TRAILER HITCH MODULES

OEM Trailer Hitch Modules — Genuine VAG Replacements for Retrofit and Replacement

Trailer hitch control modules manage the electrical side of your tow bar system — recognizing when a trailer is connected, switching off the rear parking sensors while towing, triggering trailer stability functions, and controlling the electrically swiveling hitch on vehicles equipped with one. When the module fails, the symptoms are usually clear: the car doesn't recognize a connected trailer, throws errors on the dashboard, or the entire trailer-related functionality goes dead.

This category covers our full range of genuine OEM trailer hitch control modules for the VAG group. Every module is brand-new — never used, never dismantled, never aftermarket. Working trailer hitch modules are almost never removed from vehicles, so used units on the market are, by their nature, units where something had already gone wrong.

Unlike some other module categories, trailer hitch modules are frequently used for retrofit projects. If you're adding a factory tow bar to a vehicle that didn't come with one — whether fixed, detachable, or electrically swiveling — the mechanical hitch is only part of the setup. Without the correct control module coded to your VIN, the car won't recognize the trailer, won't switch off the parking sensors when towing, and won't activate stability control functions. Whether you're replacing a failed module or completing a retrofit, sending us your VIN when ordering lets us confirm the correct variant and pre-code it for your specific vehicle.

An important note for owners of 2024+ vehicles: some model year 2024 and newer vehicles with PR codes NI1, NI7, NI8, or NI9 (related to UNECE CS/SU cybersecurity regulations) may have limitations regarding tow bar retrofitting or module activation. If your vehicle is from 2024 onwards, please contact us with your VIN before ordering so we can verify compatibility.

Every module ships VIN-coded and ready to install — no dealership visit, no additional programming, no second trip to a workshop. Real technical support, video guidance, and installation instructions included. If you can't find the exact OEM part number you're looking for in this category, contact us — we can often source additional OEM components on request.
