Tekonsha wiring harness # 119250KIT is not one of the recommended trailer wiring harnesses for your 2005 Volkswagen Touareg. I have included a link to the harnesses recommended for your vehicle. The only recommended harness is the T-one style connector # 118509 that plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring, # 118509.

If you wanted to go with a hardwire type of harness then you could use # C59496. We have not yet installed this harness on a 2005 Touareg so we do not know the specific wire colors needed. But the harness does come with a circuit tester so you can test the wires and attach them to the correct wires on the harness. I have linked installation details for both harnesses for you.
