Question about the hitch harness
We just bought a 2006 X3 E83 1 1/2 weeks ago. It has 87k miles and is in great shape. It was from a dealer and it took two weeks to fix the rear wheel speed sensor and the rear axle shaft. It had to be replaced because it showed a few warning lights. We like the X3 because it is small enough to use it as a daily driver and it is big enough to tow a boat. Currently the car does not have a hitch, but I would like to install the following one: Part# ES#185398 at the ECS Tuning website. If I copy the link in here, it redirects it to some weird page, sorry about that! I believe that thread is the right one about installing it: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...h-2006-x3.html It comes with the wire harness, the round connector and the adapter for the 4pin connector. I was reading that you need to plug in the harness into the white box that comes with it and also into a connector in the back of the passenger side. So, now to my questions: - what is the white box for ? - what signals/information is send between the trailer and the car ? Is it just the lights and turn signals or does the car now that a trailer is attached and it changes the way it is adapting the xdrive and the braking ? - I tried to take a picture of the connector that I think is the right one. Could someone verify that it is the right connector? Thank you so much for your time and help! Pfalezer http://i63.tinypic.com/2jb8m7r.jpg Last edited by Der Pfaelzer; 09-25-2017 at 08:08 AM. |

Uh damn, sorry about that!
I don't know what's going on there. If I go to the ECS Tuning website and copy the URL into here, it redirects it to a weird website... Thanks for pointing that out! |
