You're referring to the wiring harness from the back of the tow hitch? Since BMW stopped making the X7 "pre-wired for brake controllers" starting in MY2021, I have no idea what wiring's in there anymore. That's why I went with the Curt wireless controller, just to make it easy.

If you're referring to the actual trailer plug into the tow hitch, it has both the standard 4-pin and standard round 8-pin plugs, both of which are universal. Pics from my road trip thread.








How is your experience so far with Curt Wireless brake controller? I just picked one up and tried it on my current vehicle (Acura MDX), and it felt a bit flimsy, the one I got doesn't have the rubber belt, wondering how much does it help. I worry it fall down or get disconnected on the road due to all the vibration.
