Installation of CURT custom vehicle trailer wiring
Two types of trailer wiring
CURT offers two types of custom trailer wiring: custom wiring harnesses and custom wiring connectors. Both are made for specific vehicles, and both require zero cutting or splicing.
Custom trailer wiring harnesses
A custom trailer wiring harness (also known as a ‘T-connector’) is designed to ‘T’ into your vehicle’s taillight assembly. This simply requires access to the taillight wiring.
Custom trailer wiring connectors
A custom wiring connector uses a single plug to plug into a designated OEM socket on the vehicle. Not all vehicles are equipped with this socket, but it does make installing very easy.
Both vehicle-specific
Each custom trailer wiring harness and connector is made for a specific make and model, featuring the necessary components to provide a standard trailer wiring output.

Selecting custom wiring
Whatever your lifestyle, choosing the right CURT custom trailer wiring harness for your vehicle is easy. Simply use your vehicle's year, make, model and style.
Benefits of CURT surface mount technology (SMT)
Minimum heat generation
The high-quality components used in our custom trailer wiring create very little resistance to reduce heat, limit voltage drop and extend the life of the circuits.
Optimum light intensity
SMT is manufactured with automated processes for maximum consistency and the highly efficient circuitry promotes optimum intensity and life for the trailer light.
Durable performance
Surface mount technology is able to better withstand shaking and vibrations, conditions that are common while towing, compared to traditional through-hole-mount tech.
Product description
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Volkswagen Tiguan (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 2, 2020Verified PurchaseThis is perfect for my 2014 Tiguan. No soldering, plug and play set up. If u can't hook up the battery power immediately, its a bypass system, so the vehicle lights will still work. Beats the 300$ plus the dealer wants.

5.0 out of 5 stars trailer wiring made easy
Verified PurchaseIt's easy in that it takes the guess work out of figuring out which existing wire to cut and tap into to feed the trailer lights when it comes pre-made with wiring harnesses to plugin into. I bought this CURT 56422 Vehicle-Side Custom 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness so my 2013 VW Tiguan can pull a U-Haul trailer knowing it's required.
What made it easy was that I just had to disconnect the 2 rear lights from the wiring harness they each had attached to them, then those harnesses would plugin into the CURT which in turn had its own harness that would then be plugged into each of the rear lights socket. Basically it's a Y adapter with harnesses on both ends so that whatever electric signal would go to the rear lights (for turn signal, tail lights or brake lights) is also sent to the trailer.
Those connections were easy, but what was difficult was getting the wiring hidden. First it's the wiring between those 2 Y's since the youtube video for this had the removal of a plastic cover in the trunk wall that for my car was very difficult that instead I just had the wiring laying in the space where the spare tire is located since it's not seen there anyway. Not being able to remove that plastic also made access to the left rear light difficult but I was able to pry enough to get the new harness to go through. After that was to get the black wire run from under the rear right of the car all the way to the front from underneath and pulled up in the engine compartment to attach to the battery. Crawling under my car and finding places to secure that wire to with zip ties was no fun but I was able to get it done.
After all was done I didn't have a trailer just yet to be able to test that setup so I went to my local harbor freight that had one for about $3 that once connected I was able to test all those rear lights and confirm the setup & functionality of the trailer wiring was good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked 2016 VW Tiguan
Verified PurchaseInstall was pretty straight forward if you watch the videos. The hardest part by far is running the wire under the car then up through the engine compartment to the battery. FYI your Tiguan probably already has the wiring in place from the factory, it's hidden in your bumper but it uses a proprietary (not available from big box store or local auto parts store) VW connector to go from 7 pin to 4 pin for trailer towing. So unless you have the time and search ability to find the adaptor for the connector online, this wiring harness is the way to go. Also, tip - Having 3' or so of small flexible hose makes 'fishing' the wires in tight spaces much easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wires are just long enough to reach both tail lights
Verified PurchaseTail light connectors fit good could use more zip ties in the package but that's normal especially since you have to route a wire to the front of the car, did come with a small container of RTV silicone for where you have to go through the hole in the rear floor to reseal

5.0 out of 5 stars Practically useless instructions; great 鶹 support
Verified PurchaseCURT as a rule has decent products. I purchased my hitch from them and it was well-made and easy to install. I ordered the wrong wiring kit. It was difficult to tell because the instructions for the kit are more or less useless. To provide some perspective, the photos are black and white. Vehicle wiring is color coded, and without color photos there is no way to be sure you are connecting things properly. Fortunately, I had not opened the packages. 鶹 support was superb in facilitating a return and for that I gave the purchase a 5-star rating. The CURT wiring I would rate only 4-star because of the poor instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kinda works on MK7 Golf
Verified PurchaseI couldn’t find a plug and play kit for a 2015 Golf so I ordered this as the connectors looked right in the images. I can confirm the connectors are right but the wiring is not. If you’re planning on using this for a MK7 Golf you will have to change which wires the green and yellow converter wires are tapped into. Instructions that were included in the kit are trash but there is an etrailer video on YouTube that shows you what color the wires are that you need to tap into. A little bit of extra work but worth it as I didn’t have to cut into my cars factory wiring harness.
