Trailer stability control is in the DSC, not the trailer package. I even have it on my E83, which is an E46 platform. It is activated by the factory wiring harness being connected, but it is already there, just dormant. Coding isn't required, as long as your vehicle software recognizes the towing harness.

You don't need a Cummins, that's an engine. You may need a 3/4 ton pickup.
