Well the hitch is on and I hooked up my trailer to test it out. Bad news. The brake lights do not work. I tried on multiple trailers too. The check control says check trailer brakes, so the car knows they arent working. My dealer thinks its a coding issue. I am not sure if this is the same coding issue the 2011's have.


I will be towing a jet ski and a 17' boston whaler. I paid $825 installed.

I'm guessing your sticking with stock BMW parts for warranty reasons, but I used a Module Master on my X5 and it works perfectly fine. I didn't need any of the additional wiring stuff they "recommended" as all the wire lengths were long enough. Just throwing it out there if they can't figure it out for you.
