I have a good solution but the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7332 is not a fit for your 2018 VW Golf GTI Autobahn. That is specifically for the R model of the Golf. Instead use the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7375. This hitch is designed for your vehicle and offers the removable receiver tube so you can have a very nice clean look if you choose to when the hitch is not in use.

As far as the parking assist there have been no reports of the hitch having any effect on it. I also checked the installation instructions on this hitch and the DrawTite part # 24979 and did not find any information in there even mentioning it so I assume that there are no worries.

Should you need trailer wiring the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56405 is a custom made harness for your GTI and will give you the 4-way connector for lighting functions.

I have linked the recommended parts as well as a couple on installations we did on them and a 2018 VW Golf.
