Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the CURT powered taillight converter on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. So one of the things that I really like about this setup is that the wiring is going to be stored on the inside of your VW whenever you're not using it. That way, it'll stay out of the elements and won't take away from the looks of the back of your Golf, but whenever you're ready to use it, it's really easy. All you're going to have to do is open up your hatch and grab it. Now, when you're not using it, you can simply just put it in your storage container and that'll be out of sight out and out of mind. With that being said, when you're ready to hook up, you simply just drape it over your threshold. Anywhere along the threshold is fine.Other than the latch area, you want to do your best to avoid that. Cause if it gets pinched in there, it could get damaged. That being said, we just closed your hatch and then you're ready to hook up. Now, something that I do think is really important, is the fact that we have a module box. So what that module box is going to do is protect your vehicle's factory wiring. If a short or an electrical issue we're to occur on the trailer side. That's really important, especially with these Volkswagen, a lot of them have really advanced wiring and you don't want to do anything to jeopardize the electronics inside of your Golf Sport Wagon. So this kit is going to be really well built, all the wires are nice and thick, and I can see it lasting for a long time. But this could be a really simple way to provide you with the solution and maybe the power of a small trailer, like a kayak hall or something like that to give you the necessary lighting functions to be safe and legal.What a lot of people don't think about too, is many hitch-mounted accessories actually have lights on them or you can put lights on them like a cargo carrier for example. This will allow you to plug into that accessory and have those lights work as well. It is going to have a nice thick, rubber dust cap, and even though it lives inside the Volkswagen it's still going to help keep any moisture, dirt, and debris out. Now, I do recommend going the extra mile from time to time and apply some dielectric grease to the terminals. That'll just insure you never get any corrosion. You can also use this cap to temporarily mount your wiring outside, wrap it around your hitch and clip it together. That way, if you drop a trailer or something and plan on coming back in an hour or two, you already have it out here and you can just hook right up to it again.Now compared to the other wiring, I think this setup definitely has an advantage. I feel like it's more well-built and I feel like it's going to be a lot more reliable and that's because the wiring directly crimps onto your factory wiring. So that connection is really solid. Now, even though we do have to crimp it into that factory wiring, it's easy to get to and it's straightforward. It's not really too complicated. I'd say the most time-consuming part is having to run the power wire from the back here up to the engine compartment. But I'll show you how I did that and how I crimped on all the wires. Speaking of which, let's go ahead and do that together. Now to begin our install, we're going to be here at the back of our Volkswagen and we're going to be working just inside, so we need to open up our hatch.Over here on the driver's side, we're going to have this panel here. We can turn these knobs, move it out of the way, and that's going to expose our taillight wiring. So we need to unplug it. It helps to have a tool like this or just a small flathead screwdriver. We're going to have a red tab so we'll pop that out that way. Then in the center, we're going to have a tab you can push down on and pull the plug out. We're going to do the same thing over here on the passenger side, except we're going to have a little bit different panel. This one you can kind of just grab underneath it, move it out of the way, and then unplug our connector the same way we did the other side.Back over on the driver's side, we're going to have to remove a couple of things to give us some more room to work. One, being this foam container here with y
