Expert Reply:
The 7-Way to 5-Way and 4-Way Trailer Adapter, # C35FR, that you have referenced is the part you need. It is specifically designed to work on a 2007 and newer Volkswagen Touareg when towing a trailer that is equipped with LED lights. Your Touareg will need to already have a 7-Way trailer connector and this this adapter will plug into it. The 5-Way trailer connector will then plug into the back of the adapter and that will be all you need.
