Default Adding Towing Assist?

Just bought a 2013 LR4 HSE LUX which has everything except the towing equipment.
2 questions:
- Recommendations on best class 3 receiver to get
and
- Can the optional tow hitch assist video be enabled via software (see red below) ?

Trailer stability Assist** (TsA), standard on all Land Rover LR4 models, is designed to detect potentially
dangerous trailer oscillations by monitoring vehicle behavior such as slight swings in response to trailer
movements. It can initiate engine torque reduction and intervenes using the brakes to bring vehicle and
trailer back under control. Optional Tow Hitch Assist helps hitching a trailer to the tow bar, by using on screen representation of views from the rear view camera, to show the driver the positions of the tow bar and trailer

Thanks!

- Bill

I like the factory quick connect receiver, but I know others have gone the aftermarket route.

Whatever you do the cheap ebay bolt on that go into the quick mount on the bumper are a no go for heavy loads.

I would think that would be a software update if you have the other required hard systems like sensors and cam

It's a LUX so it has reverse park assist, rear cameras etc. Looks like the IIDTool has some trailer option configs in its feature set.
