Has anyone done this before? Where should I be looking for the connector?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Based on my research, the X1 does not have the connector and electrics to make this happen as it is not approved in US for a hitch.

probably can just hit the switch on the console to tunr off the PDC or at least disapble the sound via Idrive

Let us know what you find
