While we don't have any brake controller install harnesses that attach to factory wiring of your 2022 BMW X5 I do have a solution that wouldn't require any wiring or splicing with the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this would just plug into an active 7-way and once synced to our smart phone is ready to tow with. It's the easiest way to install and use a brake controller.
