Angry X3 And Trailer Hitch Electric Brakes Wiring

I haven't seen this one anywhere on the site. Let's see if you guys can do what the dealer says they can't find

I'm installing the hitch this weekend. Have the hitch, Diffuser, impact absorber, wire harness, and module. I have a Prodigy brake controller to use. Problem is, after I finish all the install of gear, I don't see a "blue" wire on the harness, and have not torn into the driver kick panel yet to see if it is in there. I know how to do everything else, just can't figure what wire to use on for the E-brakes on the trailer. (the controller is coming out of the jeep I'm getting rid of.)

So guys, I did call the dealer and BMW USA, both were no help. I"m really don't want to run that wire from the back to the front, so I'm hoping BMW ran the wire knowing that in CA. you have a 1500 lb limit that you must have E-Brakes.

By the way, that photo DIY hitch manual that everyone links to, is pretty nice, just no info on E-Brakes after you hook up the module.

Hope someone has experience with this??

***Update***

It all fits, now I just have to figure out where the 12 volt output is under the dash that controls the E-Brake Controller, then wallah!
