- Recommended Solution For Thule Roof Rack on 2013 Volkswagen Passat
- I may have a solution for you to continue using your existing Thule Squarebars that you used with your Thule TH400XT feet, but those feet were discontinued in 2015 along with the corresponding fit kits and parts are no longer available. However, you could use your old squarebars with the Thule Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145185 to create a roof rack system for your 2013 Volkswagen Passat.

- I wish I had better news, but there have been no updates to wiring harness availability for the 2014 Volkswagen Passat. There is not a huge demand for wiring harnesses for this vehicle, so it has not been very high on the priority list for wiring harness manufacturers.
I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha (a wiring harness manufacturer) and he said the Passat has Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) wiring, so the best option would be their ZCI Circuit Protected Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT. We...

view full answer... - Replacement Key for Volkswagen Factory Roof Rack Locks Made by Thule
- I do believe that typically Volkswagen factory racks are made by Thule, and we do have replacement keys for Thule racks. However, the only keys we have available for Thule locks with the key code that begins with N and typically is a 001-099; I'm not aware of any Thule keys that have codes over 099.
If potentially the 808 was a typo and your key number is actually 008 then you can use the # THKEYN008 to replace the key on your VW factory roof rack.

- For your 2017 Volkswagen Passat I recommend going with the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713093.
This tow dolly has plenty of capacity to be able to handle the weight of your Passat at 4,800-lbs, a tilting bed frame which is great for unloading and loading your toad, and also has a disc braking system and a E-Z latch surge brake coupler so you don't need to buy a 7-way or brake controller.

- You can certainly add a brake controller to a 2009 VW Passat but you may not need to. We normally recommend a brake controller if the gross trailer weight is 50 percent or more of the vehicle weight. Since the Passat does not have that high of a towing capacity (check the owners manual for exact numbers) it may not ever reach as high as 50 percent of the vehicle weight.
But if you want to go ahead and install a brake controller you will first need to install a 4-Way wiring harness using...

- In regards to charging a trailer battery, you have a few options. The best option to ensure you have a full battery each time you are ready to setup and camp would be a DC to DC powered battery charger which uses the vehicle's alternator. The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1225D is what I recommend.
The other options entail running a charge line through the trailer connector from the vehicle battery but this requires a 7-way like part # ETBC7L (charge line included)...

view full answer... - How To Add Lights To My Volkswagen Passat While Being Towed On Tow Dolly
- After doing research we do not carry nor none of our competitors carry a wiring harness that will control the lights on your 2019 Volkswagen Passat while towing with a tow dolly. You will still have to use your magnetic tow lights like The Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Light Set # 337TL257M. I like these magnetic lights over the others we carry because the lights can be quickly mounted, repositioned, and removed for storage when not in use. The lights also come with a carrying case which will...
