Page 16 of ordering guide reads "Pre-wired for trailer hitch and satelite radio" as standard option.
I don't think disc-changer is in glove box. Don't know where that comes from. My guess is the MP3 capable 6-disc changer is probably below the rear LCD screen(see pic below) You can use the same disc changer for video or audio.

We have already discussed why there is no ride-height adjustment(see scott's post)

re: 1) Trailer Hitch: Good find LemansX5 ... Unfortunately there is no mention in our Canadian Brochure re: "Pre-wired for trailer hitch and satelite radio" as a standard option.

I just wanted to make a note that installing a trailer hitch on the new E70 X5 will be as painful as the X3's ... No punch out in the Rear bumper fascia for a trailer hitch installation >>> Cutouts are labour intensive and finding a matching trim is just another chore.

It's suppose to be a Sports "Activity" Vehicle and not an F1 Sauber stealth. Sometimes you have to attach or tow = Bike racks .. Boats .. ATVs ... Snowmobiles ... Motorbikes ....Mother-in-Laws ....

What was the name of his dog? It's driving me crazy!

Don Cherry's nickname is "Grapes" not Gripes and dogs name is Blue

That sucks that it has no cut out for a hitch.

I think Don Cherry is a little too opinionated sometimes, and maybe too colorful in the clothing department.

I think the OEM fitment is of the swan-neck type which juts out from below the bumper and is removeable.
