Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Redarc TowPro wiring harness

    Has anyone connected a Redarc Towpro to the Tiguan? If so, which wiring harness did you use, and where is the plug?

    I have the VW dealer fitted tow bar and electronics, and keen to install the redarc controller.

    If all else fails, I guess will need to go to ARB or similar to get it done.

    I’ve tried searching and have not been able to find an answer / instructions.

    I tried to have a Redarc installed by my local ARB and they refused to do it claiming it was to complicated, i even offered to pay extra labour to get the job done but they didn't budge. I called a few similar places and none were interested so i switched to an elecbrakes wireless controller. I was a bit sceptical at first but it works great.

        Thread about them here Just a moment...

        Reading elsewhere there is doubt about their legality in Australia, especially in NSW where they have regs about controller must be able to be used from the drivers seat.
        Read up on them and even Join the Caravanners Forum as im sure it will have been discussed on there.
        There is no reason a REDARC cant be installed in a Tiguan as it is only 3 wires. Power from an always ON fuse Earth to body and the only other wire is the blue one which is activated by power in the brake circuit

        See Here USA site but cars are similar

        Or locally try here VW Tiguan Electric Brake Controller

        To ANARKI2010 A location in your sig more specific than Australia gives us more idea of which States regs you are working under
