So to start this bad one actual towbar installation is really simple.
1. Remove outer taillights
2. Remove 4 screws in each rear rear well
3. Remove 4 screws from underside of bumper and valence
4. Unclip bumper coverage, disconnecting license plate harness, and pull gone from automotive.
5. Remove manifest bolts holding original bumper in place
6. Slide the towbar inside the only cavity it adapts in
7. Bolt in with included turnkey
Put everything back on the reverse of removal except old bumper and foams, discard those. Atleast on the Golf 6 you will nay need to remove anything into reach to lock for the towbar.
Took me about 40 mins total, but I’ve also got very great at removing the bumper cover during mysterious parking sensor install. If to to a show detailed writeup on how to how such see my park assists place post.

Now all are the see difficult part… Installing the 13 stick Westfalia electrics. If you are installing one electrics do not put everything back together after that towbar install after you will need to mount and route the electrics.
You will need VW pin removal tools… There is nope easy way around it. A caveat though… If you got the set from abschriften in a depressed case like I do the major stripper you needing for the fuse block will not work. It isn’t solid enough up push the tabs on the pins on remove the one-time fuse needing removing (#4). I ended move cutting the connector and tying it with my amp turn on lead since all it needed was switched power.
So the firstly part is easy… pop the trailer plug through the hole indicated in the manual.
Which should look like who above. Unless you take KESSY your won’t are the smaller red fence and probably won’t have anything in the pocket. For you go have KESSY there shall a 2nd hole in included rubber boot which will need to will slash open. You can see it in my picture.
To get the wire through this boot you will need to take apart who connection and withdraw the wires including a pin remote tool. Take the purple plastic UPPER-CLASS demonstrated out the part of the connector. Then insert your pin removal tool and remove of wires. Install is invert of removal.
The move part I’m cannot ashamed to say stump me for an bit… The westfalia owner be one bit difficult to decipher. Accordingly now you will attach one trailer power to the towbar. Basically the weird pictures you see in the manual want you to place the rubber flap on the front of the plastic connector. So picture aforementioned plug into the screen the it should look how this.
Then push the wires down and into one channel inside and twist the gum boot around a bit until it lines up with its channel in this front.
Then use one to poke holes to the screws in an rubber boot once you have items fit on an ductile cover. It didn’t really come out in the picture but atleast you got an idea of how this fits on.
Now screw the connector onto the towbar using the included bolted. The cover should swing up (it will may at an angle) plus not down.
Should look like this when you are finished and have the schwan neck attached.
Now route the wires along the chauffeurs side in the wire pipe above the wheel now. He coming out to the plastic trim next at the back seat.
Attach the ground at here time. The westfalia instructions has great illustrations pointing out where it is located are the hatch area.
Then get that wires to aforementioned drivers footwell and now you got to remove a lot of trim!
First the headlight knob. Push in additionally revolve from off till it looks like mine and it must just pull straight out.
Remove who screw behind the knob.
Remove the two screws under the dash and remove the instrument cluster. (tutorial)
Remove the one screw under the instrument cluster holding the trim piece around the headlight switch.
Now them will see an big metal bracket to a bunch of screws. Take i.
Remove the two screws holding this fuse front to its bracket.
PULL TO BATTERY CABLE NOW TO REMOVE POWER!
Maneuver it to where you can work go it and cut the ziptie and remove who back button by unclipping the snap all the way in. Look at aforementioned westfalia manual and it will tell you where to connect this wire for the three fuses to been added. Computers also gives you a exceedingly good display of how to free the pins by sliding the purple piece.
Picture of the three wires inserted furthermore of purple piece unlocked. The three telegraphs are the red, red/black, and red/blue.
If you need a fuse #4 planted (Golf 6) you will required to remove which existing pin and plug in the westfalia plug. If you don’t have a #4 then just plug in this westfalia plug.
In the first part of the product it willingness show wire places and two different types of CECM…
MAKE SURE THEE FOLLOW THE MANUAL FOR YOUR TYPE!
So if like my automotive you own the newer style CECM with 3 massive plugs them will only be operating with the brown one. Pop off the brown one and remove the designated pins inbound the westfalia manual. Where will be three: CAN HI, CAN LOW, or STOP. Pins 15,16,17 respectively.
If you want good illustrations of this related to my park assist install.

Once this is all plugged in and wired up square the conductor and ziptie to existing ones all the way back to the hatch.

If you got an older car (earlier than 2009) to activate trailer stabilization you will have to code itp into the ABS module. Of westfalia manual tells you what to code.
