You will need harness # C59496 to wire your 2007 Volkswagen Passat for towing. Your vehicle has a multiplexed system which requires alternative wiring of this kit.
You will need to find the wiring plugged into the back of the taillights. On the driver's side use a test light, item # PTW2993 if needed, and find the wire that has tail, brake and turn functions. Connect the yellow wire from the converter box to this wire. Next find the 12-volt taillight wire and connect the brown wire to... view full answer...
The Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert # HM60100VA or the Smart Hitch camera with sensors # HM60195VA uses a wire that can be run either under the bumper or through it. I recommend drilling a hole just big enough for the connector on the wire through the bumper so you can have a clean look. You will then run the wire through a rubber grommet seal to access your wiring or along a trim panel to get to the wiring location without pinching or crimping the wires. view full answer...
