Features to know about

Installs Fast Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector

A lot of wiring kits mean chasing wires and splicing connections. This one skips all that. The Curt T-Connector plugs right into your vehicle’s existing wiring behind the rear panels, giving you a 4-flat trailer connector without any guesswork. It’s built for a quick, clean install that most folks can handle with basic tools.

Draws Power Safely from the Battery: Powered Converter Design

The included power lead connects straight to your battery through the supplied fuse holder. That setup keeps trailer lights from overloading your vehicle’s wiring and helps prevent dimming or flickering signals. The converter uses surface-mount technology (SMT) for better heat control and consistent performance over time.

Reliable Lighting Signals Every Time: 4-Flat Trailer Connector

Once installed, this harness gives you a standard 4-way flat output for running lights, turn signals, and brake lights. It’s the connection most small and mid-size trailers use, so you’re ready to hook up and go.

Built-In Protection for Long-Term Use: Weather-Ready Connectors

The harness includes a cap to keep out moisture when it’s not in use. For extra protection, applying dielectric grease on the terminals helps prevent corrosion—especially if you live near saltwater or humid conditions. That little bit of care keeps your connections clean and dependable every trip.

Had nothing but excellent customer service from them on two separate orders so far.

Fast delivery. The Harness was easy to install and good directions to follow.



by:

Good instructions and a good product. Fit perfectly



by:

it was easy to install with detailed instructions and worked great.



by:

I was impressed with what a relatively simple job putting on my hitch was for my ‘12 Tiguan. All parts in the kit were intact, and instructions were clear. How to get the wire up to the battery could’ve been clearer.



by:

Worked well, some connections took some trouble shooting. Ended up being poor grounding.
Overall good, would buy again for next trailer project.



by:

Fast shipping, great product, clear ins tructions.



by:

Trailer wiring harness was easy to install and was well made.



by:

Couldn’t be happier! Amazing product.



by:

After it was finally installed, it is great, but very vague instructions on removing the taillights, (had to go online to find out how) and no info on removing the plastic trim panel fasteners without breaking them, (waiting for new ones to come from [online retailer])



by:

Installation was a snap and it has been working well for me on my 2016 Tiguan! Have used it several times while towing a small utility trailer. I opted to pair this with an “OEM style” power wire/fuse holder purchased elsewhere… but that was just for cosmetic reasons, I’m sure the wire/fuse holder included in this kit would have worked well too.

Still working perfectly!



by:

Easy to install and the instructions were spot on! I have used numerous times and still love the ease of use! Plus I keep the connector in the car when not in use so it will last longer!

Amazing! I have used it in every weather condition the Midwest can throw at me and the connector still looks brand new. A superior product!



by:

I’m moving across the country and realized 3 days before my move date that I forgot to order the wiring harness! I ordered it immediately and paid for 2 day shipping. It arrived right on time, no delay at all. I installed it immediately! Everything in the trunk was relatively easy, but routing the power wire to the battery wasn’t fun at all since I don’t have a lift or jacks! However I made it happen and all is well. My towing lights work great and I couldn’t be happier with etrailer’s products! I have their hitch and wiring now. One VW Fanatic extremely happy!

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring For A 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan
    When it comes to installing a trailer wiring harness on your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan without knowing actually which wire you have I am not sure what part you're needing the wire you're discussing is for a break controller so it sounds like you were sold the wrong part.

  • What Area Needs to be Trimmed on a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan SE to Install a Trailer Hitch
    You are correct, there is some trimming required on the rear fascia on a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan to install a trailer hitch like # 36474. The area that needs to be trimmed is shown in the isntructions I have linked and I have also included a picture that shows the diagram. As far as tools, you can use a sharp utility knife, slowly make an initial cut as indicated in the instructions, just to score the area. Then make progressively deeper cuts until the blade goes all the way through. Once...

  • Troubleshooting Constant Trailer Connector Replacements on 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU26FR is a solid choice for wiring on your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan since it uses the tees to trigger the trailer light functions but it pulls power directly from your battery via the included power lead. Whenever there are issues with wiring malfunctioning like this it's almost always a bad ground on either the tow vehicle or the trailer.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan and Why Does Curt Require Stabilization Strap
    It just happens to be Curt's policy for all Class I and II hitches and any higher Class hitch that is not rated for use with weight distribution. The etrailer Hitch does not have this same policy and thus the stabilization strap does not have to be used for non-trailer loads such as bike racks or cargo carriers. If you want to avoid using the strap, then I would go with etrailer trailer hitch # e98906. I have linked a video showing how the hitch installs. f you plan on doing some towing...

  • Trailer Hitch that Does Not Require Bumper Trimming for a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan
    That is correct. On several of the trailer hitches for the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan, there is fascia trimming required to install the hitches on the vehicle. Even if trimming were not required, you will want to check the terms of your lease to see if a trailer hitch can even be installed just to be on the safe side. If you will be doing some towing I recommend adding the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For...

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
    We have a few trailer hitches designed to fit your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13133. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. This hitch is rated with 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight capacity. You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the towing or tongue weight capacity for your Tiguan. Using a heavier duty hitch does not increase the towing capacity...
