Question:

I have a 2017 Volkswagen Touareg VR6 Wolfsburg edition with a factory installed hitch and 7 pin wiring connector at the hitch. Im going to be hauling a 5,000 lb boat on a 2018 EZ Loaber 2 axle aluminum trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes. Please recommend the correct Tekonsha controller for hard-wire installation and let me know if it includes the plug and play adapter for the VW wiring connector, or if I need to purchase additional parts for the adapter from VW. Thank you !

Hi Vernon,

For your 2017 Volkswagen Touareg I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 along with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # TK22FR. The P3 is one of the easiest brake controllers on the market to use and has a bunch of added features, making it an industry favorite. With the plug-in wire harness the installation process will be fast and simple, no cutting or splicing wires.
