X5 Trailer Hitch Help

Hey Guys,

I'm new here and this would be my first post. I've been a regular on a few other forums (E46fanatics, Bimmerfest, M3forum, etc.).

I bought the OEM BMW Trailer Hitch Kit yesterday and will be installing it tomorrow. Just bought a boat and need to tow that sucker home. I was going over the instructions that were provided (and the ones posted on this site) and had a few questions. I'm not very familiar with the whole "towing" thing since i've NEVER towed anything in my life. So please, excuse my ignorance on the topic.

Electric Brake Control - I'm towing a 3800lb boat, I was told I'll be needing one of these. The wiring harness provided by the BMW kit, does it allow for some sort of plug-n-play with my trailer? I see a 7 PIN plug that allows for a bunch of things...but am quite confused.

There is a notation in the instructions that says I can "retrofit" a electric brake control system. What does that mean?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
