  • Thule AeroBlade Edge Compatible with 2015 VW Tiguan
  • The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - Black # TH7503B-TH7503B is not compatible with the 2015 VW Tiguan. For the similar style that does fit your vehicle, I recommend the # TH7501B-TH7502B which is confirmed to fit.

  • Length Of Curt Echo Brake Controller For 7-Way Angled Downward for Ground Clearance
  • I went out to the warehouse and measured the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional part # C51180. I have attached a diagram of the measurements for your reference. If you have the space I recommend to use the Curt Echo. It will stick down about 4-1/2" from your 7-Way plug. It can be used in any orientation, I have added a photo for your reference. The Curt Echo is the most convenient brake controller option we have because it requires virtually no wiring...

  • Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Compatibility with Towing 5,000 lb Boat
  • The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 you referenced is rated to have a maximum tongue weight of 400 lbs. This is not to be used for towing a trailer but rather only for a hitch mounted accessory or flat towing a vehicle. If the tongue weight exceeds the 400 lbs, it is also not recommended to use this accessory. To safely tow your boat you will need to utilize another style of spare tire carrier or remove the spare tire carrier...

  • Replacement Pin To Hold Gate Of Utility Trailer
  • I recommend to use Bolt-On Stainless Steel Spring Latch pins part # SL716SS that can be bolted to the utility trailer to keep the gate closed. At this time we do not carry the clip/pin with chain for the gates on your Snowbear utility trailer. I have attached a photo of an example.

  • Stowed Length of ARK ORJW1SU Off Road Trailer Jack
  • The ARK # ORJW1SU Off-Road trailer jack will need about 21-3/4 inches of available space on the trailer tongue. I wasn't able to make out the dimensions on your tape measure in the photo, so I couldn't say judging by that if it'll fit. I've linked to a product demonstration video featirng the # ORJW1SU trailer jack.

  • Can the Curt Echo C51180 Be Used On a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg With Factory Anti-Sway Fetaures
  • The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 is indeed an excellent option for your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. The concerns you have of the device interfering with the integrated features such as transmission shift point adjustments and anti-sway prevention are valid but not an issue with the Curt Echo. The device is simply a pass through that intercepts the brake output circuit and applies varying voltage accordingly. It even works with factory brake controllers as well. I...

  • Yakima Roof Rack for 2014 Volkswagen Touareg with Factory Side Rails and Sunroof
  • Yakima roof rack system, FlushBars # Y00456-0457 and Fit Kit # Y00158 that you have referenced, is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Touareg with factory siderails. As for the sunroof, if your Volkswagen Touareg has the kind of sunroof that goes into a cavity inside the roof and no part of it sticks up, then it will not interfere with a roof rack. If it slides up and back it is more likely to interfere with the sunroof. I don't recommend opening the sunroof with a roof rack installed...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Controller on 2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDi
  • The installation of a brake controller in your 2010 Volkswagen Toureg is more in depth than most. I've attached a help article that will walk you through the installation process. If you choose to go with a hardwired controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. The P2 is one of our top selling controllers because of its ease of use. If you'd rather go with a wireless controller the Curt Echo # C51180 is your solution. As long as you have a 7-way trailer connector with an...

  • How to Install Curt Adapter for 7-Way on 2011 Volkswagen Touareg to 4-Way Flat on Trailer
  • If your 2011 Volkswagen Touareg has a 7-Way connector then the Curt Adapter # C35FR is what you are loking for. According to the picture you sent in your trailer has a 4-Way flat connector. The adapter has 1 male pin and 4 female pins for the trailer connector which makes it compatible with both 4-Way flat and 5-Way flat trailer connectors. Since you have a 4-Way flat you will simply ignore that last female pin. If your Touareg doesn't have a 7-Way connector like you see on the pickup...

  • Can Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box Fit with a Kayak Carrier
  • The Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6357B is 33" wide so it will take up at least that much space on your crossbars, but it's also important to remember that the lid will rotate out as well so you need to account for a little more space. I don't have an exact amount but I'd say at least 4". From what I'm seeing you should be able to get this to fit with a kayak but you'll likely need to move your kayak carrier out to the edge of the crossbars as far as you can. You'll likely need...

  • Using the Yakima Flushbar System on a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The kit on the Yakima Flushbar kit, part # Y00456-0457 and part # Y00158 do include the feet to connect to your flush rails. This is actually the fit kit, part # Y00158's entire job. The fit kit will clip into the bottom of the towers on the end of the crossbar and help adjust the bars to fit your roof correctly. I never recommend opening the sunroof on any vehicle with roof bars installed. Primarily, there's risk of contacting the bars with the glass of the sunroof when it opens, causing...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Without a Factory Installed 7-way
  • Since you indicated that you do not have a wiring bundle under the dash then you most likely do not have a factory installed 7-way towing package for your 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. To establish a 7-way that will activate through the brake controller you will initially have to establish a 4-pole connection then convert that to a functional 7-way, and finally properly install a brake controller. To install a 4-way on your 2011 Tourageg you will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Will Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier # C18145 Fit on 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan w/ 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • To see if the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, will mount to your Volkswagen Tiguan with 1-1/4 Hitch, you will need to take a measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin out past the rear of the bumper. If this measurement is less than 6 inches, the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, will work on your Volkswagen Tiguan. If you find that you need more clearance than 6 inches, I would recommend the Tow Ready Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63155, which...

  • Trailer Wiring Kits for 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
  • The Curt 7-Way Wiring Adapter # C57003 is a special type of adapter that is used when certain import vehicles like VWs tow a trailer that has LED type lighting. LED lights use very little power so they can sometimes have compatibility issue with vehicle wiring that is expecting to see the much higher power draw from standard incandescent-type bulbs. This adapter does plug into a 7-way and in turn provides a new 7-way socket for a trailer's plug. This connector format carries lighting, trailer...

  • So I can help you out with some info, but for a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg, there actually isn't an aftermarket wiring harness available for any brake controller, including the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160, even though you have the factory 7-way.
