Is There a Plug-n-play Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2012 VW Touareg
Question:
In one of your FAQs its mentioned that a plug and play type of brake controller wiring harness is not available for a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg. I dont know the date of the FAQ, so was wondering if a plug-n-plan harness was now available. Thanks

According to my technical contact at Tekonsha, there is still no plug-n-play harness available for the 2012 Volkswagen Touareg.
If you would like to install the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller and you have a factory 7-way, the harness you will need is the Draw-Tite Wiring Kit # 5506. If your vehicle does not have a 7-way connector, then the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 is the correct part number.
I have attached a general information FAQ regarding brake controllers for you as well as brake controller installation. I have also attached a brief video with the # ETBC7 as well as a short installation video where the vehicle is not your model, however, the installation is the same.
