Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan
Question:
Hi, My 2016 Tiguan does not have a break controller yet. Will this one work along with a 4-pin to 7-pin adapter? Any other parts I need? Thanks,

To install a brake controller in your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan without trailer wiring does first require you to install a 4-way wiring harness like the # 118675 which was designed to fit your Tiguan.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
