I installed the wireless Prodigy last week on my trailer. Paired it up per the instructions and went for a test drive. No issues, works great right out of the box and did not require a dealer visit. After doing so, I can say that to consider wiring a controller in when the wireless is available is simply not a viable option. The wireless unit also provides the ability to tow with another vehicle. A great product!

Update: BMW dealer figured out that the trailer wiring had a short in it (after the trailer dealer supposedly tested the wiring and went over it inch by inch) which was causing the errors. Works like a dream now :thumb up:

Pulled my RS to the track twice last weekend with no errors!

Kudos to BMW Des Moines for figuring it out :D

4MoJoe - any issues with your controller? Mine works great, but I get a light out error code (even when using the inline resistor that is supposed to fix the error) and the X5 keeps turning off power to the running lights on my trailer with LEDs. The dealer has had the car on 4, 5, or 6 different days (lost count) and cannot solve the issue. BMWNA claims to have never heard of the issue and has not been helpful at all.
Anyone have ideas?

Hey, holy thread revival! Any of you still around? I’m wondering if after the oem harness is all hooked up (without touching the extra brake controller wires) the rf prodigy is plug and play. I’m trying to figure out if I need to do any extra wiring from the normal hitch wiring from my original install.
