On your 2013 VW Tiguan with raised side rails, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 is a confirmed fit. I've attached a couple of videos to help with the installation of this system for you.

The harness gets is switching information from these connections but draws its power for the trailer lights directly from the vehicle battery via the fused connection... view full answer...

The converter box itself taps into the vehicle's taillight wiring, and converts a 3 wire system (stop lamp, right turn and left turn signal) into a 2 wire system with stop and right turn combined onto one circuit and stop and left turn combined on another.
Older taillight converters also drew the power to run the trailer taillight circuits through each individual circuit itself, but as vehicle wiring systems got... view full answer...
