The 2009 Volkswagen Crafter is similar to the Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter. In order to install a brake controller on this vehicle you would have to hardwire it in. I have included links to some videos that should help along with our help article on the 4- and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7.
We do not have any custom wiring for the 2009 VW Crafter so you may need to visit a VW dealership to get trailer wiring if needed. If the vehicle already has the appropriate trailer connector then you would just follow the relevant parts of the ETBC7 instructions and you would use an install kit such as # 5506 instead of ETBC7.
