Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove all trunk floor coverings, rear scuff panel, and interior side trim panel, and pull back the felt trunk liner to access these connection points. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead to your car battery, which can be found in your trunk on the passenger's side. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your trunk.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.
Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.
Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.The wiring kit is working perfectly after 1 year of use! I tow my dirtbikes to the trail with my Golf a few times a month and the lighting always works! Installation was a breeze while following along with the video. I did take some extra steps and ran the power wire under the interior trim. I wish more sites would take after etrailer with the video instructions and customer support. I initially ordered the wrong harness and the team made getting the correct replacement a breeze!!
2019 eGolf - Worked well, tapped into the rear 12v socket for power to avoid going under or through the car to the battery. THEY WON'T TELL YOU BUT THIS WILL WORK ON A EGOLF
Excellent, great fit. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would have preferred not having to run a power line all the way to the battery at the front of the car. It always makes me feel a bit sketchy that the wire will catch on something even though there were plenty of zip ties to secure it. Also by having the power line it is immediately apparent that there was electrical work done to the car which can potentially void the factory warranty if there is an electrical failure.
VW GTi 2020 install was a snap what a headache remover just gonna rewire the trailer and plug n go. VW dealer couldn’t help me out wanted to send me to an RV Shop to get fixed up. That’s when I did some searches n etrailer popped up and all my troubles are gone DYI easy peasy ready to roll n tow
Works great, but the install instructions are BAD, video is not great either. Install per instructions looks DIY, and there are better ways to route wire and hook up to battery that look way more stock/ factory. Will need crimp tool to do proper wire connections.
One Year Later...
The light kit is still working just fine. Can't complain at all.
PERFECT for my 2020 GTI. Easy install and works a charm.
Perfect fit
Excellent customer service Thank you An drew

Thank you for your review. As long as you keep the wiring away from moving parts and heat with a lot of zip ties then you shouldnt have any issues. There is a law called the Magnussen-Moss warranty act that states, in part, that if you install an aftermarket part on your car then it will not void the warranty unless that part caused the problem.
