2006 X5 Trailer Brake Controller

Did tons of searching and this site was really helpful but there is still one thing I am not sure of.

I have all my wiring and hitch installed and everything works thanks to xoutpost.

One item remains and I am still not clear about it. I believe the issue is that all the other installs are for earlier model X5s. I am looking at my LCM where people here have recommended tapping into for the brake controller and I am looking at the top set of wires and I don't have a black/yellow wire in Pin 10 of connector X12, its a different color. On the set of wires on the white harnass there is a black and yellow wire but that one isn't the top black wire harnass. I was able to find a wire but it provides 6 volts when off, 12 volts when the brake is pressed. I am waiting to hear back from etrailer on whether having 6 volts always on affects the brake controller. If it doesn't than I am set.

Is there is any source when I can get 0 volts when the brakes aren't pressed and 12 volts when the brakes are pressed? Should I tap into the 3rd brake light at the back on the hatch?

Any help appreciated.

For a 2006 model, has anyone tapped a wire for the brake controller
