For a brake controller that will work well with your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, I recommend taking a look at the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. The Tekonsha P3 is one of our best selling brake controllers due to its built in safeguards and ease of use.

Unfortunately, a plug and play brake controller wiring harness is not available for your Atlas at this time therefore, the only way to install the controller would be to hardwire it directly to your vehicle's wiring harness. This can be easily accomplished while using a circuit tester like part # PTW2992.

If you do not already have a trailer wiring harness, then you will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118754 and the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. If you already have a 4-way trailer wiring harness installed, then all you would need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller and if you already have a 7-way trailer wiring harness installed then you would only need the brake controller.

I have attached a few review videos for you to take a look at as well.
