Hello Ahmed; for a hitch that fits your 2023 Volkswagen ID 4 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84GR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. It has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the rear and comes with a lifetime warranty.
For wiring, you need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This splices into your existing wiring and will give you a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.
If you would rather not splice on your ID 4 you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT instead. This uses zero contact interface connectors that will clamp on. If you also need a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
