  • Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work with a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
  • Yes, the Prodigy RF Brake Controller, # TK94FR, can be used with your 2010 VW Touareg TDI.

  • Tire Cable Chain Fit for 2011 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The Pewag tire cable chains you referenced, part # PW2029C is indeed a fit for your 265/50-19 tires. Although the # PW99 adjusters you mentioned would work, I prefer the # TCMA2 adjusters, because they're more substantial and would last longer. The # PW2029C chains would be ideal for emergency use. However, before attempting to install the cable chains, check your owner's manual and be sure to abide by any recommendations or prohibitions VW offers regarding chain usage. When you receive...

  • Installation of Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller on a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
  • It sounds like you do not have the factory installed 7-way on your 2012 Volkwagen Touareg. To install a brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 you will need a 4-way wiring harness installed and then to gain the proper brake controller functions you will need to adapt the 4-way to a 7-way. The 4-way I recommend for your Touareg is # 118668. We do have an installation video of this being installed on your same vehicle. To adapt this to a 7-way, I recommend the # ETBC7, this kit...

  • Availability of Ball Mount for Factory Hitch on a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The best way to determine the correct ball mount for your vehicle and trailer combination is to measure from the ground to the top of the receiver tube on the vehicle, and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler, with the trailer level. If the hitch height is greater you will need a ball mount with a drop equal to the difference and if the trailer coupler height is greater you will need a ball mount with a rise equal to the difference.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2008 Volkswagen Touareg V6
  • If you install the # C59496, according to the installation instructions linked for reference, you should not have to worry about the trailer connection causing error codes. This wiring harness gets the power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery but the signals to tell the trailer light what to do still come from the vehicle tail light wiring, so the harness will need to completely installed to work.

  • Trailer Signal Lights Malfunctioning After Installing Optronics Tail Light
  • From what I can see in your question, it seems like the most likely cause for the signal lights on your trailer to be malfunctioning after installing the Optronics Sealed Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL78RB is the ground connection on your trailer. You mentioned grounding the white wire from the new light to the metal body of the door hinges. I strongly recommend finding a more suitable ground on the main trailer frame for this wire. A weak or bad ground can certainly lead to many different...

  • Towing Bike Rack for a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
  • This bike rack will work as long as your 2004 Volkswagen Touareg has at least a Class III trailer hitch and a drawbar that has at least 3" of space. The trailer hitch's tongue weight capacity is reduced by the weight of the bike rack and the bikes when towing. If your ball mount does not have the required clearance you could use ball mounts, # 2736 or # D-28. Extra-Long ball mounts with a Rise/Drop usually do not work because of the angled metal supporting the ball mount face.
