Electrics should work ok without enabling with either a Faultmate or at the dealers. If not enabled then it will not turn your parking sensors off or disable automatic raising of vehicle in terrain response modes. Also on D4 it enables tow assist if fitted with surround cameras. ( not to be confused with trailer stability assist which is standard on all D4 models and doesn't require enablement).

Wiggs or Pete(BellAutos) should be able to enable it for you at less than stealer rates Thumbs Up

7 or 13 pin depends on what intend to tow, most modern trailers, tintents use the 13 pin system. Converters are available to convert one to the other but the 13 pin to 7 pin is more compact. I run a 13 pin connector on the car and convert to 7 pin using an adaptor when required Thumbs Up Club Forum Criminal !!!
