Is There A Shorter Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness For A 2024 BMW X5

Question:

Looking for a Tekonsha brake controller harness for 2024 BMW X5. I only see a very long harness, but the brake controller connector is under the dash, so I need a shorter harness.

Hey Michael thanks for your question. I am afraid that right now (March 2024) Tekonsha only makes one plug-and-play brake controller harness for the 2024 BMW X5, and that is the # TK29FR which is 19-1/2' long. In previous model years, the port was located in the rear cargo area. I believe starting with some 2024 models the port is now under the dash, so this is a pretty recent change. We are hoping for a new shorter plug-and-play adapter to be available in the coming months, but right now the only option would be to use the # TK29FR and either cut it down to size or find a way to shove all of that extra wire up out of sight under the dash.
