- You will need to check your owners manual to see what the trailer towing capacity is for your Touareg.
Many times the construction of a vehicle will restrict the amount of weight the vehicle can tow. I looked at a 2010 Touareg and the trailer hitch we have that is designed for the 2010 is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13220. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. A technical note states that you cannot use weight distribution with this hitch.

- The Curt Cargo Bag # C18220 was designed to fit in the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115 and you wouldn't be able to mount it directly to the roof of your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg.
If you'd like a little larger bag that was designed for a bare roof application I recommend the Rightline Gear Sport 2 # RL100A20.
Either way I you go it would be helpful to also use the Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad # RL100650 to help protect your roof and to further help keep your cargo bag in place.

- 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 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...
