The correct trailer wiring harness for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf R is a hardwire kit from Curt, which is the following part number:

- Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236

Since you're going to be doing some towing with your '16 VW Golf R, if you also need a hitch and ball mount, the correct fits are the following:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11564
- Curt Class II Drawbar # C45016
- 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40001 or 2" Hitch Ball # C40018
- Pin & Clip # F-4
