When it comes to replacing the trailer wiring harness on your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118668 gives you a 4-flat connector. This harness will plug into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights.

I attached an installation video link below.
