Expert Reply:

If you already have the factory tow package for your 2022 BMW X5 with a fully functional 7-way RV connector at the back of our vehicle, this means an active 12-v feed to the pin in the 1:00 position; I suggest you go with the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller, # C51180. The portable unit installs in seconds and allows you to make braking adjustments straight from your smartphone. Easily transfer the Echo between vehicles and store it when it's not in use. Just download the Echo Smart Control app on your Apple or Android smart device and follow the in-app instructions. The brake control unit plugs into the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and provides a port for plugging in your 7-way trailer connector. When all the connections are made, wirelessly pair the unit to your phone via Bluetooth. Once the unit is paired, configure your desired trailer brake settings in the user-friendly app.
