Installation of Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller on 2013 BMW X3 with Aftermarket 7-Way

Question

Question:

This looks like a great controller. Is there installation instructions for how to put it in place on a BMW X3? I already have a seven pin installed, the aftermarket variety. Currently using it with a different brake controller that the Tekonsha Prodigy RF, which isnt really an install it just sits on the trailer itself. Any info would be appreciated!

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR is a great option. You will simply need the Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controllers # RED69FR and the # 5506 for your wiring connections to make it compatible with your 7-way.
