Parts Needed to Add 5-Way to 2019 BMW X5

Question:

2019 BMW X5. Need a 5 pin wire harness. My vehicle can with tow package/hitch and no wiring. Do you have a plug and play wiring harness to fit my vehicle? Thank you.

So while you can add a 5-way to your 2019 BMW X5, there isn't a plug-and-play option, and it will take a couple different parts. Both are going to be hardwired, as you'll first add a 4-way and then the 5-way, which is technically an adapter. So here is exactly what you'll need:

- Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT

- Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036

I have added a link below to an install video of the 4-way on a 2018 X5 (the install will be exactly the same on your 2019). Then for the 5-way adapter you will simply need to splice its blue wire into the reverse light wire of your X5. For this you'll need a circuit tester, and if you don't have one a super simple one to use is the Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979.
