Troubleshooting 2014 Volkswagen Touareg Not Recognizing Trailer With LED Lights
Question:
I have a 2014 VW Touareg. Trying to tow a small NuCamp 400 BD with LED lights. The trailer is not recognized by my Touareg. Is it the LED lights? Would this adapter work in my case?

Expert Reply:
Based on what you are describing yes, the 7-Way to 5-Way/4-Way Trailer Adapter for Vehicles with Lamp-Out Sensors Towing Trailers with LEDs # C35FR.
The problem is likely that the LED signals from your trailer are not being read by your vehicle's computer. Adapters like this one use built-in resistors to solve that problem. If you need a 7-way the Curt 7-Way Trailer Adapter for Towing Trailers with LED Lights # C57003 is also available.
