Question:

I need to use an LED adapter like Curt Adapter C57003 with my 2011 BMW X5. Where would that adapter need to go when using this wireless brake controller? Between the X5 and the control box, or between the control box and the trailers wiring connector or would either place work?

Expert Reply:

You would need to plug in 7-Way Trailer Adapter # C57003 directly into the 7-Way connector on your 2011 BMW X5. That way it will take care of any bulb out and brake controller pairing issues when using the Prodigy RF # TK94FR.
