Question:
I see the Stealth Hitch for the BMW X3 Item # SH62VR has the wires for a trailer brake controller and after installation there would be a 7 pole plug. What would I need to buy to install a trailer brake controller that would tie in with that 7 pole plug?

Expert Reply:
Since the # SH62VR comes with a 7-way the only thing you will need is the brake controller and the appropriate wiring harness. For the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR you were looking at you will need the # RED69FR. There are no custom fit wiring harnesses so you will have to splice it in for installation.
I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
