Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2008 Volkswagen Touareg to Prevent Dash Sensor Lights

Question:

Ive heard some disparaging reports on aftermarket wiring harnesses for the Touaregs. Sensors constantly going off and lights being messed up and needing computer work after. Ive matched my vehicle 08 Touareg to the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. Is this harness designed to avoid those issues?

I have a perfect solution for you. The ZCI Trailer Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT would be the best route to go. Unlike other trailer wiring harnesses this one does not actually pierce any taillight wiring so you will not have to worry about any issues with the computer or dash lights.

This kit can sense when current is traveling through the wires to know which trailer tail light circuit to activate and then draws the power for the taillights from the vehicle battery.
