Good morning Don.

The custom-fit plug and play Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56RJ for your 2026 VW Tiguan is still preorder as of now (3-9-26). Unfortunately I can't see when they will show up, so I recommend checking back with us in the next week or two. Sorry about that.

For now, a universal option like # C59496 would work but it needs to be hardwired in, so I'd highly recommend waiting for the plug and play option if you can. On a newer nice vehicle like that I'd hate to have you splicing in wires. Not that it's terribly difficult, but plug and play is the way to go for sure.

What are you planning on towing with it?

@DonL Yes hopefully it will be here by then; I suspect they will since they are on order.

@AndrewN will there be a wiring harness for the 2025 Tiguan as well. I'm assuming it's the same as the 2026. VW really dropped the ball on this one. They boast best in class towing capacity and don't have a hitch or a wiring assembly.

@Mark Hey Mark, it would be the same parts. It's unfortunate that VW doesn't have a solution and the Curt custom-fit solution is still on preorder only; I hope it arrives on our shelves very soon! If you need a solution now, the only thing that could be done is a universal splice-in option like # C59496. We do have a hitch that fits your Tiguan though, with part # C99RJ.
