Question:
Greetings! I just bought the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional - Dash Mount Item # C51170 I have a 2014 VW Touareg with the tow package. QUESTION Do I need any other parts to install this? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
If your tow package includes the factory 7-way trailer connector on the rear bumper, you'll need a few parts from the dealer. You'll need one #1J0-972-782 housing and (qty. 2) #000-979-228-E wire/terminal assemblies. I've linked to the tech bulletin that explains the procedure as well as to an install video showing how those VW parts work.
I've also linked to a demonstration video explaining how the Spectrum Brake Controller works.
