So no one knows where to locate the pre-wired harness or where to install the control box?

In your first pic just over the right exhaust heat shield there is a cable. On my car that is the electrical harness for trailer lights.
It plugs in way at the back of the space referred to above.
I have no real help for you, apart from this link if its any use.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/q7/threads/2150.phtml#13488">Previous discussion</a></li></ul>

Thanks for the pic of your vehicle. Definitely a different setup.

The cable that is over the right exhaust heat shield is the wiring harness that came with the tow hitch that I routed over there and through the provided hole. It came with a grommet that closes the hole nicely.

I was referring to the internal wiring that apparently should have been pre-run down the side of the vehicle to the back.

I may need to contact "Dr. Chill" and get the TSB since my VIN ends prior to the running change introduced at 7D021937.

I believe I have the NAV DVD drive in that slot on my 2008 4.2 Premium. I'll double check and make sure. I'll try and take snapshot for you as well. I also have the US factory tow package, so that probably will help locate the unit.

Thanks! A snapshot would be great. Especially if I see the pre-wired connector head

Don't have that EU tow hitch in my 2008 4.2 Premium (US Spec)

Got the pictures.. but I don't know where to upload the photos.

And yes, I was right, the empty bracket (which you are also missing) fits the NAV DVD ROM.

As for the pre-wired harness, I'm not sure how it looks like so couldn't locate it.

Today the Fedex package showed up (from Craig at GenuineVWAudiPart.com) which contained the cover replacement (4L0807819C-XXX; XXX is the color code you need) for hitch installed.

The tolerance is awesome with about 4-5mm between the top of the cover and the protruding hitch. I haven't installed the trailer connector yet but you can see the access area to the left of the hitch in this shot.
