Question:
Hi, I am looking to add hitch and wires to a 2022 VW Taos. I will need to run the brake controller also. What wires will need to make it a 7 round with contoller?

I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR on your 2022 Volkswagen Taos. This receiver is custom fit for your Taos and has a hidden cross tube for a clean appearance. I have linked an installation video below which will allow you to see what all is involved to decide if this is something you will install yourself.
The Universal Wiring Harness w/ ModuLite and Brake Controller Harness # 22551 will provide you all the wiring needed for a 7-way. It includes a connector for a Tekonsha brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195. If you prefer only having a small knob on your dash for the controller the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR can be used with the Adapter # 331-TPH-017.
