I'm happy to say that BMW resolved the issues with the tow package.  I picked up my r-pod 180 on Saturday and was thrilled when the trailer lighting worked.  BMW installed a new module.  I have to use a lamp out by-pass off the seven pin which I expected.  The RF prodigy brake controller works very well.  The tow system seems very secure but I have only driven about 30-40 miles.  The trailer has been chihuahua approved.  It will be taken on its first outing this coming weekend.

Excellent! A lot of hassle, but it'll be worth the effort. Another happy camper.

Camp on.

I'm glad to hear you have the problem solved. I hope you have many happy trips now to make up for the initial disappointment.
