Will I just use a second BMW OEM male pin to connect as with the hitch wiring box, or do I have to splice some wires there? This wansn't inherently obvious to me as I searched through the threads and links. Thanks-

If your connector has a open socket, you can use the male pin for a super clean installation.
If your connector doesn't have an open socket, or you don't want to bother ordering the BMW male pin, you can use a wire splice and it will work just fine!
BTW - Just did a 2000 mile round trip with a 5000 pound boat + gear to Lake Powell. The X5 continues to amaze me with it's towing capability! I averaged almost 15 mpg on the open stretches. (2004 4.4 & 6 sp tranny)
By comparison my brother has a Chevy Trailblazer with an inline six and he gets 10mpg on the highway pulling a boat of the same weight....
