BMW X5 and X6 Forum (F15/F16) > BMW X5 (F15) and BMW X6 (F16) Forum > BMW X5 and X6 (F15/F16) Forum X5 Trailer Hitch module coding success. Just wanted to just give a quick update on how my aftermarket hitch coding went on my 14' X5. My setup was a Curt Class III hitch along with BMW 82712349500 wiring harness with 4 & 7 pin trailer connectors both I got off ECS Tuning.

Installed the factory trailer hitch and wiring harness, and now on to coding. I found several threads and comments throughout the internet, but none really summarized everything neatly into a "this is everything you need to do to code for trailer hitch installation." The closest was probably THIS thread, starting on Post #55. To retro fit a tow hitch to an F15, requires the installation of a bmw control module and wiring harness to your x5's fuse and electrical control panel.

Hey man I towed with my f15 and it was totally fine, I had a Draw-Tite hitch installed, had the trailer/towing coded and added the towing module in the back if you have the trailer hitch from the factory you should be set, but it might be a weird European style in that case just get a new hitch and have it installed. 2019+ BMW X5 (G05) and X6 (G06) Forum iDrive, Audio, Phone, Electronics, Software, Coding Coding "Trailer Mode" Thread Tools.

Make sure you are road legal with this trailer light plug harness. Provides two plugs that connect the trailer lights to your vehicle so that brake lights, tail lights, and turn signals all function properly. Dealer coding is recommended after installation to remove dashboard lights after the car detects the harness.
