Thought you might all appreciate this. I decided to blackout some trim pieces on my Evoque. Went for Plasti-dip rattle-can as I've used it before. The front grill and side vents came out slightly text...

After googling for a while I couldn't find any pictures where anyone had removed the overhead console from the roofliner in their Evoque. I persevered and got mine out today. This topic is really just...

Maybe but there's two plugs under the car. The smaller of the two is a 9pin plug but it only has 4 connections in it on the factory side. The other 5 are blanks. That's the one I used with the Curt ha...

When you connect a trailer to the stock harness via a harness adapter, the car can tell because of the resistance in the lighting circuit. You don't need anything else. This is also why you can't use ...

That is the Curt harness. Fit perfectly, works great. The dash shows me a trailer light when I'm using my indicators confirming the circuits are working. I didn't have to take it to the dealer. The c...

FYI I did my install about a month ago and had to cut the bumper. I also had to modify the hitch itself as one of the mounting holes did not align with the bracket under the car. Curt say they modifie...

Another update. The Curt hitch in fact does not appear to have been modified. I finally got mine fitted but it required cutting the rear bumper. The forward mounting hole at the front on the drivers s...

I'll be damned. Thanks for the tips. Oh one more thing. Did you need to get anything done to the computer for towing? Disabling backup sensors or anything ? My old vw Tiguan had a "towing mode" that c...

Wow. They're literally under the car wide open to the elements? I had no idea. I'll go and crawl around and have a look. Thanks.

Has anyone attempted the trailer electrics wiring themselves? Looks like you need to take the rear bumper off to get access to the wiring run. I don't mind having a go at doing the hitch myself but th...
