I think I'm all ready to set up my 2012 VR6 for towing.
I have a VW 7P0803881 hitch. There are many YouTube videos that show how to install it. I'm not concerned.
I have the VW 7P1055203 trailer wiring package with 7-pin connector. The package wants me to apply a sticker that reads "no brake controller". Is this package compatible with a brake controller?
The instructions that came with the wiring package indicate that the dealer needs to make computer adjustments so that the car recognizes the electronics. I've not seen anyone here mention that...
I understand that I'll have to search for the brake controller connector under the dash, and that I'll have to build a little harness from the VW connector to the Tekonsha P3 connector. No problem, I will have the mate to the VW connector on Monday.
Finally, I've seen multiple posts that I may need to do some custom wiring from the brake light switch through a relay to the Teknosha P3 connector. But not all installations of a Tekonsha P3 on a Touareg say so. Advice please?
