For your 2017 Volkswagen Touareg with a factory 7-way there is one super easy brake controller solution that I recommend for you. I recommend the Curt Echo part # C51180 because it basically just plugs into your 7-way and gives you a brake controller you can operate from your smart phone. All other solutions for your vehicle require special harnesses that we can't get but this one is incredibly easy and works well. Check out the review video I attached for more info too.
