Guys, please help.
I just had my dealer install a VW factory 7,700lb trailer hitch on my 2013 Touareg VR6 Exec model. He told me to take the car home and test with my trailer. I have a small LoadRite trailer to pull my Waverunner, which has LED tail lights. When I use my 7-round to 4-flat converter, I get running lights and turn signals but the brake lights will not work. I also get the yellow service lamp light on the dash. I do not get flashing on the trailer lights.
1. Do I need to take the Touareg back to the dealer for a re-program?
2. Do I simply need one of these $29.00 U-Haul or E-Trailer VW LED adapters to make the lights work properly?
I read a lot of posts and it seems on older Tregs you buy the adapter but it sounds like that on 2011 Touaregs and newer, VW allows for VAG COM reprograming to detect LED trailer lights.
What's the best thing to do?
Thanks.
