The BMW X5 cockpit has very limited space for the addition of a trailer brake controller. The only suitable location I was able to identify, was to mount the unit on the left-most side of the driver’s knee bolster panel. This can be removed by sliding the blue plastic lock to the left side of the vehicle and the OBD II connector will unsnap from the bolster. Here, it was dressed along existing wiring to the rear panel where the BMW trailer connector wiring is attached. The red wire from the brake control harness is connected to one side of this switch, and a wire spliced into the black wire (+12V) is connected to the other side of the switch.
