  • How to Install Curt Adapter for 7-Way on 2011 Volkswagen Touareg to 4-Way Flat on Trailer
  • If your 2011 Volkswagen Touareg has a 7-Way connector then the Curt Adapter # C35FR is what you are loking for. According to the picture you sent in your trailer has a 4-Way flat connector. The adapter has 1 male pin and 4 female pins for the trailer connector which makes it compatible with both 4-Way flat and 5-Way flat trailer connectors. Since you have a 4-Way flat you will simply ignore that last female pin. If your Touareg doesn't have a 7-Way connector like you see on the pickup...

  • Trailer Wiring Kits for 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
  • The Curt 7-Way Wiring Adapter # C57003 is a special type of adapter that is used when certain import vehicles like VWs tow a trailer that has LED type lighting. LED lights use very little power so they can sometimes have compatibility issue with vehicle wiring that is expecting to see the much higher power draw from standard incandescent-type bulbs. This adapter does plug into a 7-way and in turn provides a new 7-way socket for a trailer's plug. This connector format carries lighting, trailer...

  • Can TireMinder TPMS for Dual Axle Trailers be Used on a Boat Trailer
  • We have reached out to TireMinder in the past about their sensors, like what is included with the kit # TPMS-TRAILER you referenced, being used for boat trailer applications. While they did say that the sensors can be submerged, they did recommend not leaving the sensors submerged more than 30 minutes so as long as you are mindful of this and avoid doing so you can definitely use this kit on your boat trailer!

  • Will a P3 Brake Controller Use Same Wiring as Dexter Predator DX2 on a 2011 VW Touareg
  • The wire functions are going to be the same between the Dexter Predator, # 58-8, and the P3, # 90195. The white wire is ground, black is 12 volt power, red is input from stop light circuit, and blue is output to the trailer brakes. If you already have wiring connected to your 2011 VW Touareg for the Predator brake controller then you could just cut off the wires and splice them to the matching wires on the P3. If you do not have a controller installed on the vehicle then there are some...

  • Will the Curt 7-Way to 5-Way and 4-Way Trailer Adapter Work with a 2006 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The 7-way to 5-way and 4-way trailer adapter # C35FR you referenced isn't recommended for the 2006 VW Touareg because it's the first generation, but I do have another option for you. Volkswagen made changes to the tow package starting in 2007 that requires specialized adapters. A comparable adapter would be the Optronics 7-pole to 5-pole flat # A75TB that would work for you. Another adapter that I recommend is the Hopkins multi-tow trailer connector adapter 7-way to 6-way, 5-way or 4-way...

  • Wheel Compatibility with EJ-3520-BBX Electric Trailer Jack
  • The Electric Jack w/ Footplate - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3.5K - Black # EJ-3520-BBX has a 2 inch outer diameter lower tube so you can use the Ram Removable, 6" Poly Caster Assembly for 2" Jack Tube - 1,200 lbs # JC-101 but the wheel will reduce the capacity to 1,200 lbs. The wheel will always be the limiting capacity on a jack like this.

  • Yakima Roof Rack for 2014 Volkswagen Touareg with Factory Side Rails and Sunroof
  • Yakima roof rack system, FlushBars # Y00456-0457 and Fit Kit # Y00158 that you have referenced, is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Touareg with factory siderails. As for the sunroof, if your Volkswagen Touareg has the kind of sunroof that goes into a cavity inside the roof and no part of it sticks up, then it will not interfere with a roof rack. If it slides up and back it is more likely to interfere with the sunroof. I don't recommend opening the sunroof with a roof rack installed...

  • Will 7-Way Adapter C35FR Allow Electric Reverse Lockout to Work When Connected to 2010 VW Touareg
  • The 7-Way to 5- and 4-Way adapter # C35FR contains load resistors that provide more draw on the system so that the vehicle, in this case a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg, will not give that bulb out alert and the lights will work properly on the trailer. This should also include the reverse electric lockout solenoid on the actuator. In some cases you will need additional load resistors, # DI34ZR, to get everything working properly. Make sure that the reverse light function on the 7-Way connector...

  • Will the Prodigy RF Trailer Brake Controller Work with a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The Prodigy RF, # TK94FR, can be used with any vehicle but there have been some pairing issues with it and German manufactured vehicles like the 2004 Volkswagen Touareg. Customers have found that the RF unit has trouble pairing with its handheld unit on these vehicles but the reason why is sort of a mystery. One way that people are able to get it to work is to park a different vehicle right next to the Touareg and connect the trailer and RF to it. Then they pair the handheld unit and then...

  • Tire Chains for a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg with 275/45-19 Tires
  • Before you choose a set of tire chains for the 275/45-19 tires on your 2010 Volkswagen Touareg you will need to review the tire chain section of your owner's manual. The owner's manual will usually tell you if tire chains are allowed or not in addition to recommended placement and approved chain type. The Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # TH02230K66 will fit your 275/45-19 tires and are an excellent option for you. The diamond pattern chains offer exceptional tire coverage...

  • Can I Use the Red Arc Tow Pro Elite in a 2015 Volkswagen Touareg
  • Typically, only trucks come with factory integrated trailer brake controllers; your 2015 VW Toureg does not come with a factory brake controller. With that said, the Red Arc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR will work on your Toureg and is a fantastic option that provides very responsive proportional braking for your trailer and installs out of the way, so it's not going to be like the traditional "knee knocker" style controllers. There is a tech bulletin that I've linked to this answer and you...

  • Will The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, Fit A 2004 VW Touareg With Factory Crossbars
  • The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, will mount to crossbars that have a spread of 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8". It uses 4 inch wide U-bolts to attach to your crossbars, so it will fit crossbars up to 4 inches in diameter. I talked to SportRack and they said the thickness of the crossbar will not be a problem because the mounting hardware that is used will allow enough range to fit even the thickest of factory crossbars.

  • Brake Controller Adapter For A 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
  • I have an option for you to connect a Draw-Tite brake controller to your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg however, none of which include a direct plug-and-play connection. we are currently not aware of an option to plug an adapter into the existing wiring harness without the process of hardwiring. In order to connect the Draw-Tite brake controller to your vehicle you will want the Replacement Brake Controller Harness part # 7894. This is a direct fit for all Draw-Tite brake controllers and only...

  • How to Change 4-Flat to 5-Flat on 2011 VW Touareg for Boat Trailer
  • I am not sure if you have the 4-flat on your 2011 VW Touareg or not already, but if not you simply need to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118668. You will then be able to connect it to a trailer 5-way such as # HM47910 by using the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036. All you need to do to install this adapter is plug one end into the 4-way on your VW and splice the blue wire to your Touareg's reverse light wire and you'll...

  • Will Swagman E-Spec Work With Bike That Has Step-Through Frame
  • There should be no issue using the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR with your Electra Townie that has a step-through frame. We haven't tested this specifically so I can't give you a guarantee but the frame of your Townie is not an exaggerated step-through so I don't foresee an issue. There is also the option of using the Bike Adapter Bar # 64005 to give the frame hook a horizontal mounting point. The adapter will work so long as the distance between the seat post and handlebar...

  • Replacement Pin To Hold Gate Of Utility Trailer
  • I recommend to use Bolt-On Stainless Steel Spring Latch pins part # SL716SS that can be bolted to the utility trailer to keep the gate closed. At this time we do not carry the clip/pin with chain for the gates on your Snowbear utility trailer. I have attached a photo of an example.
