a 2 inch ball and a 1-7/8 ball that you are looking for. This ball mount has the same rise and drop dimensions and fits 2 inch hitches, but keep in mind that the towing capacity of this ball mount, when using the 1-7/8 inch ball, is limited to 2,000 lbs.

  • How Many Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders are Needed for a Rack and SUP Taxi on a 2017 BMW X3
  • The Thule Roof Rack you are seeking has been discontinued for your vehicle. Instead I recommend the Thule rack which consists of parts # TH711120, # TH710601 and # TH186007 for your 2017 BMW X3 with flush mounted rails. You will need 4 lock cores like the part # TH450400 that you referenced to secure the rack to your vehicle. Since the Thule SUP Taxi XT # TH810001 uses 4 locks cores you actually only need 8 lock cores to get everything keyed alike. This can be found with part # TH450800. If...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2019 BMW X3
  • We do have some trailer hitch and wiring options for your 2019 BMW X3. For a hitch I recommend using the Draw-Tite Class III # 76226 as it fits all models of your X3. Then for wiring you'll need the T-One # TK77FR which tees in behind your tail lights and gives you a 4-Way for basic lighting. To add the correct 4-Way and 7-Way connectors we will need to determine the purpose of having those sockets. We can mount the sockets to our receiver using the Easy Mount Bracket # C58000, but you...

  • Parts Needed To Install A 7-Way Blade Trailer Connector On a 2017 BMW X3

The Tekonsha Harness # 119250KIT uses sensors to detect when power is traveling through the wiring to the tail lights so that you do not have to splice the wiring on your X3.

  • Parts Needed for Brake Controller Installation on 2018 BMW X3
  • Since the # SH62VR comes with a 7-way the only thing you will need is the brake controller and the appropriate wiring harness. For the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR you were looking at you will need the # RED69FR. There are no custom fit wiring harnesses so you will have to splice it in for installation. I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness Kit and Related Towing Components for 2016 BMW X3
  • We can help you with a hitch, wiring and the related items needed to tow a rental trailer with your 2016 BMW X3. I recommend the higher-capacity hitch option which comes from Draw-Tite, their hitch # 76226, since it offers a 750-lb tongue weight (TW) rating as compared to 350-lbs for the Curt # C13316. TW is downward force on the hitch from the trailer's weight; you should be able to find out from the rental company what the specific trailer's empty TW is to confirm it will be compatible....
