Trailer Wiring Kit For 2023 Volkswagen GTI
Question:
Ive installed a Tork-Lift Stealth Hitch on a 2023 Volkswagen GTI same body as 2022 GTI. Now I need to a 7-pin system between the GTI and a travel trailer NuCamp TAB 320 clamshell. This trailer requires 12V supply for trickle charging the trailer battery, and a wire for controlling electric brake. There doesnt seem to be a wiring kit specific to the 2022/2023 GTI unless youre working on it. Is that correct? So what general kit can I buy and have an expert install? There is a cigarette lighter outlet in the trunk of the GTI.

To add a 7-way to your 2022 Volkswagen GTI there are a couple parts you will need:
- Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236
- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7
You will first install the 4-flat, which will activate your trailer's lighting functions, and you'll then plug that into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, which also gives you the wiring, circuit breakers, and rest of the hardware needed for installation.
