Great news, I can help you figure out what you will need for your LED trailer lights to work in combination with your 2011 BMW X5 LED lights.
If you have a factory 7-way installed on your vehicle from the manufacturer, then you may need one of the two adapters # C57003 or # 20142 you referenced. Both would work and complete the same function, the Tow Ready # 20142 is a popular option among our customers.
If you happen to have an aftermarket one like our # 119250KIT that has a power wire... view full answer...
For the 2010 Lexus RX 450h we have the Draw-Tite # 75676 and then for the 2016 BMW X5 we have the Draw-Tite # 75600 (excluding the M Performance model) that you were looking at, both of which are in stock.
If you have something different let me know and I'd be more than happy to look into it for you.
Since it sounds like you plan on towing you'll also need wiring harnesses. For the Lexus use the T-One # 118252 if you have the factory tow package or the T-One # 118255 if you don't have... view full answer...
I would be happy to help you set up your 2015 BMW X5 for towing. You're going to need a hitch, a couple wiring harnesses, brake controller, and a ball mount with a ball.
For your hitch I recommend the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver item # EH44FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your BMW with included hardware. The best feature about this hitch is that the receiver portion is completely removable. When you're not towing your trailer you can unbolt the receiver and... view full answer...
The 2012 BMW X5 has a rated towing capacity of 6000-lbs according to my research and for this vehicle we offer several Class III hitches (viewable on the link provided) that share this same maximum towing capacity, along with a tongue weight limit of 600-lbs. Note that these hitches do not fit the M model. You'll want to be sure that your fully-loaded boat/trailer does not exceed the towing or tongue weight capacities of either the vehicle or the hitch (your hitch should have a sticker... view full answer...
To start, if you don't already have a 4 way wiring harness on your X5 you'll need that first, I recommend using the Curt # C56190KIT since it's a plug and play solution, and Curt wiring is one of the most reliable solutions.
Then, I recommend using the # ETBC7L to install a 7 way connector on your 2017 BMW X5, which will give you a 7 way connector that can be used with wireless brake controllers. I recommend using this instead of the # ETBC7 because your 2017 BMW X5 isn't going to have... view full answer...
The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # TK29FR is what you'd use if your 2017 BMW X5 has the factory 7-Way connector at the back. Since you're using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK47FR that tees in behind the tail lights on your vehicle you need to use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 instead. This kit comes with all of the wiring and connections you need for a fully-functioning 7-way as well as what you need to get a brake controller up and running.
Please note that it might be difficult... view full answer...
Since the 2017 and 2019 BMW X5 are from 2 different generations, unfortunately there are enough differences between the 2017 and 2019 model years that a hitch from the 2017 model year wouldn't fit on a 2019.
The Curt # 13077 is indeed a fit for the 2017 model, but they don't offer one for the 2019. For the 2019, you'd use the Draw-Tite # 76288.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and a trailer ball. For wiring, I'd recommend the # 119250KIT.... view full answer...
If you are interested in the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT you will also need the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185. You will need to wire the 12 volt power pin, but you can leave the remaining functions disconnected. These products will work with the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR.

Firstly congratulations on the purchase of your new 2023 BMW X5 with M Sport Package. When it comes to installing a hidden trailer hitch onto your vehicle I would recommend The Stealth Hitch # SH25VR. After installation this trailer hitch has a completely hidden design, that will give it a clean, from-the-factory look and it will not affect the ground clearance or block your trunk's foot-access sensor.
The Stealth hitch requires no drilling for installation, but it does require temporary... view full answer...
You are most of the way there!
The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 that you purchased for your 2006 BMW X5 just needs the basic trailer lighting functions and 12V power to be fully operational.
A 4-Way Flat connector like the popular Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT provides the basic trailer lighting functions so once that is installed you simply need to install the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L. This includes the 4-Way to 4-Way/7-Way adapter as well as wiring for you to... view full answer...
In order to install a brake controller on your BMW X5, you really just need the brake controller, since you've already got a factory 7 way plug. The caveat here is that your BMW does not have a plug in adapter available to install a brake controller, so installation of a brake controller would require hardwiring into the vehicle's wiring.
If you've already got a brake controller, you will need to look under the dash to find the 12v power from the battery, the brake control wire from the... view full answer...

I can help you find what you need to get it installed but there isn't a direct plug-in wiring adapter for the Prodigy P2 # 90885 that's confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW X5.
You can install a 4-way trailer connector on the back of your X5. Use # 119250KIT for this. It needs to be hardwired into the BMW's wiring. Then use our # ETBC7 kit to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. This kit also includes everything you need to install the P2.
However, finding the wiring under the dash for the P2... view full answer...

This hitch will mount behind your bumper so that only the receiver is visible and provides you with a 2" receiver that is perfect for towing or carrying hitch mounted accessories. This hitch will not interfere with the backup sensors on your bumper, but you will likely need to disconnect them during installation... view full answer...
Congrats on your recent purchase of the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 and the Light Kit # 98174LED! The correct brackets you need to install that light kit on your cargo carrier come in the kit # e98943-44.

Yes. The Inno Roof Rack System that uses parts # INXB138-2, # INTR140 and # INXS450 is the correct fit for your 2017 BMW X5 and has been confirmed. I've linked a photo of the way these attach to the rails and you can see the clamp that will attach to the outside of the flush mounted rails on your X5, and provide a secure fit. view full answer...
We've got just what you're looking for; I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Blade # HM47200, which will allow you to plug your existing 4 way in and give you a 7 way plug to use with your trailer. You will need to make the ground connection on the new trailer wiring harness, but the other wires can be taped up and left to the side. In order to mount this harness I recommend using the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138.

The easiest way to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2013 BMW X5 is to start with a 4-way and then convert it to a 7-way.
For wiring, use the ZCI kit, part # 119250KIT, instead. The ZCI sensors that clamp to your X5's wiring to detect the current flowing through the wires instead of being spliced in. This way you don't have to cut into the BMW's wiring. I've linked a video of this harness being installed on an X5 similar to yours.
Then once you have the 4-way installed use our... view full answer...
Since your 2012 BMW X5 currently has nothing, it sounds like you do not have a tow package. Given the lack of tow package and the year/make/model of your vehicle, there are not going to be any plug-n-play options available. I will list out the parts needed below, but if you are hesitant about the installation process, I highly recommend having the installation done by a certified technician.

The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH22MR is rated for towing up to 6,000lbs with 600lbs of tongue weight. You will need to confirm the towing capacity of your 2020 BMW X5 M Competition with your BMW dealer to determine the vehicles towing capacity and if it is enough for your specific car and trailer.
For a brake controller I recommend Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR. This has a small dash mounted control knob which provides a clean appearance.... view full answer...
