Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI
Question:
I have a 2016 VW GTI, and want to set it up to pull a small UHaul trailer. Your website doesnt list a product specifically for the 2016 GTI. Will the kit for the Golf work? 2016 Volkswagen Golf ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit, part number 119250KIT. If that wont work, is there another kit that will work, maybe with some splicing involved? Note my car does have the adaptive lighting package option, although I think that only affects the front lights. Thanks for your help!

The ZCI Trailer Wiring harness part # 119250KIT is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI and would work great for trailer wiring.
It is a universal trailer wiring kit that will work well. It doesn't require any hardwiring at all. The harness uses sensors that clamp to the vehicle taillight wiring instead.
