Helpful Expert Reply:
For the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan we have the Tow Ready 4-way wiring harness part # 118811 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. For the 2012 you'd need to go with the # 118675 which fits the older version. The part numbers are very similar with the only difference being that the 6 and 7 are switched. I only mention that so you don't accidentally order the same harness twice.
