For your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan we have trailer wiring harness # 118675. It plugs in line with the vehicle tail lights and also connects to the battery to power the lights and help protect the vehicle electrical system. It does not use the factory tow package wiring plug to install. I have linked a video review for you.

This may have been answered or common sense but I just want to make sure - installing this will not require any sort of ECU flash correct? I can install it *correctly* and have working trailer lights with no further fuss?

@Blake Hey Blake, you are correct. The wiring harness # 118675 can be installed on your Tiguan without any ECU flash or help from a dealership or any of that kind of nonsense.
