The recommended trailer wiring harness for your 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan is the Tow Ready harness part # 119190KIT. This is a universal harness designed to fit several vehicles. We do not have an install video for this vehicle, but I have attached a guide that will give you an idea of how the harness would install on your vehicle.
We had a customer install this harness on a 2013 Tiguan who offered the following advice:
If you have a Tiguan, use the VW-supplied tool to help remove the rear lights. The tool helps to pull a cover off of each light to gain access to the bolts holding the lamp assembly in place. Once you have the bolts out, pull the light assembly straight back while wiggling it to free it from the white retainer. To remove the electrical connector, turn the lamp assembly upside down and pull out the red part until it stops. Next, depress the clip just in front of the red sliding piece to remove the power connector from the lamp assembly.
