  • 4 Flat
  • Powered Converter
  • Tekonsha

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily
    • Locate connection points in rear cargo area
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes ModuLite to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
    • Powered module connects directly to battery to avoid overloading vehicle's electrical system
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 5 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in the rear cargo area. You will have to remove the plastic threshold cover, side panels, and cargo trays to access this harness.


Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed in your rear cargo area.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.


ModuLite Power Module

A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. With a ModuLite, your trailer's lights will be powered without overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Because the module draws power directly from your car's battery and bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.

The hitch is great, the wiring is the issue. The fuse blows every trip so I’ve gone through over 15 fuses. Hitch was easy to install but it does scrape when going up even the smallest of inclines.

That is not good to hear. So, typically when a fuse keeps blowing that means there is a short somewhere on your wiring circuits. Or it could be that there is an overload or there is another fault of some kind, either in something on the vehicle or the harness. This is something that can be fairly easy to find. Start with unplugging everything from the circuit. If the fuse still blows, then let me know and we will do some further troubleshooting from there.

Great product and worked perfectly. Installation on my vehicle was a little different but I was able to make it work.

Volkswagen Tiguan

Great kit! Worked perfectly on my 2022 Tiguan. The installation video was excellent, very helpful.



by:

New cars are hard to install upgrades. This kit made it easy.



by:
2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

Not only was it perfect fit, the step by step wiring instructions made the job much, much easier. Thanks!



by:

If you do not have 60% knowledge in mechanics, please see a dealer. For me, it only only took me 2 hours to install the harness. Just follow the instructions.



by:

It was very easy to install and the support when I had an issue was exceptional.

Looks great! Can't wait to install it!

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan

Great products! Ordered the Curt trailer hitch receiver, T-One Wiring Harness, and accessores on Wednesday; they arrved Friday, and I installed them on Saturday. Everything fit perfectly. I plan to use the hitch mostly for bikes, but decided to add the wirng harness just incase I need to pull a small trailer.



by:
2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

This harness was a great purchase. Install was straight forward. Instructions excellent. It is the second such harness I have installed, one on a 2018 Tiguan and one on a 2022. Great product and great company!!



by:

Super simple to install.

Good product. Nice , easy connections. Thanks.

I haven't installed or used the wiring harness yet but the purchasing process was a pleasure as usual with etrailer.com.

The Tekonsha part works great. I own a VW and "trailer" turn signals hyperflash when car headlights are on. Yet all other light modes work fine. Turn headlights off 100% perfect. It's a VW computer thing. The Curt was worse.

Scott

5/29/2022

I finally rid myself of hyperflash issue. I traded VW in on 22 Nissan Frontier ready to tow. Product was great but VW is a problem to wire for electric brakes. Needs an additional $xxx factory module....maybe. Nobody would help me with it. Not etrailers fault. As A Mechanic VW computer systems and wiring are very complex. Not for the novice. Dealer would not even help me with it. Never again VW. Again product was great and so is etrailer. It is a VW issue.



by:
2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

Works great on my 2023 VW Tiguan. The hardest part was running the power wirer under the car while on the ground.



by:
2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

Everything went on without a hitch! (pardon the pun). The was on-time and the video of the install was very helpful.



by:

No complaints here. The shipping turnaround was super quick and items were packaged well.



by:

Excellent product, almost all plug n play. Clearly gaining access to the connections and running the primary to the battery are the biggest obstacles.
Watch the videos and read the reviews before you buy. If it sounds beyond your skillset it probably is.
For me, popping the panels proved easy. I managed to not break anything. All the provided wiring reached where it was supposed to.
I followed the advice of another review suggesting that the primary be run thru the vehicle cabin along and under the trim. Then I found an access hole in the engines firewall where other wires passed thru a rubber grommet. I actually uncurled a metal hanger, guided it thru from cabin to engine compartment, connected the provided primary wire and pulled it back thru.
My vehicle’s underbody has a full length cover/shield, which without a lift would have been awful to deal with.
Again, excellent product.



by:

Great Customer a service and follow up. Overall things work well on the Tiquan and the installation support and videos made it a breeze.



by:

Excellent website and customer service. It was easy to find my vehicle’s hitch components and understand the installation instructions.

Desiree and George, customer service, kept me informed took good care of me.

I’ll definitely return to etrailer in the future.



by:
2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

I bought this for our 2018 Tiguan and it works great. The instructions were well thought out and easy to follow. Included everything I needed in materials to complete the job. I would however recommend running the main power wire through the cabin instead of using zip-ties to the bottom of the car. It provides a cleaner install and there are plenty of vides to follow for this. total time it took was a few hours taking my time with routing it inside.



by:
2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

Difficult to install, mostly the VW. Otherwise, works well.



by:
2021 Volkswagen Tiguan

Easy to use website. etrailer customer service answered my questions and responded quickly and accurated with shipping information. Happy customer...



by:

Works great and is a fraction of the price of VW kit (which is hard to find these days). The video tutorial was super helpful...I could not have completed without it.

etrailer rocks.



by:

Seems to work as advertised. Seems to be a quality product Install was a bit of a hassle but not too bad. I recommend watching the video for the CURT wiring. Easier to follow than the fuzzy pictures and less than perfect printed instructions that came with the Tekonsha harness.

  • Is There an Alternative to Connecting a T-One Trailer Wiring Harness to 2020 VW Tiguan Battery?
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118811 should be connected directly to the vehicle battery. This protects your vehicle wiring and it make sure you don't end up with a blown fuse or short circuit. The module draws 7.5 amps per circuit for the tail lights and 5 amps per circuit for stop/turn lights. The battery powers the module which in turn powers the trailer lights. It keeps the module and trailer from drawing power from the vehicle turn/stop...

  • Does the Curt Hitch # C13381 Fit My 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan?
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13381 is confirmed to fit all models of 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. If you are looking for a wiring harness for transporting a small trailer, I recommend the T-One Harness # 118811. This will provide your Tiguan with brakelight/running light/turn signal capabilities. For a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 2" Rise, 4" Drop # C45554.

  • Will Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118811 Fit 2023 VW Tiguan
    Yes, we have confirmed that the Tekonsha # 118811 will fit the 2023 VW Tiguan. The T-One connectors will plug into the connection points in the rear cargo area. Once installed, you'll have a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. If you also need a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e43ZR. This is identical to the Curt # C13381 you looked at but with a matte black powder coat finish. This does a better job hiding dirt and dings compared to a glossy finish....

  • Can the Rear 12 Volt Cig Outlet Be Used To Install T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness On 2019 VW Tiguan
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118811 is an excellent option for a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan. In regards to installation, the power wire must be run to the battery as specified in the installations. The rear cigarette lighter outlet cannot be used for this purpose as it does not have the proper rating.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL Premium R-Line
    I would be happy to help! For your 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL Premium R-Line I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e43ZR as it is confirmed to fit all models of your Tiguan. This hitch has a hidden crosstube meaning that once installed only the receiver itself will be visible, and the 2" receiver gives you the most options when it comes to accessories like a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount. If you are planning on towing a trailer with your Tiguan you will need a vehicle...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Class III Hitch on 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan.
    The ball mount you need will depend on the coupler height of your Jon boat trailer when it's jacked up so the frame sits level with the ground. The average trailer coupler height is usually between 16-18 inches. When we installed the Curt # C13381 hitch on a 2019 VW Tiguan, we found that the inside top edge of the receiver sat 11-1/2 inches high. This means that a ball mount with 6 inches of rise like the Curt # C24WR would put you pretty close to the average trailer coupler height. For...

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Options For a 2022 VW Tiguan SEL
    The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7393 is the a great receiver for your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL. The removable receiver tube and construction with recycled materials is a great option. I do recommend considering the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT62GR and Stealth Hitches # SH49ZR as well. I personally like these options as they are much easier to install and remove as they do not use a threaded bolt like the EcoHitch. This is very helpful as if its not easily removable...

  • 2020 Tiguan 4Motion Towing Capacity
    With the vehicle towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, you should not exceed that weight. This could cause a failure and would most likely void the warranties on both the vehicle and trailer. So yes, the 100 pounds definitely makes a difference. If you are indeed going with this model trailer, then you would want to travel with the tanks empty and as much weight removed as possible. The electric brakes will not help with towing capacities, but definitely helps with stopping. To get those brakes...

    The installation video and instructions for the Curt T-Connector # C56403 and Tekonsha T-One # 118811 are essentially identical. There might be slight differences but you could easily install one brand with instructions from the other brand no problem.

    You have the Class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, 76192 on your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, this has an integrated mounting point for a 4-pole flat trailer connector. I suggest the Brophy bracket, # BK4F. Simply install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118811 per included instructions and then put the 4-way flat plug through an existing opening in the floor pan of your Tiguan.

  • Both Blinkers on With Wiring Harness 118811
    It isn't the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118811 being bad (if that's what you were referencing by "the connector itself"); if that was the case nothing at all would be working as it's the module that would be going bad. When both blinkers go on at the same time, the issue is a bad ground. So on both your tow vehicle and trailer, make sure your grounds are attached to bare metal surfaces and free of any paint, dirt or corrosion. I'm guessing it's the...

  • Is The Curt 4-Way # C56403 Better Or Worse Than The Tekonsha 4-Way # 118811 On a 2022 VW Tiguan?
    In my experience I have found the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118811 to be the better 4-way wiring for your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. The internal components in the powered converter do not go out as often as those in the Curt T-Connector # C56403.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13381 Fit A 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
    I would be happy to help! First the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13381 is indeed confirmed to fit your 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. The reason it was pulled down as a confirmed fit for a bit was due to the 2021 Tiguan requiring mounting hardware where the 2020 and older used factory hardware. Curt realized this issue and is now including the hardware with the # C13381 so it can be installed on your Tiguan. Between the # C13381 and # C12177 you were looking at I recommend the # C13381 as...

    The etrailer Class III hitch part # e43ZR is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan and would be a great option. It has a 3,500 lb trailer towing capacity as well. For a ball mount you'd want the part # 36051, hitch ball # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch ball. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118811 which is a confirmed fit.

  • Receiver Length Behind Hitch Pin On EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan
    I recommend installing the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7393 on your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan to use with your Yakima Dr Tray bike carrier. This receiver has a length of 3.25 from the hitch pin center hole to the back of the receiver. The Receiver # 306-X7395 only has 2" behind the pin hole center and will not allow you to properly use your anti-rattle that is built into the Dr tray.

It turns out that not all the 2021 VW Tiguans have the weld nuts installed in the frame, I'm told that whether the nuts are in the frame depends on the factory where the vehicle was assembled.
