The 7-way to 5-way and 4-way trailer adapter # C35FR you referenced isn't recommended for the 2006 VW Touareg because it's the first generation, but I do have another option for you. Volkswagen made changes to the tow package starting in 2007 that requires specialized adapters.

A comparable adapter would be the Optronics 7-pole to 5-pole flat # A75TB that would work for you.

Another adapter that I recommend is the Hopkins multi-tow trailer connector adapter 7-way to 6-way, 5-way or 4-way # HM47570, because it changes your vehicle's 7-blade connector to a 6-pole. In addition, there is a 4-pole and 5-pole flat built in. I think you will like the weatherproof lids and they can open 180 degrees for easy connection access.

I included a couple video reviews about each adapter and informative article about trailer wiring for you too.
