Hi. a couple of times now my soft top won't go up when I press the button and so I have had to raise it manually. The display gives no reason or fault as to why it hasn't raised. (If the boot is open or the storage shelf is not in position, the display pings and tells you why the roof isn't operating). The roof then operates normally for a time but then fails to raise. Any ideas why it's happening or how I can sort it. It just makes me a little nervous about putting the roof down anticipating it wont go up again electrically. Thanks.

      2024 X5 with Towing package using weight distribution hitch

      Just realized that I made a mistake. The last sentence should have been: " You would plug the trailer’s 7-pin into it, then the 7-pin coming out of the controller to X5."

      Besides, I could never understand why someone would sell you something but not set it up for you to use. BMW USA is not the most logical company to talk to, just like they would advise against using WDH but could not produce documentation to support it. Fortunately my dealer was helpful when I tried to figure out the break controller wiring. They even ordered a set of plugs for me although I eventually went with the Etrailer harness.

      This vehicle comes with a plug under the dash for break controller. I’ve attached a couple pictures my dealer sent me. All you need to do is to pop the panel under the dash open to see it. You don’t need any work in the back of the vehicle. The sway controller has a receptacle for a 7-pin. You would plug the trailer’s 7-pin into it, then the 7-pin coming out of the controller to the trailer.

      Thanks for your reply. BMW dealer has installed the own hitch on the vehicle, however, they would not wire it because of the missing code in the software. I am having another company wire it up. How did you connect both the brake controller and the electronic sway controller to the 7 pin plug?

      Hi Jeff, My hitch was factory installed. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge about aftermarket hitches. Do you see a trailer option in the vehicle menu though? You should see it if it's there even when no trailer is connected. I would guess that the airbag would work if trailer mode is there. The 9.5 inch rise hitch does not block the top part of the rear gate but don't try to open to bottom part. I made a mistake trying and now have chipped paint on the top edge of it. The X5 tows this trailer beautifully, even without a WDH which ALMOST EVERYBODY said is required. There are couple dealers refusing to sell 2326RK to me, one for not wanting a WDH, one for "your vehicle is not rated to tow it." Seems most Americans need to have V8 even for going grocery shopping 🙂. Let me know should there be any other questions. It's a beautiful trailer. Enjoy it!
