Question:
Good afternoon, I am debating on doing the installation myself or using a certified installer for Stealth Hitch SH22MR on my 2025 X5 MSport. I am being advised that there is no code reprogramming required, but the wiring needs to be run to the front of the vehicle, rather than the control module at the passenger rear per instructions. Can you confirm this is accurate? I appreciate your consideration,

Hello Douglas, thanks for reaching out. The correct Stealth Hitch for the 2025 BMW X5 with the M Sport package is part # SH89VR. They for trailer towing you will also need the # SH52TR towing kit.
The wiring kit for the 2025 model should be a passive harness meaning no programing is needed, but you do have to run a wire to the vehicle battery to power the module. You do need to wire directly to the battery. Using an alternative power source is not recommended.
What kind of trailer are you planning on towing? Please let me know if you have any other questions.
