Will Redarc Tow-Pro Link Work On 2026 BMW X5 X40i With Factory Tow Package

Question

Question:

Re: RED57AR Your description says for BMW X5 without factory towing. Any reason that it wont work with factory tow package? I tried to contact the Redarc rep for my region in the US but he just taked about the Elite and totally dismissed my question regarding the Link. Do you feel like the February date for shipping is realistic? I prefer to use Redarc vs Curt Echo inline but need something by early March at the latest. 2026 BMW X5 X40i with factory tow package Thank You

Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. The Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller # RED57AR will work great on your 2026 BMW X5 X40i with the factory tow package. We list it for vehicles without the tow package since it comes with a universal harness, and there are custom harness option for your vehicle. The # RED57AR can be installed on vehicles with or without tow packages.
