Hi Guys, I have read a few posts about towbar/trailer control modules and I just wanted to clarify: does the Hayman Reese towbar module actually do anything apart from provide wiring for the trailer plug? I have fitted a brand new Hayman Reese towbar with 7 pin plug and Redarc Trailer brake...

I've been shopping exclusively for 2016-17 Touaregs (USA), and I'm having trouble with all the 'tow module' info floating around. I've looked at one vehicle that had the "tow hitch / ball mount / 7-pin connector" on the Monroney sticker, but did NOT have any tow-related codes on the build sheet...

I'm planning on towing a 5x8' uhaul trailer next week. In prep I decided to test my factory (or at least I think) installed harness. My TDI came with the tow package. I bought one of those little light testers that plugs into the flat 4 pin connector. My issue is that it's only showing my...

Thinking that maybe a VCDS scan would tell me if I have the required components to install the electric bits to get the trailer lights connected and trailer braking (I have a module from junkyard). I can certainly post a VCDS scan here, but thought I'd ask now. Would a scan help tell me what...

A summary of what you should expect from your Touareg when the correct towing module is installed. Happy to append to this if I have missed something! The genuine VW tow modules does the following: Disables side assist (blind spot warning - this uses part of the rear sensors) This function...

I recently bought a used 2016 Touareg and I love it. I need to pull a small cargo trailer about a total of 2900lbs loaded. The hitch ball set up that the factory calls for is 4 1/2” to low to level my trailer. I don’t want to hurt my suspension. Is it ok to use a different configuration- a 2”...

Looking to purchase an OEM trailer hitch for a 2010 Touareg. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/touareg-trailer-hitch-kit/7l0092105ua/

I bought the kit from the dealer for my 2011, but sold the vehicle before installing it. Paid $398, Asking $300 OBO. Brand new. Has only been taken out of the box for pictures. Thanks for looking.

Hey gang! We're brand new here. And, of course, have more than a few questions. We bought our '16 Touareg, V6 Exec, with the main purpose of pulling a travel trailer, given its large 7,716 lbs. of towing capability! We've just purchased a TT that is under the Touareg's max tow limit, but, is...

I ended up getting the Freedom Express 282BHDS, which has a GVWR of 7700lbs, and dry weight of 5800lbs. The tongue weight is roughly 730lbs, but I have a weight distribution/balancing system on the hitch, which seems to help a lot. This trailer is 28 feet long (the actual trailer), and 3 feet...

I hooked up my little utility trailer today for the first time in a while, and no lights were working (not a one, no brakes, tail or markers). What is unusual is I am getting dashboard warnings that there are a few trailer light failures (but not for "all" the trailer lights). In addition...

Glad to be a part of the Forum after snooping around for a couple months. Great articles, threads and contributions on here. Please don't kick me off for the following honest introductory comments. I purchased a 2010 Treg TDI from Carmax (used car franchise) in August. Ownership has been...

Hi guys - I've got a 2008 V6 and found my inline 4 pin connector in the rear passenger side compartment where my 6 disc CD changer is. Every other tow vehicle I've owned already has the connector under the bumper already. I'm trying to find out how to route my 4 pin connector from the inside...
