Check out my thread on the Tekonsha RF controller and trailer light bypass module. I had a trailer with regular and LED lights and it worked perfect. It stopped the rapid blinking.

Looks like a great module at a good price. Only problem is that we don't have plug/socket anything like that in Australia. My trailer and the X5 have a 7 pin flat inline plug/socket with round pins.

I'll do some searching around as there would have to be an Australian equivalent.

Any Aussies looking at this thread that have found something????

LVP, how did you manage to plug the etrailer.com bypass module into your x5's harness receiver? the bulbous part on botton of that bypass is too big and strikes the metal trailer hitch receiver. SO I had to make an extension cord to use that bypass. I thought about cutting up the bulbous part on bottom of the bypass module to see if I could get rid of it but I figured it is there for a reason.
here is my harness I made from etrailer.com ordered parts.

OR now from e-trailer they made it super simple. Part C57003 is both an LED cancellor device AND extension cable. so it looks exactly like the part I made but with resistors built in so you dont have to buy the other part 20142 Like I did at the time. D'oh.
