Question:
2023 VW Atlas with factory tow package. Looking for a brake harness adapter that plugs into the factory brake harness that is located behind the drivers side kick panel. I’d rather not cut off the factory provided harness connector. Thanks.

Hey John, the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR would be a great brake controller for your 2023 Volkswagen Atlas and to install it you would need to use the Curt brake controller install harness part # C29JR which you would cut off the one end and wire color by color to the Redarc's universal harness that comes with it.
I recommend the Redarc because it's very easy to use, reliable, and only puts a small knob on the dash of your vehicle while performs really great too.
