Is There a Wiring Harness for 2011 VW Touareg With Factory 7-Way for Tekonsha Primus IQ

Question:

Hello, I currently own a Tekonsha Primus brake controller thats in my Ford. Id like to use it in my 2011 VW Touareg TDi with factory tow package. I cant seem to find the correct pigtail harness to connect the factory plug thats up under the dash to the controller itself. Do you have one for me? Thanks!

So I can help you out with some info, but for a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg, there actually isn't an aftermarket wiring harness available for any brake controller, including the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160, even though you have the factory 7-way.

In order to install a brake controller, you will need the following parts that are available from a Volkswagen dealer - 1 connector housing (#1J0-972-782) and 2 wire/terminal assemblies (#000-979-228).

I have added a link below to a tech bulletin which I recommend checking out that details what you need as well as the installation procedure.
