Review on Tow Ready 20142 7-Way Flat Pin to 7-Flat Plug Adapter - Regular Plug by Don Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used it to pair my Tekonsha 90250 RF brake controller

I had a 2013 VW Tiguan with a Tekonsha P3 controller which worked very well but presented a major problem connecting to this tractor. When I traded the tractor for a 2016 Tiguan, I bought a Tekonsha 90250 RF unit. Surprisingly, the same trailer (with LED headlights) that worked fine with my 2013 Tiguan did not work when plugged into a factory 7-way connector on a 2016 Tiguan. I thought the Tow Ready 20142-7 adapter might fix that, but it doesn't. I needed a VW tow bar electrical installation kit 5N0055204NA installed by a VW dealer. The trailer headlights then worked fine, but even then it would not pair with the Tekonsha 90250 RF controller until I inserted the Tow Ready 20142-7 adapter between the trailer and controller. Back then, pairing was easy. Once paired, I was able to remove the Tow Ready 20142-7 adapter.

Pros
  • Trial for a year
Cons
  • Expensive
