Will the Curt Hitch Work On a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG with Active Curve System

Question

Question:

I need a hitch receiver for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG Coupe with the Active Curve System. Curt item C13294 shows it is compatible with this vehicle WITHOUT Active Curve System. My installer recommended this part, and I just want to confirm that it will work with the listed vehicle WITH Active Curve System? Thank you in advance for your response.
