Thanks! Yes, tow package is no-brainer for $550. At the same time, I understand the only difference with a tow package (apart from the hitch) are M-sport brakes in the back. Therefore, if you have M-sport brakes and add hitch, I do not expect any major issues. I expect simple coding plus OEM harness will enable all towing features.
