Brake Controller
Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean by pin outs but the connection for the brake controller is in the back right cargo area. It's way at the bottom, and not that easy to find. Pull the cover off and...

Placement
Great instructions, thanks.
I wish the dealer had them when I had mine installed, they did a good job but I had to explain it all to them.

MPG
I regularly drive upstate on the weekends from NY (2008 3.0) and almost always average between 24 and 27 mpg. I think that's pretty great considering I'm coming from a Honda Ridgeline where I was...

Huh
Funny as-in Manhattan or rear-ended, or maybe the combination of both?
I live in Manhattan, and I'm Gay and I'm just sad that his fantastic x5 was damaged by a careless driver.
