The Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 that you referenced is a universal kit so technically it will fit all vehicles.

However, since we have the Tekonsha T-One # 118646 at a similar price that is a custom fit for your 2012 Volkswagen Passat there is no need to use a universal item.

The universal option requires hardwiring everything while the T-One clips in behind your tail lights and then a 12V power lead is run to the battery. This is a much easier install.

I have attached a review video for the T-One and installation instructions for both options that you can reference.
