Default Which trailer brake controller?

Dreadlocks I think you had a neat super tiny one, care to chime in?
I already installed the OEM hitch and towing module/coded etc. Car did not have factory tow package.
What else do I need up front to have everything integrated and playing nice?


Thanks,
Greg

I'm using a redarc tow pro elite, think they got a newer model out now.. there's a thread either on here or touareg forums that goes over the parts you need to DIY a harness to plug into OEM brake spot under drivers dash.

I put the controller **** down in the coin tray:

2nd that Dread! And by the way, thanks for all your help!
I made a little bracket, easier to reach when needed quickly and it was!
Never-mind the console wrap, it was crap and deleted quickly! Great wrap job, just didn't look good afterwards.

I use a Hopkins Insight in the TDI, and a cheaper Reese Brakeman IV is going into the 3.6. The Insight was in my old 4.2, and it worked great.
