How to Install Curt Adapter for 7-Way on 2011 Volkswagen Touareg to 4-Way Flat on Trailer
Question:
I am in need of a trailer adapter for my 2011 VW Touareg VR6, for a trailer that has LED lights. I found your C35FR, however the trailer has a 4 way round connector, and I do not see how it would connect to your adapter. I have attached a picture of the trailer end, if you can provide any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If your 2011 Volkswagen Touareg has a 7-Way connector then the Curt Adapter # C35FR is what you are loking for. According to the picture you sent in your trailer has a 4-Way flat connector. The adapter has 1 male pin and 4 female pins for the trailer connector which makes it compatible with both 4-Way flat and 5-Way flat trailer connectors. Since you have a 4-Way flat you will simply ignore that last female pin.
If your Touareg doesn't have a 7-Way connector like you see on the pickup in the video then please send me a picture of the connector and I can help you find the correct adapter.
