I see that now and that's dumb that they don't have the correct picture if this is the case. How hard would it be to have the diagram correctly match the part? Sheesh.

Also, do you know why that RealOem parts only show parts for production dates of 3/2019 as the latest month? It may not be relevant to later produced models. Maybe 4/2019 is when the 'hitch prewiring' started on X7's that didn't come from the factory with the hitch?
The RealOEM catalog gets updated on an irregular basis so I couldn't tell you when it will get updated again. However, in most cases, the part numbers will still be relevant to cars with newer build dates.
