Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2006 Jetta TDI
Question:
Hello can you tell me what the correct wiring kit and hitch would be for this vehicle?

Expert Reply:
For a hitch I would recommend you get a Curt Trailer Hitch # C11474. I attached an installation video and instructions for you to check out also.
For wiring I would recommend the Tow Ready Harness # 118667 that you referenced. This is a plug and play harness that will plug right in to your tail light wiring and should work very well for you. Check out the installation instructions and video I attached also.
You may be interested in a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball # 19256 to complete your towing setup.
