Ok so I will be installing a trailer hitch on my 2015 5n2 R line Tiguan soon and I found when checking under the bumper before ordering the the hitch itself that it already had the 7 pin round connector and harness leading up to the driver side rear compartment where the lug wrench and and jack are stored. I used an outlet form a vehicle at work that fit the connector to hook up and check power for running lights, brake lights, and turns but got nothing. I suspected being it had this harness underneath may have already had the trailer control module installed from the factory (but I'm not so sure now) after attempting coding as listed below.

-Run auto scan, this should give you the code of your dealer which we'll use later. Also to make sure you don't have any issues prior.
-Select 19 CAN Gateway.
-Select Installation List. Scroll down and check 69 Trailer. Save coding.
-Select 69 Trailer. (when trying to get into this module I got an error for not found)
-Select coding 07
-Edit your coding. The workshop code is your dealer. I think you can put any number here. I used the same dealer code that I pulled from the auto scan. The importer is 444. Equipt is 00001. Click Do it. Select long coding helper.
-Change it to NAR. Click exit and click do it again

So what would this thing be missing? Anyone work at a dealer that has installed this option before on a 5n2 or other 5n vehicles. I imagine there are plenty of other VAG platforms that use the same module and wiring. I have not removed the panel yet at the left rear to confirm if a trailer module is currently present but I am assuming they would not have installed that harness with the round 7 pin connector under the bumper and not include a module but I could be wrong.

If the module is not already there I assume I would need this kit with proper coding after installed, correct?

And yes the faults have all be addressed since this scan besides the Haldex pump fault which I will be going to the dealer to have repaired soon.

I suppose the trailer module your car is presumed to have, either isn't capable of diagnostics, defective (itself, power, CAN, GND) or simply isn't installed

Yes, in addition, I think the OEM module is pretty much always a 13-pin connector rather than the 7-pin connector.

Well the module itself is.

So I pulled the the panel and found no module just the two connectors wrapped in foam that plug into the module. And up front over the dead pedal here is a connector wrapped in foam with two hooked together and one just wrapped with them. That is the can bus high and low back to where the module would be it seems. So that is what the the y connector in the kit is for if anybody else was wondering.

Anyone know where I can find one of these can bus y connections? I found a module for a good price bit it doesn't come with this. Plus I don't want the 7 pin connector that comes in the kit being I am going to install on that has the 7 and 4 pin connector because I will only be using the 4 pin with my trailers.

I don't see why I couldn't solder these into the can high and low wires using a quality marine heat shrink like I've seen on many oem VAG Y connections. If anyone has a good reason not to I'm all ears.

Might be that it has preparations from the factory to fit a trailer bar? If so, there also must be a neat retrofit kit available from VW. Check your vehicle info to see if it has a PR-code for trailer preparation and check ETKA for a tow bar.

Edit: No PR-code listed in ETKA but there is a genuine tow-bar available. Maybe all US vehicles have trailer preparations as standard? It sure isn't on the other side of the pond...

There is a genuine kit available but I want to run a class 3 hitch with a 2"x2" receiver being they are supper common over here and one of the biggest reasons I am doing a hitch is to run a cargo basket for taking long trips with the dog and other passengers. I will run out of room in the trunk very fast with the small boot of the 5n2.

Got the hitch and module installed yesterday. Coding is done for the most part but I need help getting all the features working like the trailer theft alarm which does not work now.

Here is how it looks.
