We don't carry a connector, but you can get the parts needed to easily build one from your local VW dealer.
You'll need one of VW part number # 1J0-972-782 which is the connector housing and 2 of part # 000-979-228 which are wire/terminal assemblies. The slots on the housing are numbered 1-4, and once the connector is assembled, it would connect to the pigtail included with your Redarc # RED44FR Tow Pro Elite as follows:
• White Pigtail wire connects to wire in slot 1
• Black Pigtail wire connects to wire in slot 2
• Red Pigtail wire connects to wire in slot 3
• Blue Pigtail wire connects to wire in slot 4
I've linked to an install video showing a different controller being installed on a Touareg, the wiring connections would be make the same way on your vehicle. The video shows exactly how to assemble the connector from the parts sourced from the VW dealer. I'll also link to a help article that outlines the process.
